This spring season, we see a few trends that truly reflect the breezy, feminine spirit of spring. For example, bare looks continue to make a strong fashion statement for spring 2008 and beyond while showing some skin is considered a category trend. With modern technology, today's sheer hosiery yarns act similar to make-up by creating coverage to hide flaws while enhancing your natural color. Like cosmetics, sheer hosiery discreetly minimizes imperfections, creating beautiful bare legs. Sheer coverage is light foundation for the skin, giving you a pulled together polished look that is better than bare. Very sheer, nearly transparent, hosiery allows your legs to breathe in hot climates, but still make your legs appear flawless. Our Silk Reflections Transparent Sheer Collection styles are perfect to achieve the bare look, while perfecting your legs slight imperfections. Especially for this spring summer weather, be sure to try our new 0A937 Silk Reflections Transparent Sheer Toeless style. It features a breathable control top panty designed to keep you cool, while using the sheerest nylon and spandex combination to provide the ultimate fit. This style can be worn with sandals or open toe shoes, and will appear as if you are not wearing hosiery at all!

Spring 2008 is all about vintage and ladylike clothes as historical looks continue in a sweet and innocent way. Pretty, soft fabrics are often fragile and even girly. The Hanes Fashion 0A879 Modern Diamond is a beautiful delicate diamond tulle pattern, perfect to pair with other wispy spring fabrics. Frills, ruffles, and flounces trim all, while flowers resurface in prints, patterns and appliqués. Embroideries and lace are everywhere. Flirty and feminine looks are often seen in shades of white, white on white, soft colors and shimmering metallics. Classic monochromatic florals have a vintage mood, while haberdashery patterns, tiny florals and vines, foulards and tie patterns are uptight and proper. The Hanes Fashion 0A876 Floral Panel Net is evocative of the floral trend, easily giving you a bold statement for your legs. Brocades and jacquards take us back in time to an often dreamy escape of old world charm. Fashion hosiery styles are feminine and romantic in feel with laces, nets and lingerie inspired looks.

A more sophisticated approach to sportswear is taken with solid, bold fabrics and color for the spring season. Active, high-tech and industrial items through fabrics and trims take us into a new kind of modern sport. Basic and fuss-free clothes carry a strong message with clean lines in strong, neutral or hard, bright colors in technological fabrications, including slick synthetics and high-shine metallics. Bright colors and white look new, but heather grey is dominant. Fashion nets, such as the Hanes Fashion 0A877 Vertical Net, are graphic and bold, using geometric patterns while others are athletic inspired and are often clean and geometric, or meshed and zigzagged.
