Five Must-Have Spring 2007 Women’s Fashion Trends
February 20th, 2007
Pack away your bulky winter clothes and introduce your closet to some of spring’s chicest trends. While your parka and shawls enter hibernation, your brand new LWDs, trapeze silhouettes, and black-and-white prints are sure to enjoy heavy rotation.
Fuse the LWD and the LBD and mix things up with some wild patterns.

How can women in their late thirties(39) modify some of those trends. I love trapeze tops, but think I am too old. The little white dress would work. I would love some simple dresses at Forever 21 prices, but Theory seems to work better for me these days. Any suggestions?

Cute picks. I love the LWD.. makes me want to go out to brunch.

I was looking at the last one thinking boy does that look familiar… no kidding… I almost bought it the other day from Forever21.

Hi Pamela,
If you love trapeze tops, you should wear them! Just be mindful of what you wear them with. Here’s a trapeze shaped "dress" that would work nicely over jeans: Velvet Torch Scoop Neck Empire Dress. It has a flattering neckline and an easy to wear shape, and at $52, it’s a deal. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you might want to try this colorful Nanette Lepore Print Shift Dress…again, over a pair of pants.
And for the record, I’ve seen women of all ages shopping at Forever 21 :). Sure, the vast majority of the items are meant for a teenage/twentysomething crowd, but there are respectable looking finds there for women of all ages…if you have the time to look. You might also try H&M and Zara, and even Target, for cheap chic finds. All tend to be fashion forward and relatively inexpensive. Great for trendy items that you only want to wear for a season or two. Oh, and Target tends to be more forgiving of less-than-perfect figures.
Hope that helps!
Trisha

I just bought a trapeze top at Old Navy. (At least I think it “counts” as “trapeze”… I can’t find it on the website now…)
Anyway, since it is sleeveless I was planning on wearing it over a long-sleeved t-shirt (or maybe black turtleneck?) until the weather warms up. I think this might feel more age appropriate for 30-somethings also.

Excellent idea, Robyn. Layering the sleeveless trapeze top over a long sleeved top does help make it more age-appropriate.
