As you know, fashion is easily changeable and each season we see tens of new watch collections. This season designers really tried their best to create models that are catchy and far from boring. Do you know what’s hot in 2009? While, I found the main trends of the following. Let’s check out together.

First, the hot color for 2009 is rose gold. There are a number of watch companies released their timepieces in rose gold, even the total amount greatly exceed the last year. On the one hand, rose gold features solid character, even it is a nice color that features elegant appearance; on the other hand, it costs much less than Platinum. During the period of economic downturn, it is really a smart choice for quality and value. That is why rose gold watches are represented so widely in designers’ collections this season. Wrist watches by Patek Philippe and IWC are the classic rose gold items.

The second trend of this season is the emphasis of technology which is the most important in watch manufacture. Some brands even take the breakthrough in technology as the great milestone for development. The trend embodies in the concern of movement and high-tech material. Wrist watches with multifunction won people’s great admiration, while the appliance of technology greatly promote the veracity and stability.

The third top trend of this season is jewelry watches. They are created mostly to attract people’s attention by its beauty and luxury. They often hold a strong relationship with art. Watches with crystal accented case, bracelet or dial looks very charming. You can hardly find another watch so pretty and sophisticated as the masterpiece.

The last, not all the innovations are focused on the colour palette. Great attention is given to the style of the watch. Nowadays kinds of watches are recreated and appear as the style of vintage version. Since the effection of the economic recession, few customers would approve any bold creation of watches. While only the most classic items can guarantee the timeless value for collecting. These classic wrist watches always come with simple dial and plain color tone.

If there is something as key to always staying in fashion it is realizing the importance of fashion classics. Since fashionable clothes are constantly changing, each year, it becomes difficult to stay in style if you don’t have the wallet to buy a new wardrobe every year. However, there are a few staples for your wardrobe that will allow you to always look fashionable and change your look for each new season.

Fabrics: While some fabrics are nature made to be worn according to seasons, some others are very expensive. Yet, there still are some fabrics which go well for all the seasons, occasions, and are not very expensive and they are aptly named the classics. Denims are considered king of this category and never go out of style. Blue denim with a white shirt, irrespective of which era he or she belongs to, can add a huge plus to ones fashion quotient. There are similar options to choose from even for slightly formal occasions too. Rayons and Polyesters have never gone out of fashion and if chosen with right patterns colors and topped with right accessories, can surely make you stand out. At the same time, for party wear, chiffons still makes very good fashion sense, and one can be sure of gaining a lot of attention.

Colors: Choosing the right colors to go with the fabrics mentioned above is also very important to make you look fashionable. Spunky colors come in very handy for casual and semi formal dressing. Black and white colors whether worn in combination or individually always make a fashion statement for you and can go in with almost every season and occasion. Black is the best since it easily hides stains or wrinkles. A combination of black trouser/skirt and a light-colored blouse never fails to look classy. A pencil skirt and a dress pant, preferably in darker shades, is also a great foundation to build your travel closet. If you are carrying a pant suit then make sure that the trousers can be matched with another pair of extra jacket that you might carry. Make sure you carry extra blouses. You might also want to carry one of your little black dresses, in case there is invitation for a cocktail party. Similarly blue is immortalized by the denims and is a must have in ones wardrobe. For more casual occasions, you can also choose slightly bright, preferably natural colors, like green and yellow.

Patterns: Today’s fashion trends have a lot to offer, more than just the prints on your clothes, in terms of patterns. But all other aspects of designer shoulders, the well placed neck line, the back cut etc comes at a high premium. While keeping at the definition of classics here too, there are some key patterns one needs to have in her clothes to be able to wear it anytime, anywhere but still not look out of fashion. The plain colors with no pattern have been there in trend since centuries and it almost goes as a norm. Also not to be forgotten are the entire classic stripes, vertical or horizontal, with the combination of good colors. While for a slightly casual mood or a drink out with friends, the quintessential natural flower pattern or even the polka dots of yesteryear adds that much needed extra jazz to your fashion as well as life.

Welcome to Summer 2009 ladies! Finally my favorite season is here and in full effect. No more June Gloom! Soon it will be July and it’s all sunshine from there. I figured I would start out the season by going over some plus size fashion “must have” trends for your summer wardrobe.These “must have” fashion trends are for every occasion, not just your summer vacation. They are for your everyday activities including work, rest, and play.

