Today’s economy has led to more subdued and subtle aesthetics; pairing of low and high-end pieces; and vintage fashions. The eco fashion movement is gaining popularity as well, with people looking to be more self-sustainable. People are spending less on their clothing, digging into their closets for pieces they can incorporate with new items, and purchasing practical items
with more fashion longevity.

Leather|
Leather saturated the runways for Fall 2009 and continues this Winter.
Go all out with leather jackets, tight leather trousers and long leather
gloves, or just accessorize your wardrobe with a touch of leather.
Skirts|
The skirt has been off the radar for a few seasons, but its back in a big way
for Winter and you will see it emerge again in Spring/Summer. Women
are wearing either short skirts or a high waist pencil skirt with a sleek,
simple shirt or blouse. A short skirt with a pair of patterned Spanx tights
and platform booties is a fashionable look.
Thigh-High Boots|
You may associate thigh-high boots with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman,
but there is a classy way to wear this trend. The boots look great with
tunics, dresses, or with your favorite skinny jean. When wearing with
dresses or tunics, be sure to pair them with tights or leggings that match the boot, this will make your leg look longer and thinner. Don’t splurge too much on these, as it likely won’t extend past this season. Use these women’s and men’s fashion trends to create your own unique style for 2010, and have fun with fashion!
