Spring 2011 Key Looks on the Runway

Okay ladies I'm going to start off by naming all of the key trends for the spring and then I will choose a few to go into detail. The trends that I'll talk about in detail are trends that I think will be the most popular or easy for everyday people to add into their current wardrobe. So there is four main themed fashion trends this spring which are biker clothing, punk fashion, 70's glam, and 60's ladylike. So in these four categories you'll find different clothing trends such as sheer maxi dresses, lace, strips, tassels, bell bottoms, tail hems, wide leg, carpi pants, crop tops, jumpsuits and crochet and macrame. 

LACE is still in, but there are many different types of lace out there and you have to choose the right one. The stretch lace is NOT a good look any more personally I've never liked it because it reminded me of something very cheap looking. In this picture Olivia Palermo is wearing a gorgeous antiqued lace tired dress. Absolutely classy and lady like, but very modern...an outfit that I could see one on the gossip girls wearing!










TAIL HEMS: I'm loving this trend and I'm so happy it's in this season. Tail hems basically mean that the front is shorter while the back is longer. This goes for skirts to dresses to shirts! If you are average height and taller you cant go wrong with this silhouette. For woman who are a little bit shorter I think you should try a tail hem skirt and add a high heel. The front of the skirt being shorter combined with a high heel is going to give the appearance of longer legs.                             
STRIPS this spring is all about the classic blue and white. The main way to wear strips is to make it the main focus. You want your shoes to be understated, but don't think that you cant wear your military boats. Although it will look heavy at the bottom make the boats a neutral color. I think this striped sailor inspired look will go great with your bell bottom jeans since those are coming back in style for 2011.



CAPRI pants are something that not everybody can pull off because if your shorter it may not look capri, but maybe more like floods. So if you can pull off a capri, look for a slim cut style that's not overly tight. You can make this a lady like look by wearing a kitten heel and a chiffon bow neck top or you can make it look punk or biker by wear leather capri's, a tail hem shirt with boats!

Bright Eye Catching Colors: Spring & Summer Trends 2011

Every spring and summer bright colors are always in trend but I find this season nothings off limits. Your going to find a lot of retail stores displaying blues, neon's, tangerine, and a collaboration of rainbow colors. Don't forget one of the most popular shades on the runway was WHITE! Here's a few examples of what you'll be seeing for this season!

To tone down the tangerine use a contrasting rich color like turquoise, pink, and a fabulous gold!   
 To pull off this look you may want to try wearing jewel tones with another bold color. You can also break it up with some black or contrasting shades of one color. Basically, you want to break all the rules that you've learn from the color wheel!

Ocean blues were gracing the runway in silks and satins. If you feel like you need to break it up just use a nice glossy black belt or some black pumps. This is such a great color to bring into the work environment and if you are a trendy female I would add some accents of coral to step up the look.

2010 Fall Trend Report

FALL & WINTER 2010 FASHION TRENDS!

So it's fashion week and the catwalk was blessed with so many trends from many amazing designers.  So I'm going to break it down for you guys and let me know what trends you are loving and also what you want me to cover in my next post. Contact me via twitter: Legz25

Sexy Turtlenecks:
Yes I know! What's so sexy about a turtleneck? Well I say everything is sexy when it comes to turtlenecks and it's all in the way you wear it! Try so layer and play with different silhouettes, add some color, pattern, and texture. Once you do that, you'll take and simple staple and make it a fashionable piece in your closet.


Military:
The military trend is getting more buzz day by day.  Everybody is loving this trend from nice tailored blazers to strong trendy boots. Once the hottest stars like Beyounce, Megan Fox, and Rihanna spot this trend...why wouldn't you?

Patchwork: You have to be a creative, artsy, fashionista to pull this trend off. So with that being said I LOVE IT! Please limit the accessories that you wear because you can easily over do this look. There's so many ways one person can stand out and I believe that this is a great way to do it.
Poncho:
The poncho is something that you may have to try on more then once to find your perfect match. I love ponchos because it's purpose is to keep you warm, but you also look stylish.  With the styles that 2010 brings you can also look very edgy!
Wide Leg Trousers:
There was ,any different types of looks for the wide leg trousers.  Some where toned down colors while other were more out there.  I suggest that you pick what works with your personality and with your current wardrobe.