The Maxi: Plus size Maxi Dresses are everywhere this season and are a huge fashion trend for summer 2009. If you still think are thinking that you cannot wear a Maxi Dress, think again. With all of the different styles and pattern variations you are sure to find a Plus Size Maxi Dress that is right for your figure. Maxi dresses are the plus size woman’s best friend and work to perfectly conceal some our minor figure flaws in the most figure-flattering way. Flirty, romantic, and stylish, these dresses can be worn for every occasion this summer, from shopping with the girls to a romantic summer night out on the town. Check out the Melody Maxi Dress available in black, purple, coral, and electric blue.

Ruffles: Feminine and flirty ruffles are a definite “must have” fashion trend this season. Look for soft, romantic style blouses and dresses with accents of single to layered ruffles. If not worn right, ruffles can be bad for a plus size person because they tend to emphasize parts of our body that we do not want to call attention to. Stick to ruffles that are small and follow the trim of the garment and they will actually work to elongate your body and give you a slimmer silhouette. Ruffle trim wrap dresses are gorgeous and a perfect “must have” this season. For the perfect ruffled top option check out the Nikki Checkered Plus Size Top available in white/black check or pink/black check.

Work Wear: As divas, we must always dress to impress and dress for success. To stay trendy and cool at work on these hot summer days, opt out on the typical 3-piece suit and go for something with a little less fabric. Vests are a “must have” this season and can coordinate with virtually anything. For work pair a vest with a classic white button up shirt and pencil skirt. If you must wear a blazer to work, look for styles with one-button waist closures and narrow lapels made of all-season fabrics like rayon tweeds and light blends. Stay away from the typical black this season and go for perhaps chocolate or khaki this season. Why not be daring and go for white? In the work wear department SWAKdesigns.com has got you covered. Check out the Alicia Plus Size Shirt Dress available in a variety of classic colors or their Classic Fit Trousers in black or tan/brown.

Trendy Active Wear: Anyone who thinks plus-sized women are inactive and do nothing but sit around on their butts all day is dead wrong and should join me and my plus-sized pals for a taste of BOOTCAMP. Working out is an everyday activity for plus-sized women in an effort to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Wearing comfy, yet attractive active wear helps boost your confidence and makes you feel good while exercising. Looking good, is feeling good. Be sure to choose your active wear wisely. Pick items that are made of breathable fabrics like cotton blends and are not too tight or bulky. Stylish tees, tanks, leggings or bike shorts are good combination’s for day to day workouts, but for pure comfort look into loosely cut plus size yoga wear in bright summer colors. For some super cute, trendy active wear styles check out the new Zen Yoga Wear Collection and the Aimee Plus Size Sweat Pants.

Fashion trends dictate that we wear whatever is in season otherwise we could be rudely stared at or whispered about in public, or worse, we can be cited as examples of what a fashion faux pas is. While to some extent we are compelled to follow the norms in fashion, it doesnt necessarily follow that we lose our own sense of style in the process.

Celebrities for instance, know that they are being judged by more than half the worlds population by what they wear on what occasion, and for this reason alone, they turn to famous designers to dress them up in the latest threads in fashion. However, you will also notice that most of them incorporate their own sense of style into these fashion trends, and they are quite successful at it, too.

The Latest Fashion Trends

Nevertheless, it gives you some sort of security and peace of mind even knowing that what you are wearing is within the agreeable style of fashion for a particular season. Perhaps there is something to be said about the false sense of security that this kind of approval provides.

But on the other hand, it is actually not so much as seeking approval as the current trend really IS appealing to the public. After all, fashion trends are there not only to dictate to us what to wear but more so to show us different comfortable styles that we can choose from if we fancy wearing them.

Fashion trends take a lot of factors into consideration such as the weather, season, comfort, and lifestyle. So in reality, fashion trends are there to help people decide which one suits them best and which ones they can go without.

Create Your Style

If you go with the latest trends and use your imagination or creativity to make it your own style, you might find that theres more to your wardrobe than only one look. You can also incorporate your mood into what youre going to wear.

You can exude playfulness or show your sexy side on some occasions and then be a little conservative on other days. Remember that fashion trends are more of guidelines on what you can wear for whatever occasion.

For instance, if youre stumped for ideas on what to wear to a formal event thrown by your company or you dont know what to wear to a luau, fashion trends can help you solve this mystery. You can even ask fashion gurus who write in fashion magazines about advices on proper attires for every occasion.

Apparel fashion trends and fashion sense are total two different types of style. We as fashion gurus live and breath to distinguish the difference and judge life styles by this. That’s why fashion is one of the billion dollars industries in the world.

Celebrities are the main advertisement s for designers aside from television shows and magazines that we see and read everyday. Having a sense of fashion is someone staying current with the new season’s style like the color palettes, fabrics and cuts. As for trends, it’s more of a style that is worn a certain way at anytime of any season but worn with confidence and pride.

