By Dawn Gross -Gladiator Flat -Long shirts belted -Skinny jeans with flats, gym shoes, or heels. -Trench jacket belted * I have found that belting can really enhance an outfit, by belting I mean the thicker belts. * Trim dresses are popular as well with tonal beaded trim, this gives the feel of dressing casual but with the beading makes it dressy. This type of dress can be worn walking down the street, or if you decide to go out to a nice classy restaurant. I have found that flats are dominating heels. As much as women love to wear stilettos and pumps with their dresses, flats are more comfortable, and there are a lot more stylish flats coming out, including the gladiator flat. Chanel has very versatile flats out for their spring/summer collection. * As far as bags for the summer of 2008, In Nyc both women and men are about designer. I have seen Marc Jacos totes to the classic LV bag. I have seen lots of men carrying Louis Vuitton backpacks, so LV is very versatile. LV is the most popular bag that I have seen while I have been here. I have seen different sizes, different style LV bags, but I have noticed that the Damier Canvas has been a lot more popular than the monogram Canvas, and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that the Monogram print is more likely to have a knock off rather than the Damier Canvas. I know from Th LV store in Macys, Minnesota that the Damier Canvas was more popular than the Monogram print because of the same reason. Spending a lot of money on a LV bag, you have to make sure that it doesn’t resemble a knock off.
