Women's Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Trends
*must-have elements this season*
Spring/Summer 2009 Clothes: Key Looks
`Sheer Fabrics
2009's sheer pieces are a mixture of the soft and feminine, used in a multitude of ways: tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, feminine draping.
`Fringed FashionAs a Spring/Summer 2009 trend, the fringed dress or skirt becomes sleek, sexy and feminine. Fringed dresses in particular should be on every girls to-buy list this summer.
`One-Shouldered Tops & DressesLegs and breasts are often a girl's best fashion accessory, but showing off one-shoulder in a dress can be subtly sexy and interesting on the eye.
`Grecian Goddess Dresses
As maxi-dresses and short little numbers, the Grecian dress is one of the key looks that any woman can indulge in.
`Butterfly Motif
While stars were 2008's motif of choice, 2009 brings a new emblem into our wardrobes: the butterfly.
