One of the major trends for summer 2012 are the shines.
The sparkles are one of the influences that have flooded the international runways, with materials such as latex, vinyl, metals, the sequins and crystals are back, making recall the futuristic silhouette of the 60s led by Pierre Cardin and Andre Courrèges. It's the wave of shimmering that you can use in the warm evenings of summer. If you like the floral theme, you can also use and abuse of this style of clothes because spring came back in force. It is perhaps one of the strongest trends of this summer. Although the Portuguese do not like prints with strong hues and large sizes many patterns this year are more prudent, the flowers are smaller and discreet colors are a national flavor. White is the color highlight of the vacation season, from head the toe, a trend that is seen in more stylized looks. It is a tone that looks good in any woman, no matter what they say, especially on burnets. Another technique that goes back several centuries of fashion is the tie-dye effect.

This year, the gradient palette ranges from various shades ranging from the ice cream green to the most electric color that you can remember, a clear reference to the hippie movement, but with a more chic touch, less tribalism, since is betting on fine fabrics such as silks and satins. There are plenty to choose from and although this is a year of crisis, you can take ideas to recycle some part of your last season clothes, or do it yourself, dye clothes with the colors of this season and create new patterns to your liking.
