Couture: Spring/Summer 09 Trend

As we all welcome Spring with our arms wide open, you might want to consider embracing this season in style with some of the hottest key trends spotted on the S/S '09 runways previously! Keeping in mind of the local climate as well as the reduced pockets of most, here's what we think you guys should consider infusing into your daily wardrobe.

Thin/Light Cardigans


Being able to keep one warm and looking smart with a casual touch, lightweight cardigans might be handy with their flexibility and portability. They can be easily donned on and removed to be packed snuggly into your bag, according to conditions and needs. Best of all, you're able to add on multiple factors of style and class instantly to switch your look from casual to smart!

High-top Sneakers


It's time to bring forth your limited editioned sneakers as we go street style this Spring! High-top sneakers like those featured at Dior Homme's runway have made a comeback this season as we see high end fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton showcasing such footwear for their Spring/Summer collection. If you're not looking to break your bank account, there are sports labels to look forward to. Take a N.A.P. folks! (Nike, Adidas, and Puma)









Cuffed Shorts


You've probably been wondering why your fashionista colleague or classmate has been walking around the compound in one of these, now you know why. Cuffed shorts will probably be one of the most important and iconic trends for men this season as we noticed them appearing at several runways. You might want to choose those made of thin and cooling material to combat the heat when you hit the streets in these hot shorts. (Tip: Try pairing these shorts with a pair of high-top sneakers for a casual look. I think we've had enough of seeing white loafers everywhere already.)

Backpacks/Haversacks

Definitely not too old school these days to be spotted with a backpack on your back. We've seen them on the backs of Marc by Marc Jacob models, it should be on yours too. With designer backpacks like Raf Simons by Eastpak, you shouldn't be having any tough time searching for an urban cool backpack. No more fatigued shoulders aftermath with one-sided slinging of messengers!
