Men’s Fall Fashion Trends 2010

Men’s Fall Fashion Trends 2010

Now is the perfect opportunity for you to upgrade you wardrobe for the fall and winter months of the year. Designers have proven that current men's fashion is all about a polished look that will make you stand out from the crowd. Luxurious blazers, utility boots and relaxed cardigans are just a few items on the list of must-haves for the current season. If you are interested in the latest fashion for fall 2010 -- we have a sampling of the dominant trends just for you.

Admittedly, we really dig the whole theme of rugged refinement embodied in apparel this season. From the runway to retail stores around the world -- traces of rugged inspiration come to life, via the textiles and designs observed in ready-to-wear fashion for men.

Velvet blazers & jackets

A fall essential for men in 2010, a velvet jacket or blazer can infuse your wardrobe with the perfect amount of panache. For a well-dressed look, complement a velvet jacket by adding a simple distressed scarf to your ensemble. If pairing an accessory with your velvet feels a tad too contrived -- check out one of our favorite ways to wear velvet. Worn with jeans, this luxurious navy blazer by D&G looks incredible. When you sport the blazer during the cool months of autumn, the notched lapels and two-button front will have all eyes on you wherever you go. Neiman Marcus, $775.

Cardigans galore

One huge menswear trend this season is the cardigan -- a versatile fashion piece being spotted everywhere. Heavyweight or light -- anything goes. Examples of cardigan styles that are available -- belted, zip, shawl collar, hooded. We know -- cardigan -- the word alone often conjures memories of unsightly sweaters your Mom used to force you to wear as a child. But today -- many designers are creating updated versions of the classic cardigan, in comfortable fabrics you will love. We assure you. The ladies will too. A top cardigan selection for the season is the BOSS Orange 'Wait' Waffle Knit Cardigan available at Nordstrom, $195.

Utility boots

One significant trend that looks smart on almost any man -- the utility boot. If you opt to rock this look during the fall or winter months ahead -- personalize it by selecting footwear that suits your sense of style. Designer labels like Gucci, D&G and Ralph Lauren are offering innovative versions of the utility boot. The sole requirement for wearing this look? It must be a rich leather. In fact, leather utility boots should only get better with age. Two of our favorite styles are by John Varvatos -- a line of footwear featuring quality craftsmanship and impeccable lines. The Star USA Ericksen Work Boot and the Ago Side Zip are sophisticated utility designs worthy of a closer look.

Plaids & checks

Although plaid and check patterns never completely faded from existence -- they are officially back this season with a vengeance. These patterns adorn cufflinks, neckties, sweaters, computer cases and much more. When worn in moderation, articles of clothing with plaids or checks can provide a great look for any man about town. The Quiksilver 'Trolley' Plaid Flannel Shirt is highlighted by button-flap pockets with an updated appeal. Nordstrom, $49.50.

Utility pants

Think work pants with a touch of edgy appeal. Featuring worn-in styles of pants cut from corduroy, twill and wool fabrics. Available in rich hues of charcoal, brown, green and tan -- utility pants hold a strong presence in retail stores everywhere. One frontrunner in this area -- the Levi's® 'Demitasse' Work Pants. Subtle elements of distressing are present within the cotton fabric, providing that comfy worn look we adore. Reasonably priced these utility pants are a definite winner. Nordstrom, $78.00.

Cute 10-Year-Old Fashion Designer : Cecilia Cassini


While other little girls were watching cartoons, or playing with Barbie dolls, Cecilia Cassini was reading fashion magazines and learning how to sew. Now, at 10 years of age, she’s already an established fashion designer for kids.

Cecilia Cassini, from Encino, California, began her career as fashion designer, when she was just 5 years old. She cut up her sister’s Betsy Johnson dress, when no one was looking, and adjusted it to her own design. For her 6th birthday, she received a sewing machine and began taking sewing lessons. At 7 years old, she wrote a letter to her favorite fashion designer, Coco Channel, for school, and designed her own logo, at 8.

It’s safe to say Cecilia was very creative, from an early age, but she got her big break last year, when her mother mentioned to a store owner that her daughter made dresses. During a trunk show, the fifth-grader sold 50 pieces. Things started happening, from there, and now Miss Cassini has her own manager, no other than Pilar DeMann, the woman behind the Kardashians’ rise to power.

Cecilia Cassini and her fashion creations are becoming more and more popular, with each passing day, and she’s even opened up a cool-looking website, where people can check out and order her works. Another super-kid that’s going places, fast.

Women's Dress Fashion for Spring and Summer 2010

In all times women loved dresses. And even now super-modern ladies still want to look feminine and wear nice gowns and frocks that flatter their figures. However, fashion changes and from time to time new styles appear while others vanish as we lose interest in them.

Short bandage dress:These short dresses have been presented in many collections by famous designers, such as Rodarte, Herve Leger, Thakoon, Givenchy and others.

And they surely deserve our attention as they look stylish and womanly despite the fact Narciso Rodriguez confessed his inspiration for the creation of such dresses were chains and lashes – as a result aggressiveness turned into femininity.

Little black dress. It is classic and chic and women, generation after generation, tend to own at least one perfect LBD in their wardrobe. Such dress always works well. All you need to do is to find accessories to suit the style and occasion.


Strapless dress. This type of dresses are perfect for special events and red carpets. They look sophisticated and show the beauty of woman’s neck and decolette. Wearing a strapless gown even the most ordinary girl will attract atttention.

One-shoulder dress. This style has been with us for a few seasons already and is still very popular both with designers and customers. Single-shoulder gowns are often chosen to grace on the red carpet and there are dresses which suit everyday situations, too.

Light dress. As a great contrast to leather dresses come light and uber-feminine ones. This type of frocks is perfect for walking outdoors and enjoying the warm sun. They look pretty and you will hardly feel hot in them.