TAKERS: Movie of The Year!


This movie is a great summer movie to go out with your girls, dudes, boyfriend/girlfriend, family...whoever! It was a great movie and it should be #1 at the box office knowing that it sold out in most cities.  If you don't mind the occasional screaming 15 year old girls behind, in front, AND beside you over Chris Brown then make sure you go check out TAKERS!




Kerri Hilson looked amazing at the movie premier of Takers. Wearing a great black puff sleeve black jacket that accentuates her waist and sexy cream shorts to match her nude pumps! An easy look to recreate!

JUMPSITS, PLAYSUITS & ROMPERS....OH MY!!!


Don't you remember that little movie called, The Sound of Music? I do, and as a child my favorite part was when she made the children play clothes to run around in. She made some dresses, she made some shorts, but she also made some playsuits/rompers! The way the runway has been looking for spring/summer 2010 any length is right on trend with jumpsuits. We all know mini hot shorts are in then there are the mid-calf length, and then there's the full length style that goes up to your ankles.

Professional: I love the tailored jumpsuits that are out right now because you can go to work with it and add a boyfriend blazer on top with a pointed close toe matte leather heel. When work is done take off the blazer, add chunky bangles, put on gladiator style heals, and meet your girls for some cocktails!
Casual: I've been wearing the more loose, flowing, and relaxed type of playsuits and rompers because they are amazing for the summer! Nice breathable cotton is the way to go for this wonderful weather we've been receiving. Wear it with sandals or a wedge an
d they'll still look fresh.

Night time & Day time examples:

BOYFRIEND BLAZERS!! IT'S STILL IN!!!




The boyfriend blazer trend has been in since 2008, but it didn't pick up as much as the boyfriend shirt and jeans did. This is why it is still going strong for 2010! There's not much to say about the boyfriend blazer it gives your outfits a level of sophistication with style. Also, it can be worn with anything and everything so the versatility is definitely there. For myself, working in a store that's all about basic pieces there's only two rules when wearing your boyfriend blazers!

#1: ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES!!

This is a big rule for me because most of the time I don't like to see the sleeves not rolled. The story is that you "took" your boyfriends blazer and now your wearing it and if that was true wouldn't the sleeves be too long for you? Yes it would, so that's one reason why we roll up the sleeves. Another very important reason is because we want to show a little wrist/arm action to give this masculine trend a more feminine look!

#2: MAKE IT OVERSIZED!!
The tip here is to get a blazer that's one size bigger then what you normally buy. Since you "took" the blazer from your boyfriend it needs to be bigger to play into the story, but you must not get lost into the blazer! You wear the blazer don't let it wear you!

WHAT CELEBRITIES ARE WEARING IT...

PRINTED PANTS ARE IN

Print is in ladies...printed pants that is! This style trend has graced the runways of almost every designer. If you want stripes, graphic, floral, bold, or soft colors this 2010 trend will give that fashionista the fashion forward look she wants. Some designers are making the pants skinny while others are making them relaxed like the Harem pant. Whatever style you like the choice is yours, all you need to know is how to wear this trend!

Tip #1: YES!! You can wear pattern on pattern just make sure that if the pant is a bold print you need to wear a printed top on the softer side so it gives your outfit an accidental charm. If not, ultimately you'll look like a crazy hot mess!

Tip #2: EMBRACES YOUR CURVES!! If you are bottom heavy don't go with the skinny pant style. It would be best if you went with the relaxed harem pant look with some sexy heels. This will help to hide some of the booty and highlight those sexy legs!

Tip #3: SOPHISTICATION!! If your looking for that elegant, but trendy look wear the relaxed cut with a over-sized silk top giving the tucked in and tucked out feel. Drape the top off the shoulder and put on a sleek pair of heels!
