Fashion trends for spring & summer


It is still cold in Lithuania – about +5°C. This is the best time to make your wardrobe ready for summer time. So what is fashionable in this season?
The main tendency is womanliness. We left behind the tomboy, the rock chick and other styles, which were borrowed from the boyfriends’ wardrobe. And return to the spring of female. That’s why season’s clothing is a dress, season’s print – floral motifs, season’s novelty – art deco, and season’s colors are sherbet, candies and pastel palette. And this is called the princess chick.
