With the temperatures beginning to drop and the Holidays coming fast, its peak time for the fashion industry to don their new styles in winter wear. This year is like a screening of “A Christmas Carol” with the Ghost of Christmas Future coming to show off the latest trends in winter fashion. Last year brought back the styles from the 40’s all the way to the 90’s. This year starts a new trend with a new style and a new way to express your personality. Here are the styles that will make you sing your favourite Christmas tunes:

Leather and Laces:

This year from fall to winter will prove to tie up the holidays. Leather with restrictive laces will be all the rage. High boots with full laces from toe to top will be desired by fashionistas everywhere. Modest corsets with embellished laces will hug the fashion trendy and keep them warm all season.

Colour, colour, and more colour:

From soft lavender to a bright yellow, colours will drape the rainbow of fashion across the runways. Every colour from a soft pastel to a modest earth tone and even fun and funky bright pinks, greens and yellows will show personal style as they are paired with leopard and snake prints.

Fun and funky designs are promised for the fashion masses. We have already seen the released Missoni zig zags get snatched by all the hipsters that want to express their quirky and fun personalities this season. Pastel patch-worked outfits and more fun patterns are still promised to come.

Textures:

From faux fur, to lace, and leather. This year will pair the hard and the soft to create a look as versatile as the woman wearing it. Softer cottons, silk, and lace will have accents of studs, leather, and even latex. Diamonds, chrome, and beads are going to be accessorizing these interesting trends for the fall and winter months.

Hairstyles:

Fashion isn’t always about clothing and accessories. This year comes with a variety of hairstyles to compliment the new fashions and bring fun to the streets. From ponytails to curls this year’s theme seems to be longer hairstyles. Braided looks are going to be seen from the streets to the office and even the runways. With so many different styles to create in braids and ties, the possibilities are only limited to your creativity.

Updo’s of all types were also seen in the flashes of the fashion show cameras. From tighter, sleeker, more elegant buns to fun and loose top buns, the updo is going to be hot this year. With a different do for every occasion it will be as individual as the outfit it’s complimenting.

Bangs will be making a comeback this year also. As well as the middle part. Expect to see classic style in the streets as simplicity takes over the style. Easy to maintain and yet stylish, these do’s will keep the busy woman on track while keeping her in style.

Regardless of your personality, lifestyle or budget, this year’s trends will be comfortable, fun and frisky. With an emphasis on simplicity, functionality and ease, Fall/Winter 2011 will offer plenty of personality and holiday joys.
