Trend Alert: Ombre

21

Ombre is beginning to rear its pretty head and while it feels very warm-weathery, I'm already seeking a new ombre addition. I'm still on the fence though — some of these items are dope, while some of them are dull. Here's the dilemma: It's a trendy motif, but only looks good on fine fabrics. Case in point: ombred fur at J. Mendel's Spring '08 show (pictured). Thus, one should seek out an ombre that looks expensive but doesn't break the bank. Ah, the trials and tribulations of fashion . . .

Ombre means shadow. In French we say " dégradé". Weird.

I'm not a fan of ombre at all. Maybe I just haven't found an item I like with it yet.

Ombre is iffy. I agree that it depends on the piece. Some of it looks great and some of it just looks awful.

I got an ombre sweater from H&M which was far from expensive but still looks great so I don't think it has to look expensive. I actually think the fur looks really bad.
