 If
you’ve just finished putting the flip flops and spaghetti straps
away for the year, you’ll be eagerly heading to update your wardrobe
for the fall and winter. Winter 2010 trends have reached a new level
of wearability, and odds are pretty good that you’ll already have
some of these pieces in your wardrobe. Toss in a new accessory, and
you’re ready to go! Here are some of our favorite looks from the
runways.
Minimalism
This trend is all about long, clean lines, neutral colors, and a
minimum of fuss. Look for single color pieces, especially coats and
dresses, in black, white, gray, and camel. They should fit with
hardly a wrinkle to maintain that clean minimalist silhouette. The
good news is that any minimalist piece you buy will be fashionable
for years: beautifully tailored, simple clothing that fits your body
just never goes out of style.
Military
Whether you prefer army green or traditional black, a clean cut
military coat is this season’s one staple. Choose from a huge range
of styles, from cropped double-breasted blazers to mid and
full-length coats with seam, shoulder, and button details. (Be sure
to avoid the fussy, trim-laden, band-leader look of 2008; the new
military coat is decidedly more utilitarian.) Pair your military
coat with sleek riding boots or over-the-knee boots to complete the
look.
Camel
This classic neutral never seems to go out of style, and it’s
certainly back in the limelight now. On the runways, we spotted it
in coats, tunics, wraps, skirts, trousers, and boots. Keep it simple
and monochromatic to be a part of the minimalist trend, or dress it
up with a contrasting belt, purse, or scarf. (Hint: shearling and
animal prints are also in style this season.)
Hourglass Silhouette
Got curves? You’ll be delighted to hear that designers have finally
embraced female curviness this season with clothing that accentuates
bust, waist, and hip. Look for belted dresses and coats that feature
ruching, flaring, or even padding to achieve that vintage hourglass
shape.
