The New Look For A New Decade Beginning In 2010
Fashion is for the people, of the people and by the people. Street wear from teens becomes a rage, and runs its way onto the fashion runways. The New Age Consumer is truly in charge, proving the adage - CUSTOMER IS KING.
One simply needs to think out of the box and set fashion trends for 2010. Make your look signature by using evergreen stuff (pencil skirts, buttons up) and complement them with personal pieces (buckled belts, patterned tights). Splurge on a trendy must-have only if it allows versatility for wearing daily at work and otherwise, and if it goes with your personal pieces (leggings, skinny jeans, boyfriend jacket).
It's not as much as what to wear but how to wear stuff that decides whether one can set fashion trends for 2010 which becomes current and truly hot!

What to wear - Timeless pieces even though expensive are a must-have for every wardrobe. For the current season's must-haves, ideally the boyfriend blazer and wraparounds serve to be all-purpose - They can be worn with tights, or leggings teamed with flats for a casual look or with heels for a dressy look. Notwithstanding that both can withstand all seasons and sizes.
How to wear - is the million dollar question NOW?
The ‘HOW IS NOW' dictates that.
The current silhouette - an oversized sweater cardigan hitting from hip to below knee-length is not only cosy but allows one to go sweaterless in chilly weather or indoor offices and can be worn with tights, skinny jeans or leggings tucked into tall boots or ankle boots. This will make for a bold style statement allowing layered/stout necklaces and broad bracelets as matching accessories. Sport a long-sleeved tee for a tall and slim look in matching colours as the baggy cardigans.
The hottest looks start with ankle boots. Wear black boots with black jackets but not with long skirts. Although considered informal, avoid furry or fringed ankle boots. Complement boots with socks visible from low-cuts. Tuck your tights into ankle boots.
To make a basic black dress interesting, add texture via tights featuring openwork patterns to let your skin peek. Vertical openwork patterned tights make legs seem longer, and coupled with simple dresses or tunics in crepe, and a knitted sweater or jersey gives a beautiful finish. Most flattering looks are achieved by simply adhering to tone on tone (black tights to go with black dresses).
Add tone on tone scarves to neutral shades for apt fashion trends for 2010 - black, navy blue, camel and cream to create a simple and truly sophisticated aura when mixing fabrics (satin, wool, metallic shine, etc,). Skinny scarves go with fitted tops and jackets. Avoid giant-sized knots on your neck or else it creates an overwhelming look. A contrasting scarf can be used as a spotlight accessory. Scarves don't go well with evening dresses but are a must to look dressy for appropriate events. Don't overdo the look by adding a wide-brimmed hat, and trying on printed scarves work wonders if it's a correct match with the coat.
Finally, top it with a hat scaled to go with your face and body, enabling an apt silhouette to your crowning glory.
