The fashion industry is still on a retro binge, the fifties being the current inspiration. These styles are spreading optimism and summer sprightliness far and wide thought the use of many colors and ebullient prints. And needles to say, the fashion industry needs an upbeat mood more than anything else. Vendors have translated this trend into their summer collections admirably, creating clothes that are thrillingly youthful and feature fresh colors and designs. Dominant here are short skirts that swing or that dip in front, short dresses, and above all classic Capri pants. Knotted blouses, polo shirts and loose dress shirts are also big in various colors with flower or fruit prints and Vichy plaids, in all cases paired with lots of white.

Footwear
The current watchword is short vamps. Deeply décolleté models are much in demand, particularly ballerina shoes of all types, as well as pumps with straps and junior pumps with small queenly heels. These styles feature maidenly rounded forms, but pointed variants are also much in evidence. The unlined variants are lightweight, soft and flexible- perfect for wearing barefoot. Available in all colors, they also sport a broad range of prints and are often embellished with flowers and loops. Zoccolis and wedge heel models are alternative options here.
