This season's fashion for women is something to get excited about. It's bringing back some goodies and adding some very modern and funky twists to them.1. Retro:The 1960's-70's American suburbian look is all the rage and there's no better place to find inspiration then watching ABC's hit show Mad Men. From flower prints, to flared skirts these looks accentuate a tiny waist, full hips, and big breasts. Designers around the world are celebrating womens curves. Prom dresses should be paired with feminine accessories like elbow-length gloves.2. For the Outdoors:Autumn is here which means it's time to bundle up in a new coat, big sweaters, and possibly some platform, lace-up boots. This season shearling is back and can be found lining coats, hoods, boots and bags.3. Equestrian chic:A predominant mode for AW 10-11, this look includes browns, tweeds, curduroy, plaid, and mohair. For an affordable version visit Zara.4. Chic in Black:There has yet to be a year when black is not in style. A few seasons ago the Audrey Hepburn look - cigarette pants and flat loafers- came back and it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. For a more feminine flair, pair with heels or a blousy top.5. Schoolgirl:For those of us who long for our schoolgirl days, the wait is finally over. Kilts, sweaters, and capes are back. While the sun still shines you can wear your kilt bare legged with loafers. Pair with tights and heeled boots for a warmer, Liv Tyler, Empire Records version of the style.6. Wollen Skirts:Remember the ones you used to wear as a little girl? Well it's time to bring them back out of your closet (if you're lucky/clever enough to have held onto to them). It's a great item to wear to a casual Christmas party, to work on a winter's day, or maybe out ice skating. Perfectly matched with blushed cheeks.7. Over the knee socks:Tall Vivienne Ward boots were all the rage last year and now tall socks have taken their place. But not just any tall socks, woollen, and detailed ones specifically.8. Boots:I cannot stress the importance of high, lace-up platform boots enough for complete AW 10 look . They are this season's hottest boot and can be worn with everything from skinny jeans to flirty dresses. And for the best comeback of all- 8-hole Doc Martin's. Slowly and surely people have been revisiting this trend and buying popular colours such as brown and maroon. A similar style is the beat up construction boot, which All Saints are doing really well this year.9. African Textiles:The truth is these never go out of style. There's nothing that says boho better then a unqiue and colourful kikoy that can be wrapped around your neck or slung over your shoulder and used as a bag.Follow these trends and you will be stylish beyond belief for AW 2010. Happy shopping!
