Spring Fashion Trend: Grecian Goddess
April 25, 2008 06:00 PM

Rami Kashou (you know, from the last round of Project Runway) must be in fabric-draping heaven this season; Grecian Goddess style is making a statement this Spring, and, quite frankly, we think it’s pretty great. The look is sophisticated, feminine and best of all, flattering. We love that this particular trend, unlike, say, ruffles and giant polka dots, can be worn by just about anyone—any body type, any age group, any walk of life. Some tips:

Don’t get overwhelmed. Petite fashionistas will want to make sure the draping is not so complicated, or doesn’t involve so much fabric, as to wear you instead of vice versa. Likewise, curvier girls will want to make sure that the draping doesn’t over-emphasize certain areas, like hips or bust, in such a way as to throw your figure out of balance (like this dress from Torrid.com, on sale for $38).

Keep the color palette soft. While bold color is still the top trend of the season, we’re thinking softer shades keep the Grecian draped look sophisticated rather than costumy.  Think ivory, pale blue, soft pink, beige, or other neutral tones. If you can’t live without bold color, go with something deep, like plum, rather than something bright like, say, electric orange.

Don’t over dramatize the accessories. The Grecian Goddess look plays best with minimal fuss—keep accessories to a minimum and make sure what you do choose is simple and/or delicate.

Grecian tunic from Twelve by Twelve, $26
