Fall Trends 2010

If you have been window shopping or browsing the latest catalogs, there is no hiding the fact that the fall shipments have arrived.

Fall is by far my favorite season. I love watching the leaves change color. The temperature is perfect. And the smell of bonfires fill the evening air. Above everything else, I love the clothes!

With the help of style.com, I have listed the top trends for the fall 2010 season. 

Fifties Something: "Cleavage made a, um, big comeback on the Fall runways, with hourglass silhouettes front and center. Nina Ricci's combo of bustier and curve-hugging, below-the-knee pencil skirt had a retro 1950's twist..." 

Nina Ricci

Under Wraps: "The minimalist resurgence may be continuing apace, but that didn't stop some designers from taking a more-is-more approach. J.Crew's Jenna Lyons covered her models in a mix of sequins, shearling, cashmere, and denim... Whatever else, you won't go cold this winter."


J Crew

Fur Real (Faux too): "The Fall runway shows wrapped up without a single documented PETA-sponsored prank. Ironic, considering how many pelts decorated the catwalks... At Chanel, everything from the house's classic tweeds and quilted, chain-strap bags to yeti boots was trimmed in fur—faux fur, that is."

Chanel

Hue New: "The way to wear color this fall: head to toe, believe it or not. Tory Burch showed an orange sweater and skirt with matching lipstick and leggings... Turns out "matchy-matchy" is now a compliment."

Man Up: "There's a running joke that people join the fashion industry because they can't cope with corporate dress codes. Well, the laugh is on us this season. Menswear-inspired suiting and outerwear are key looks—and the smartest way to carry the minimalist trend forward.  Alexander Wang did a tailored wool jacket, albeit with an exposed midriff that might get you canned on Wall Street."

The Gold Economy: 'It wasn't all beige, beige, beige on the season's runways. Diane von Furstenberg and Dries Van Noten turned out gold lamé frocks, Jason Wu and Peter Som added flourishes of metallic foil printing to their dresses, and Marco Zanini went for head-to-toe brocade shimmer at Rochas. Ah, decadence. How we've missed you."


Diane von Furstenberg


The Long View: "It's time to retire your micro-minis and sky-high heels. No, really. Designers have gone long for both day and night, turning out demure yet dramatic skirts that skim the upper shins (Marc Jacobs at both his own label and Louis Vuitton), graze the ankles (Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren), or fall gracefully somewhere in between. The most comforting part of this story: The new lengths look smashing with easy-on-the-feet kitten heels and flat-soled boots."
