Surf's up for knits this summer. We have been seeing them in dresses for a while, but knits are really hanging 10 for tops in the summer of '08. They are out there as the
banded jewel necklines in drapey silhouettes, preppy color filled polos, deep scoops, boatnecks, and have been seen in more stripes than a beach umbrella. To put it in surfer terms,
Chillax. whichever works for you, go for it, keep it real and rip your sewing to new heights! Just remember to maintain a low key vibe when you’re in the lineup. :)
Fabrics include: Beach Party,
Creamsicle,
Hot Coral,
Vivo Stripe,
Hyannisport,
Yarmouthport, and
Shangri-la.

Whether you’re trekking the wilds of Africa, or big
game viewing on ESPN, the relaxed look and feel of natural fibers in soft
earthy tones beckons. Like the tides, the look waxes and wanes from one
fashion season to another, but its presence is a comforting constant. In
recent years the look has morphed from animal prints to large scale
botanicals with soft neutrals all the while following the pack. This
season, the Out of Africa solids of soft off-whites and natural khakis
rule the savannah and hold court over beasty and botany.
