Fashion Trends for 2009

Men
A folk look is a trademark men`s trend for fashion in 2009. Men can`t go wrong with a simple checked shirt, in a red or blue tartan, for example. This can be teamed with loose patterned scarves, even in the winter. Whilst 2008 was the year of the skinny jean, a modern take on this look is the slightly baggier jean which men can wear- rolling jeans up a few times at the bottom loosely allow men to wear skinnier jeans but without being nipped in at the ankles. Teamed with boater shoes this is set to be a classic for summer 09.

For the winter, a smooth reflection is definitely in. This can be done by wearing pleather, or leather; shiny black silk or latex materials have adorned catwalk models and can look smart if worn as part of a suit jacket such as on the cuffs or a shiny black tie. And for men who want to look smart, black is definitely the colour of the season. Also this winter, in a change from the classic pump shoe, late winter 2009 will see the rise in the classic men`s boot- for a look that demands respect and evokes the military look that is also becoming popular for 2009 and has made an appearance on many a designer catwalk. However instead of Adam Ant, think more 60s, with bigger buckles, and gold stitching

Women

2009 is definitely the year where the power suits and animal print tops of the 80s have made a comeback. But 80s trend doesn`t have to mean 80s hair or shoulder pads for everyone- in fact teaming an oversized colourful top with leggings or skinny jeans can give an 80s look a decidedly 2009 feel. Oranges, greys, bright pinks and neon colours are a definite must, but you don`t have to be loud to be on trend. Even teaming a neon bracelet or necklace with your normal work wear or jeans and a large tshirt will give you an instant on trend look. For the summer, combining fashionable leggings with the classic gladiator sandal, brings in another popular 2009 look, the `gladiator` or `gypsy` feel.

Winter in this country is never far away and so it doesn`t hurt to be prepared, and the modern 2009 winter catwalks are reflecting this feel. Neutral tones in colour, such as classic nudes or beige, reflect the cold air, and can be teamed with sparkling clear accessories such as diamante bracelets or crystal beads or embellishments. Another trend for the winter also evokes the magical, Norwegian forest style imagery - reminiscent of winters in log cabins by the fire. Think animal feathers, fake fur, and gypsy skirts. However when layering up for warmth it can be hard to demonstrate flair- but cheap designer handbags, with feathers or sparkling fake diamonds or beads on it, can instantly bring life and modernity to a 2009 outfit.
