Plus Top Ten Fashion Trends That Defy The Hands Of Time !

 

 By Sharon Stajda,

What's On The Runways For Fall/Winter 2008 - Classy And Sexy !

With fall and winter coming, perhaps your wardrobe needs a bit of updating? Well, here are a few 2008 fall and winter fashion trends that you may want to consider purchasing.

 

Sexy and classy are the features to look for when buying cloths for this fall and winter...

Its so nice to see the dress make such a huge comeback this year!
For fall and winter the waist has returned! Whether on a belted swing coat, a curvy dress or pencil skirt, the emphasis is on the waist. The fitted shift style dress provides a much-needed antidote to all the trapeze shapes of this past summer. The seriously girlie frock could be on its way out?  The dress for fall is sexier and edgier -- but not skin tight -- so dresses will remain comfortable.

This  Fall  tailored jackets and wide leged pants work for the office...  

 

Do You Know The Top Ten Trends That Defy Fashion Year After Year?

Top 10 Fashions That Defy Decades ...

The Little Black Dress

Cashmere Shawl

Diamond Studs

Trench Coat

Pumps

Bootcu Jeans

Tote Bags

Turtlenecks

 Tailored Trouser pants

sheath dress

The Colors that are in this fall and winter will be all the fab jewel tones... Plus loads of grey, and black. As Always Black holds its place as number one fall and winter color choice...

Pulse On Fashion... 

With all the great new fashion trends for this fall and winter - do you have a must have. Is it a great new statement coat or a fab new frame purse, how about new boots? So many new fashion trends, if you had to buy just one new statement piece, what would you add to your wardrobe?

Fashion Pic's - Just a few big fashion Trends for Fall and Winter 2007

Jeans are fitted, from hip on down...

Lets Talk Color ! 

The Colors that are in this fall and winter will be all the fab jewel tones... Plus loads of grey, and black as always holds its place as a front runner on the runways.

Here is just a taste of some wonderful rich colors you will see this season - sapphire blue, claret red, maroon, deep gold's, and rusts, chocolate brown, eggplant...

I more Comfortable Jean ! 

Jeans, Jeans and more Jeans... It appears that most popular designers are betting that woman want a jean with a bit higher waist, and closer fit at the leg. Such as the straight leg, boot cut, and the skinny jean. Madonna has started the new higher waist jean in England, and this trend is quickly making its way across the pond... It might be nice to not have to worry about the dreaded muffin top?

Photo: "Ralph Lauren" Straight leg, high waist black jean.

This Fall and Winter your coat should make a Statement ! 

Statement Coats
You will be lost without one this season! Whether it's a patchwork of different materials, a unique shape, or an interesting gleam on the surface, you don't want your coat to be basic. New details include cocoon backs, hoods, very wide arms, a belted waist, big collar, and rounded shoulders. Don't be caught this winter without a great statement coat!

Tally Ho! The flat riding boots are so big this season,,, 

Hurray for flats! I have to say, as a girl who spends most days rushing around , I am really appreciating the recent trends of heel-less shoes. After spending all summer in feet-friendly ballet flats, I am very much looking forward to getting myself a pair of what will be one of this fall's hottest looks: the low-heel riding boot. These boots are a sight for sore eyes. Not that I don't love my high heels boots, but as much as pointy, spike stiletto pumps scream style - and will continue to be very much in style this fall, the forgivingly round-toed boots scream something even better - comfort ! They don't look half bad either. This particular shoe fashion looks great with a short little dress or over some tucked in skinny jeans.

What In In High Heels -- The Pump Is Back In A Big Way! 

The pump is so in this season. They are being worn not only with dresses,skirts, but skinny jeans.
A pair of pumps is a must for this fall...

Dresses Are The Big This Season... Its About Time ! 

Dresses have become a very big come back... Wonderful dresses have made their way back into the lime light, and are so fashion trendy this season...

Dresses are back! Its so nice to be able to play dress up.

Dresses have come back in a big way this year. Hemlines are up and down, dress lines are easy on the figure, and styled to enhance the curves.

Most dresses are styled to fall just above the knees. This is a flattering length on most woman, and a comfortable length for most occations.

The shirt dress,seems to be one of the design styles that stays around forever. I love this classic style. It can be worn for fun or business. So functional...And shows off the waist...

The new shirt dress, is styled to fall just above the knee or shorter, as a rule is belted with matching belt. But a girl can easily add her own choice of belt, make your own statement, so to say.

Delicate Blouses Sexy and Cute 

As with all the new fashion trends for fall and winter, blouses are showing their soft feminine side. They are being fashioned from great soft materials.

Off the shoulder, sexy and comfortable

Ruffles and bows, the feminine styles are so in this season, its hard not to love ruffles and bows...

Ruffled silk blouse, with lace at V neckline, belted with ribbon at the waist, to end up mid hip.

The classic tailored fitted mans shirt with long sleeves, belted with a great belt.

The key is to keep them girlie, and feminine. So cute with skinny jeans...

Bobbles and Bangles, Big Bold And Beautiful... Oh and Gothic Too... 

What's up in Jewelry?

Bold cuff bracelets is one of the hottest trends in jewelry for this season. Chunky with great gemstones and enamel makes the scene in such a big way. Cocktail rings are running a very close second as must-haves -- for the season. You will find them being worn for dress-up as well as funky sports dress down.

Bangles Bangles and more Bangles! Bangles bracelets are becoming increasingly popular. Make sure when you buy -- make them jeweled metal bangles so you can really sparkle. Designed for evening dresses and day-to-day wear.

The biggest new trend, PENDANTS. You will see medallions, heart-shapes, double-sided designs, caged designs, coins and monogrammed... The bigger the better. Designers are using loads of sparkle, in the way of crystal, along with loads of other gemstones. Many with great old gothic design.

Patterned Tights and hose... A must have this fall 

Patterned Tights and hose... They add so much texture to an outfit.

Hot HandBags -- What's in For Fall and Winter 2007 For All You Bag Ladies 

This fall seasons will bring us handbags that boast of new shapes, color and texture... Your toughest task will be to narrow it down to a favorite.

The most fashionable girl will start her wardrobe off with a clutch - the clutch is back in a big way,for day or night. Another flashback - the crossbody strape, that was so popular in the 80s. Well its back too.

The shopper tote keeps it place in fashion must haves, it seems you can't go wrong with a shopper.This season the shopper is being offered in rich colors, as well as rich fabrics. They are oh so special...

The classic satchel will work easy with all the new fall fashions, and is always a good choice.

Patent leather is so popular this season, so why not add a bag of patent to your collection?

Last but not least , the frame bag - its actually one of the big trends this season.

The Perfect Hairstyle - Tips Plus Pictures To Help You Find A Style That Will Flatter Your Facial Shape...
Today's woman is very fortunate. We live in a time when no one hairstyle is considered the fashion of the day. Hairdos today run the gamut of possibility. The do's that fill our magazine pages, and the rules that once ran our thinking about hair have become increasingly passe. We no longer consider it an unshakable truth that a face to be beautiful must be oval, and that all hairstyles should try to create that effect...

Love the lens darling! You know a big trend that I've seen coming up for Fall 2008 is Fur and as great as it looks, I can never be an advocate for it. But I won't go as far as PETA did in boycotting it on the runway. That's too extreme for my taste.
My one new item for Fall/Winter will be a very trendy suit. As a guy, a trendy suit is a bold statement and I can wear it to a ton of parties. It can be my signature look for the season.
