Looking at 2010 Trends In Colors and Patterns
As we enter the last quarter of the year 2010, let us take a look at this year’s fashion colors, print and patterns. Usually, what is fashionable for a certain period somehow reflects the social and financial scene as the choices of people can be affected by their purchasing power and their values. 2010 serves as the aftermath of the financial global crisis, shaking up the fashion world that may still be felt as of writing. The catwalk shows features a new standard of fashion emerging. The latest trends for women clothing retraces the styles of bygone days showing a tinge of sex, skin colors and various additions completed by attitude and a sense of style.
The Spring/Sumer 2010 used the unique blend of soft and delicate designs with the athletic or sporty look. Without a doubt, the rich yesteryears can still be felt but embellished and given a modern twist. The colors for this particular period are neutral shades, sober colors and other shades like pinks, blues, browns and the jack-in-the box for this collection, a surprising neon green. An important observation in the fashion trends 2010 for women is the use of heavy prints and patterns as well as earthly shades paired with bold and out of this world designs. The odd combination of a neutral attire and then matched with bright colored pumps and jewelries perfectly breaks what would seemingly be dull. It is an uncommon pairing, which make the collection very unique. You can buy a beautiful dress in big floral prints with a mix of other prints distributed all over. You can then match it with a patterned handbag and stockings with the final piece, a hooped jewelry. This would have been odd previously if not for the eclectic preferences of many people nowadays.
We saw the last decade with the fashion scene raided by tight or skinny jeans. For this year, women will be treated with loose pants for a much more comfortable wear. Baggy jeans are in and would look perfect if matched with a loose tunic or kurti. The strong woman is also featured with the sporting look for women becoming a popular choice. This is why there are now various designer jogging pants and very stylish sweat pants. The message is clear, comfort is in and valued more than any aesthetic addition.
The pair of shorts for hot ladies is emerging in vibrant and loud colors. In fact, colorful chunk jewelry and other accessories are finding their way into many women’s wardrobe along with those big eyeglasses. For those who prefer something else other than short shorts can get those sexy high dresses that are body hugging, showing those well toned torsos and skin. For 2101, we saw full skirts making their timely exits with bandaged skirts taking over the vacant wardrobe space. In truth, many designers believe that the bandage skirt should now be a primary wardrobe item that can be worn at work and during nights out with friends. This is paired with an equally fitted top to give that slender appearance with a waistline that is perfectly highlighted. Mini skirts in neutral shades are also fashionable but since when have they been not.
For 2010, there are some things that remain unchanged like a casual fitted tee with the perfect pair of denim jeans will always make any women look good. Denims will remain to be a wardrobe staple. The latest variety favors the torn jeans that are often paired with a simple white shirt. Business suits remain the same with its blazers and formal pants, but with emphasis on creating a masculine gender dress. This is why we see many women wearing long length blazers and matched with either shorts or leggings., adding some accessories like bangles and beads to add femininity to the look. The younger generation has been wearing knee length capris, to show off their toned calves. This is a simple look that looks very wholesome while being hot and cool at the same time.
