I am really excited about the new trends emerging for the 2010 Winter season. I say 'new' trends - in fact a lot of whats coming up is a refinement of what we have seen over the last few seasons. Tailoring seems to be back with a bang, and this in turn is bring out a range of long forgotton fabrics - tweed, velvet and sheer are all making a comeback.
Leather too was a favorite on the runway and we can expect to see a revival of the infamous leather pants but also the equally maligned thigh high boots!! Once belonging exclusively to the worlds of fishermen and Julia "Pretty Woman" Roberts, the thigh high boot is becoming a fashion piece in its own right. After making tentative appearances on the runway for the past few seasons the Boot is now officially back. Look at this as an easier way to wear leather pants with a dress over it.
Moving on, one of the most exciting pieces for next season are the bold shoulders we will see on dresses and jackets. Coupled with the untimely death of Michael Jackson this summer we can expect to see a lot of these in the stores this winter.
All in all it promises to be an exciting season for fashion. While there are some great new pieces which will mix things up, there is also a lot of opportunites to recycle pieces already in your closet. The eighties inspiration which has dominated the High Street doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and the tulip silhouette in skirts and dresses remains a strong contender. Which means it should be easy to stay bang on trend without breaking the bank! Faboosh!
