Fashion trends 2012: Romantic style

Talking about trens for spring/summer season (that seems to be approaching timidly), which one I'll talk about in this post is Romantic Style. A stlyle that is more a way to be, that knows no time or season, suitable in every occasion.

Almost two weeks ago, taking advantage of few days of vacation, I went to visit my grandparents after months... By chance, I found my grandold trunk full of her old clothes and photos... I watched them for hours. She seemed so far away to me... carefree and smiling, discreet and feminine with a truly unique style!

Trying her clothes I felt like I did a step back in time! It's amazing to see how those same clothes and style are so current today! Laces, ruffles, floral prints, bows, ribbons... the perfect translation of that romantic style, so ladylike, that enchants us for generations, proposed for this s/s season and that brands like Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren e Valentino celebrated in great style.

Highlights of this style are: a little vintage allure, lace pieces, soft colors, fluis shapes, soft blouses, flared skirts, girly shoes, hedbands and bows.

I like this style so much! It's so delicate, so feminine, so romantic! And it gives us the chance to stock up in our grandma's closet! However, how to resist the gentle touch of soft lace or the sweetness of a chantilly dress? But be careful how you create your outfit, the risk "Cotillion Ball" is round the corner!

In my opinion, these are some options to reinterpret the romantic style in contemporary way:

Romantic style - miumiu's polyvore

Romantic style #2 - miumiu's polyvore

Romantic style #3 - Ladyfairy's polyvore

Romantic style #4 - Ladyfairy's polyvore

Romantic style #5 - Ladyfairy's polyvore

This style is so sweet... Among the proposals of various brands, I chose  some low cost ones as Bershka, PullandBear, Stradivarius, Maison Espin and Promod. My personal suggest is  darlingclothes for your romantic purchases. Here the galley...



What do you think about? Do you feel romantic too?
