Fashion is fluid and ebbs and flows as regularly as the seasons. The fall 2010 fashion trends are about a classic, sophisticated look. For women, this means buttoning up and showing subtle sex appeal with sheer fabrics. For men, the classic serviceman look is key. As fallen economies are on the road to recovery, get ready for looks that celebrate the modest, romantic and historical period of World War II in the 1940s. Covering up doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing sensuality or sex appeal; it merely redefines it. Structured, sophisticated looks are softened by sexy lace and see-through materials.
Ladies, don’t be afraid to button up this fall—all the way up! While exposed cleavage was the way to go in years past, this fall, blouses should be buttoned to the top. Whether it is a traditional and professional white blouse or a more feminine lacy blouse, you can pair your tailored shirt with a structured, buttoned jacket and a pair of tweed shorts that fall to the knee. You can add trendy and sexy to your wardrobe using see-through fabric this year for the added feminine touch.
Although men’s fashion traditionally evolves more slowly than women’s fashion, the fall 2010 fashion trends for men do bring a new look for gentlemen. This fall, men can be sure to impress by adopting a classic military style with a sophisticated spin. Men can look dapper with a traditional military overcoat in a neutral tone. Single or double-breasted coats will do, but make sure the bling is in the brass buttons. Vintage coats can be tailored for that structured look. Paired with a button-down shirt in a subdued tone, overcoats project a strong look for men. Trousers and jeans are best left understated in darker colors. Functional meets modern is the standard look for men this fall.
Trends for men and women in fall 2010 fashion are more reflective of a romantically civilized society with a modern edge. For women this message may translate into celebrating classic femininity of with an edge of sex appeal using lacy details. Men can enjoy the strong, chivalrous look of vintage military times while showing expression through details of structure and button embellishment. Accessorizing your classic look can further enhance individual style. Have fun with the styles and stay tuned for more.
