THE OVERALL MOOD
 Spring
Summer 2008 is bright and brazen. Gone are the heavy hard winter clothes
- they have been usehered out by the colours and fabrics of summer.
Neons and denim adorn jackets as the mood of smart casual continues,
with the emphasis on the 'smart'.
Sexy and overt with body parts on show, the skinny tie and the hat remain,
but otherwise we have a fresh take on 2008 which suggests health and
fitness.
