Fall is here and winter is just around the corner, so it’s time to consider whether your wardrobe needs updating. This article looks at some of the key fashion trends for fall/winter 2010/2011.
Skinny leg pants and leggings
Narrow leg pants are still very much the “it” leg style. You will find lots of skinny leg and cigarette style pants in fabrics like suede, denim, cord, wool flannel and stretch cotton. For the ultimate in comfort, leggings are a great option. They are now available in a wide array of options from jeggings styles that look like jeans, multiple colors and prints, right through to styles that feature decorative touches like lace panels down the side. Ski pants or stirrup bottom leggings are also making a comeback.

Heavy metal inspired looksMetal components are being integrated into many different fashion looks. You will find hardware related items like; studs, eyelets, metal bars and chunky decorative zips on everything from belts to bags, tops and denim creations. Several styles look to take their inspiration from chain mail.
Boyfriend style jackets and cardigans
The menswear inspired boyfriend style jacket or cardigan is back with a vengeance. It’s comfy, slouchy fit is the perfect partner to leggings and skinny leg pants. They look good worn with a skinny belt or two. Or you could try partnering them with a feminine dress from your summer wardrobe and extend its life. If you have a full tummy they look great worn alone, because they don’t cling to the waist and highlight this area.
Clothing with mixed fabric combinations
Lots of designers are using contrasting fabrics in their designs. For example, jersey fabric combined with denim, leather with wool shearling, and sheer chiffon with wool.
Wedge or platform heels
Whether it be a pair of boots, pumps, or loafers, a platform or wedge heel is the way to go if you want to be on trend. The great thing about these styles is that they tend to be much easier to walk in than stiletto heels. However, make sure you only choose a height you feel confident walking in.
Printed hosiery
Last winter there was a real creative explosion in legwear styles. This season stockings, knee highs and stay ups are just as creative. You will find a wide variety of different prints available. Some distinct offerings include; bandage style prints, mixed prints that change part way up the legs (like Missoni Knit mix tights), sheer styles with tattoo like prints, and vintage inspired styles with back seams.
Fur pieces
Fur pieces are popping up all around the place in both accessories and garments. You’ll find both genuine and faux styles available, depending on your beliefs. Popular accessory styles include; hats, neckpieces and even headbands. Popular clothing items include; jackets and vests.
