AmaZe Plus Size Magazine - Plus Size Fashion Trends With Michele Weston

FASHION DIRECTION
by michele weston

So what's new and hot for our curvy figures this spring 2006?

Well! I would ask what isn't in for spring! A new season always brings with it a handful of major trends, but they do come with warning labels ladies! Remember that every trend offers you a myriad of choices, so you're in danger of falling into the fashion-victim trap if you aren't careful and don’t choose wisely.

The rule of thumb? Make sure each item you buy works with at least five styles you have in your wardrobe already.

A brush-up on going from spring to summer you ask? Well, a rundown of which trends to look for and how to wear them will be blasted from AmaZe every week during April and May!

Watch your email box for...

White Out - Don't be Shy! You can wear this trend as long as you know how to choose and balance the great white way! We show you this trend from head to toe and offer a little added flair as well!

T-Shirts that are perfectly simple and made of supple cotton with a bit of fashion spin.

Gold shines bright this season from bangles to bags! Update your look with an accessory!

Shirts are delicately feminine and we bring you the shapes that skim your curves and make you look hotter than the season!

Neutrally Yours in so many shades of cream and tan BUT consider greens from army green to bright spring tones. And don't forget the espadrilles and straw bags to go with it!

Camisoles from the 1940’s boudoir are still classic lingerie pieces - and they make your work-look look modern. We bring you the best and the newest for inspiration.

Denim Do's are timeless, but sometimes we forget that the closer to our silhouette - the better our curves look! So we bring you new styles from head to toe to check out!

Cropped and Crazy - Yes, again let's break some rules with prints in your jackets and skirts and we match it all up for you with the perfect mate!

Trouser Shorts?! The traditional menswear pant becomes playful when cut as long bermuda shorts or capri's - BUT you must try them with heels! So this season we match it all up for you with the best pairs of sandals, wedgies and slides.

Dress Up - What would we do without the perfect date ensemble or a classic dress silhouette. We bring you the newest for all your events this season!

So look for hot trends and great deals from AmaZe each week. We deliver them right to your inbox. Easy! The best ways to wear a runway look! Accessories galore! Bargains and coupons to boot! After all, there's nothing better than finding the perfect look that not only fits and flatters but is oh so chic and cheap!

Happy Retail Therapy!
