Damage limitation
Article Abstract:
The key fashion styles for summer 1999, which include cropped trousers and slip dresses, can be unflattering unless worn with care. It is wise to avoid wide-legged cropped trousers, which are not flattering to most people's legs. The capri pant, which is longer than a pedalpusher and narrow without revealing the shape of the leg too much, is a better choice. When wearing a sheer shirt, it is best to be bold about your underwear, rather than trying to disguise it.

Blooming gorgeous
Article Abstract:
Floral prints are set to become very fashionable in the UK in summer 1999. This is being seen particularly in designs from Gucci, which feature vibrant floral colours. Those who lack the confidence to wear such striking prints may prefer the traditional Liberty print, which is very much in line with the Victorian theme of the current season and the next season. Designers have chosen a range of different flowers, creating a rather eclectic mood.

Return of the Victorian fashion victim
Article Abstract:
Fashion trends of the Victorian era are currently undergoing a revival. The most fashionable clothes have a slim silhouette and use small amounts of lace, chiffon or satin. Black is the best colour for emphasizing the silhouette.
