Top 10 Fall/Winter Fashion Trends for 2010
Let some classic beauty in your life.
Chain bags that are influenced by the Chanel 2.55 bag are so in vogue for fall and winter 2009 - 2010. Chain strap bags can be worn as lovely clutches and across-body style. Just like with the heels, metal embellishment is really huge for bags, too.
No need to restrain yourself from getting extra large with accessories.
Go oversized with chains and studs and jewelry and dramatic silhouettes. Thinking huge chunky rings and cuffs and leather bracelets.
Glitter is still really hot.
Shimmering fabrics are so in for f/W 09-10. To somehow balance the look designers suggest combing sparkling with demure cuts.
Go back to the retro look with French chic.
cinched waists are present in both casual wear and outerwear. Get ready to see belted coats, skirts and trousers.
Masculine Femininity
Female fashion gets mannish. A masculine tailored blazer becomes one of the season's key pieces. Typical men's fabrics like tweed enter a woman's wardrobe in the form of shift dresses and jackets.
Zebra & leopard
Animal prints are still huge. Zebra and leopard prints stand out and dominate the print palette. The characteristic feature of all prints this coming season is that they're statement - exaggerated and strong. Cavelli, Mulberry and Chanel.
Capes
Forget about carefully tailored coats. Go free with capes. Designers advise to pair them with elegant shift gowns. Armani.
Knits
They'll keep you warm and trendy during cold months. Make sure your knitted clothes are bold, big and shoulder-padded.
Leather Gloves
Love this trend. Unlike other seasons, this time gloves can be absolutely different. Play with colors and shapes. Just make sure the gloves are leather, as this material is definitely a lead one this fall and winter.
Fur is Back
Fur is everywhere - but with great faux and some digging around at vintage shops, you can get the look without the guilt (or breaking the bank).
