Calvin Klein's Whitewashed Spring 2010

New York – Basic American sportswear is what spring is all about this season at Calvin Klein, as a crisp collection of whites and natural tones created a casual vibe at the spring 2010 presentation on Tuesday, Nov. 10 in New York.

The womenswear collection was sexy and functional, with an assortment of khaki dresses, some belted for shape with others more loose and free falling, and sure to be accessorized with the some of the hot colored bags and shoes of the season. Tie-dye dresses made the perfect transition from day to night and debuted as a wardrobe staple.

Denim for spring 2010 is channeling the 80s era in fashion with wash and style, as whitewashed jeans are what's in store. Shades of white, ozone, and cloud are designed for men and women for a more contoured and shape enhancing fit, featuring straight leg for men, and classic skinny or boyfriend cut for women. Adorning ankle zippers and rivets add a taste of detail that goes a long way.

The successful bleached out look is not limited to jeans, but essentially formed the core of this springs sportswear looks, with everything worn with clean white oxfords. It was washed out warm khakis and cool grey suits for men, while women's whites were plunging, giving just the right amount of skin and coverage simultaneously.
