Dixie Outlet Mall Spring 2010 Trends

MUST HAVE FASHIONS FOR LESS

TORONTO, April 12 /CNW/ - The Spring season is in bloom and it's time to refresh your wardrobe. Tighter budgets mean there is less money to experiment with fashion but you don't want to compromise style. Dixie Outlet Mall has teamed up with Tara Williams - Stylist and TV Fashion Producer - Steven & Chris Show, to share some tips on how to update your Spring style for less.

With over 130 stores and services, Dixie Outlet Mall offers a huge selection of brand name fashions, accessories, footwear, and home decor, at up to 60% off. According to Williams, who has worked with top-tier fashion labels and retailers, "You should select trends that compliment your personal style and wear them with confidence. When shopping on a budget for this season's must haves -save money by updating your wardrobe with a fabulous statement piece, a bold accessory, or bright splashes of colour. Choose clothes, footwear, and accessories with the versatility to go from day to night."

Here are Tara and Dixie Outlet Mall's fashion trend tips for Spring 2010:

    
     -  Denim on Denim is this season's casual classic. Dress it up with
        darker washes and tailored fits. Complete the look with an oversized
        shoulder bag and a pair of sexy heels.

     -  Short Suits radiate chic, confidence. The look works best if shorts
        are just above the knee. Pair a crisp shirt and tailored blazer with
        casual shorts to create a trendy Spring suit. Finish the look with a
        pair of wedge heels and cool sunglasses.

     -  Bright Colours and Bold Florals create a fresh, feminine allure.
        Express your style by wearing blocks of contrasting colours - or an
        over all colour for big impact. Pair a floral print with a hit of
        colour to make your florals pop - or give your neutrals a boost with
        a vibrant hue. This colourful trend can also be found in this
        season's footwear and accessories.

     -  Safari and tribal prints are classics that are updated this season
        with fabulous details. Look for khaki, beige, and military green. Go
        with animal prints or keep the look tame and chic.

     -  Pattern Mixing is a hot trend for men this season. Layering stripes
        and checks in soft colours create interest and dimension to a casual
        look. Cardigans, messenger bags, and cool kicks are essentials for
        Spring 2010.
