The Relaxed and The Bold: Woman's Fashion Trends For Spring / Summer 2010

I must say, next year's fashion trends are interesting.

We have, of course, the torn denim and patched denim trends. This
seems to be getting more pronounced with the rips growing somewhat
larger this upcoming season. Actually, the rips could be patternized
versus being random in order to create some cool looks!

Then we have the knee-high socks trend. This one is really cool with a
mini skirt. Some people are even layering the socks to create an
interesting look. We have below-the-knee socks, thigh-high socks and
more to choose from. This trend could be used to really make some
great looks.

Boyfriend blazers are in for next year. I guess you wear them in a
slightly larger size. Another interesting trend that could make for
some flowing results.

Now, for what is perhaps the boldest trend of all, we have the modern
warrior trend. It's a modern spin on an old vibe as we see this fierce
trend stylized by the warlords and warriors from the ancient world. We
find tunics, war paint, metal plateing, tribal symbolism, and more,
all at today's warrior's disposal. Taking the ancient and modernizing
it can result in some spectacular things and this trend is the perfect
place to do just that. Be fierce. Be creative. Wear with confidence.

And these are just a few of the trends coming to us next year.

Winter Wear for Guys

Winter is here! Some of you may have snow and some of you may never get snow. :) But it still is a colder season for all of us.

The trick this season is layers. Now whenever you're layering, warm colors go in the front and cool colors go in the back; this creates dimension and also draws attention to your face. For example, grey in front, white in back. But you can do things the opposite way, e.g. white on black, and still get some slick results.

Now as a guy, my favorite thing to wear underneath any shirt is latex under armor. The stuff is amazing! You can even pair it with a button-down and create a cool look.

Button-downs would have to be my personal favorite when it comes to shirts. Now that it's colder, we'll be pushing back our tees in favore of our long sleeved shirts. This is a great time for updating your button-downs. As always, a white one is the greatest thing a guy could have in his wardrobe, but graphical shirts seem to be all the rage these days, especially with the teen demographic. Of course, there's a time to go all graphical and a time to go formal, but they make for great casual wear if you're into flashing some style. Button-downs are also immensely flexible. You can leave them untucked, roll up the sleeves, leave the buttons undone, and so on.

And what you're wearing underneath is nearly just as important as what you're wearing on top. As I mentioned earlier, latex is a comfortable choice, but we also have crew cut tees and other things to wear. Go for a look where all layers compliment each other.

And we can't forget about henleys and regular long-sleeve shirts--just choose your style and roll!

When it comes to lightweight outerwear, we could go with just plain sweaters, or opt for pullovers and hoodies. Again, choose colors and styles that compliment each other. Pullovers are great since you can wear them like a sweater and flash whatever it is you're wearing underneath.

Happy winter!

Bold styles

You'll be strolling the sidewalk or just watching a movie or something and you see this really bold fashion style, like spiky purple hair paired with a loud jacket and mini-skirt. Or on a guy, green hair or something that you just don't see everyone wearing. Personally, it's not my style to wear bold and exotic clothing, although I can be seen every once in awhile wearing a really bright shirt, usually just for the pleasure of blinding people.

These styles are the cutting edge of fashion. Pop stars like Lady Gaga are especially into this stuff. However, I don't see very many people dressing in a bold manner when they're just going about casual activities, but I don't live in the most style-ish area so things aren't likeley to come my way first. What I'm interested in is what styles will live into tomorrow, maybe even to become the next mainstream trend.
Should we pursue this modernism? Could something come out of this? Or should it just be left where it's at right now?

I guess time will tell.