Apparel fashion has become a main part of life now a day. Apparel fashion not only shows personality, creativity, character but most of all status of class. With out conscious effort we compliment, judge or envy fashion on others which in end drives us to have or work for better wear.

We express many things through fashion and what we wear its gives us a peace of mind and security with society as well as ourselves to be current with the fashion season and trend. The original fashion capitals where fashion is very important and where most designers live and work are in the fashion capitals such as New York, Milan, London and Paris.

Majority choices and trends originate from these cities and than domino effect down across the world. The Apparel fashion world is a very fast pace industry and cut throat. As long as you have a fashion sense, tough skin, drive and motivation, you will succeed and be successful in this industry.

The Apparel fashion world is a 24 hours 365 days a year industry that does not sleep. New ideas are thought up, manufactured and sent out for purchase. With this people have to be aware of what’s fashionable and what is obsolete. With our fine media and broadcasting this has given people the chance to experiment and decide what trend they would like to follow from across the world.

This summer, several key trends will be appearing on the beach, by the pool and after hours. While the seasonal forecasts have been around since 2008, you can now begin to get your hands on the trickle-down of styles and suggestions that were first seen on catwalks months ago.

As with every season, you’ll find a range of stand-out trends from which high street fashion stores have either drawn directly or taken a subtle nod. This means you can either emulate the key trends effortlessly, or mix it up to get a flavour of what’s hot in amongst your own summer style.

This summer’s style pack will undoubtedly be rocking the risqué sheer and see-through trend, which will keep you cool when it heats up. You can mix up the sheer trend with heavier fabrics too, for example, a sheer, floaty underskirt or dress, teamed with a chunky knit will not only keep you warm as the sun sets, but the combination of styles, fabrics and textures will look effortlessly chic.

You’ll also want to pay attention to trousers, because they’re going to be big this summer. Making a fashion statement is easy in the trouser of the season and this spring/summer, the eastern influenced harem trouser is positively de rigueur. You can dress harem pants up or down as they’re perfect either for a lazy morning walk with flip flops, or with killer heels, chunky belt and loose fitting shirt for a night on the town with the girls or boys.

Fringing is also going to be big this summer, which suits every cowgirl down to the ground. From suggestive leather thonging on oversized handbags, to fringed hems on trousers, skirts and even full-length fringing on dresses, ala Raf Simons at Jil Sander; Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga and even Chanel are getting in on the action with the fringe benefits of this look.

In terms of cutting, biased, asymmetry and one-shoulder dresses, tops and swimwear are everywhere. Channelling a Grecian vibe, single-shoulders are alluring and practical and are great for keeping cool when the weather is warm.

Finally, to be en point with the key spring/summer women’s fashion trends this year, hit the shops hunting prints – the more vibrant and colourful, the better. Think clashing, outrageous eye-catching pops of colours and textures and you’ll be well on your way. John Galliano for Dior, Roberto Cavalli and Christopher Kane were all over this trend this season and so should you.

Do you know that fashion trends this season highlight “depression chic”? How to describe it exactly? As far as I concerned, it is the fashion world’s straight stab at bringing back the glamorous dresses. Yes, in Spring/Summer 2009, great depression has suddenly become one of the hottest topic in fashion industry. Then, how to create such a depression chic? Finishing a broken in replica handbag, ripped jeans or wrinkled suits? In fact, the recent economic downturn equaled an unexpected turn for the better for fashion design this season. The economy has had obvious negative effects on the fashion industry, but an unpredicted positive result comes in the form of one of the most popular trends, cleverly referred to as “depression chic.” Here fashion is devided into two group, the one is practical wear, the other is the comparatively high-sounding vintage style. I cannot compare much more toward them since both of them are determined by special sense of worth. While, from the point of fashion’s encouragement, we need wear more beautiful and gorgeous in the econimic downturn period. See the practical wear first. Of course, in the special period, we have to keep more cash in hand, thus we control our shopping desire towards luxury designer items, and begin to select the approachable warm texture, like textile, cotton, stretch-fabrics even the hard-wearing jean. You could consider it as a common civilian fashion, just taste fashion in affordable prices. Then take a good look at the super realism group. It gives high praise to a brand new idea – the more depressive, the more stylish. Seems a little bolshy. I guess that people should shift their disappointment from the great economic downturn, therefore they mustn’t stop going for fashion. Maybe that will help us to forget annoyance for the moment. Nevertheless, no matter what the fashion changes, you should remember one big fashion, that’s you need always keep the style of yourselves.
