Top 4 Fashion Trends for Fall 2009
By Harrison Fray
The temperatures are beginning to drop and everybody knows that it’s time for new style trends. You may have seen runway shows, celebs being interviewed or photographed by paparazzi time and time again, but it’s quite obvious that both models and celebs are dotting with the latest styles according to season.
So what is “in” for the Fall of 2009?
Well, for starters you might have a flashback when you’ll find the come-backs of some of the past decades’ style trends. But of course, they’ve been upgraded to fit the 21st century’s fashion sense.
The Sculpted shoulders
The 80’s shoulder pad days are back. Resurrected for the fall of 2009 are jackets and tops with padded, and sometimes pointy, shoulders. The trend was initiated by Balmain which is a high-end brand worn by posh celebrities with the likes of Victoria “posh spice” Beckham. Squared-off jackets as well as t-shirts with shoulder pads would soon follow this trend.
Beyonce Knowles was seen wearing a black sequined military jacket with shoulder pads which is another addition to the trend.
1. Funky tights
Printed tights are in right now and these are very inexpensive additions to your growing wardrobe. If you want to put some fun into your boring mini skirt and top ensemble, a patterned pair of tights can bring some life to it.
You can also pair these tights with mini dresses that have above-the-knee lengths. But try not to overwhelm the ensemble by wearing funky or overly-printed tops. Try to balance things out by pairing with plain or one-colored tops.
2. Front-pleated pants
These pants are made for walking… not just the runway, but anywhere. These trousers are reminiscent of the harem styles, but these are cropped and pleated at the front. You can pair these with tucked-in tops to better show-off your entire physique.
If you remember in the previous decades, trousers like these have also existed, however they were longer like your usual pant suits or slacks. These are better worn on casual dates or out-of-towns. They’re also great if you wish a comfy day at work and you can pair them with knitted sweater or a casual top and opened jacket
3. Winter shorts
Now why would anyone wear shorts during the winter? Why not?
Since tights have been around and still showing signs of permanence, why not pair them with shorts that are made especially for the cold weather. Thick tights can help you keep your legs warm, so winter shorts can be cool and hip to wear. Make sure your shorts are dark-colored and made of thick fabrics [i.e. wool] to keep you from the cold.
4. Chunky chokers
You may have seen Louis Vuitton runway models and celebs wearing these chunky chokers everywhere. Many are expecting that this accessory will make waves during this season. Whether you’re wearing t-shirt and jeans, or a chic and sassy dress for an evening date, these chokers can add class to your current wardrobe.
Fall is here and it’s time to liven up your wardrobe with something new. You don’t need too much money when you’re scouting for these top 5 trends for this year’s fall season. Check the nearest mall or online store for sales and good deals so you won’t break your wallet while shopping for the fall.
