2010 Fall Trends

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Last Saturday I went to Boston Store’s Trendevous fall fashion show. The trends they talked about for fall were:

Shine and sparkle-wear something that shines or sparkles such as a top or skirt or shoes or jewelry or a purse. Don’t overdo it. If you’re wearing a sequin top, do non-shiny pieces for the rest of your look and do minimal jewelry. Some earrings will be just enough.

Military-military jackets are hot and oh, so cute. Yes, cute and many are refined. I love the rows of buttons which give it some shine when using gold or silver buttons. Boston Store showed both jackets and some camouflage pants. If you decide to partake in the military trend, don’t overdo it and wear camouflage on both top and bottom. Leave that for the people who are doing it as a career (Armed Forces). Instead, wear either a camouflage jacket with solid pants or a plain top with camouflage pants.

All Black-a total black look is no new way of thinking. People have been doing it since colored clothing was invented. Boston Store did show some modern, chic ways to do it such as with a little black dress, black tights, shoes and some sparkly jewelry. Very eye catching.

Lots of Layers-of garments that is. Layering garments in winter is an easy thing to do because you’re trying to stay warm. This doesn’t mean looking sloppy. It means layering nice pieces in a thoughtful way. If you notice in the pictures, even plus size can do it. Usually it’s shied away from because it adds bulk, but if you use thin fabrics, you can do it and not look bulky.

A Jacket with Boots-this is pretty self explanatory. Pair a great jacket or coat with a hot pair of boots. Hot doesn’t necessarily mean high heels. It means eye catching so if your style is a low heel, that’s great as long as the boots have some detail that catches your eye such as laced up the front. Men, you can do this to.

Men, you can do all of the trends! Add some cuff links or a metal watch for shine.

Finale

Last Saturday I attended Boston Store’s semi-annual fashion show called trendevous (trend a vou) that Jordan Chambers narrated (and did a great job). The 2010 spring trends are:

Beaded Tops

Beaded tops-the more embellishments the better. I love the wild, geometric design embellished with different colored beads. The scarf adds even more interest although some people may find it too much. Be sure you wear a neutral bottom with a shirt like this or it will be too much. The white capris she’s wearing are perfect with this. Chaudry tunic in fuschia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Men & Details

For men, details such as buttons, snaps and other embellishments are big this season. This jacket with the big pockets and snaps can be worn to many casual events. The scarf adds a bit of sophistication and the olive pants give the outfit some extra color. Nautica Jeans utility jacket

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Denim & Neutrals

Denim paired with neutrals is another spring trend. A neutral color, such as tan, is great to pair with demin and really makes the denim pop. Remember, you only want to wear one denim item at a time. No jeans with a denim jacket and a denim shirt. Too much!

Another spring trend that continues from previous seasons, and in my opinion will probably become a classic, is the neutral shoe. This makes your legs look longer and slimmer. Try it, you’ll like it!  Jessica Simpson belted dress in denim

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daytime Dress in Floral

Another beautiful spring trend is a daytime dress. This one is in a bright floral which is also a trend. I think this dress is exquisite and so lady like. It’s wonderful for all of your spring and summer social events. Jessica Simpson dress in floral multi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Shirt

Yet another trend, which really isn’t a trend at all but a very classic garment is the white shirt. The white shirt has been around for many years and is a classic for both men and women. Here it’s paired with pencil skirt which is another classic. Whenever you don’t know what to wear, put these two together and you’re guaranteed to look polished.  Jones New York Signature knotted front-tie shirt in white; Lauren by Ralph Lauren belted skirt in black

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Trench Coat

Trench coats are a classic that are trendy this spring. Trench coats were made popular by the military many years ago and have stayed an essential in wardrobes around the world since then. Since your trench is a staple and you will wear it many times and can have it for many years, invest in a quality one.

Statement Necklace

The last spring trend is the statement necklace. The statement necklace has been around for a couple of seasons now but it’s so popular it continues to show up in new styles.  The one shown uses faux pearls and is a bib necklace due to its bib structure.  Erica Lyons faux-pearl bib necklace

Enjoy the great trends of this new season! I’m happy to answer all questions you may have about them.
