Before another year starts, fashion experts and designers always present us with what they think will be the new trends for the coming year. Some designs are made for a particular season while some are made to be fashionable throughout the year. Some even stay fashionable within the next couple of years. Here are some of the trends that are presented as the “in” thing this year.
The year 2010 is said to be outrageous in terms of clothing as extreme colors and prints are in fashion. Animal prints such as leopard dots are the main eye catchers. Metallic colors like gold and silver are also in fashion. To neutralize the flashy appearance of the prints, neutral colors such as beige and grey are also a definite hit for items such as coats and blazers. See-through top may also be sought out as the season becomes hotter.
Meanwhile, some old designs for shorts and pants are back. Items such as hot pants and jumpsuits are back in fashion. They are best paired with long socks or stockings up to or above the knee. For those who do not prefer to wear the shorts yet still want to show some skin, long skirts and dresses with high splits can keep you look sexy. The split can even be higher than shorts to reveal more skin yet hide more at the same time. Just like with the top, the pants can either have prints and patterns or just come in plain color. Aside from animal prints, abstract, floral and other strong prints brighten up the usually boring color of pants. Ruffles and feathers on skirts and shorts are also in fashion and are paired with neutral-colored tops as complement. Another old-school style that is back is torn and ripped jeans. Patched jeans are also one way to go if desired. The theme of rock-and-roll is something that never gets old.
As for the footwear, neutral tones are mostly worn to complement the catchy prints of the top or the pants. Flats, clogs, wedges and new Oxford shoes are in season.
Women’s fashion accessories such as the earrings also sport the animal prints. For those who feel uncomfortable wearing large prints of leopard dots on their clothes, the earrings are perfect for you to stay in fashion. Talk about animalistic fashion for this year. Large hair accessories are also coming back in fashion. Rock-and-roll and urban accessories are also sought after. Bracelets, studs, rings and chain necklaces can be used to accessorize the torn pants and printed top. As also mentioned, tall socks and torn stockings can be worn with the hot pants and jumpsuit.
This year’s fashion trend for women is feminine yet edgy, a mixture of extreme prints and plain, neutral colors. As the year progresses and seasons change, more fashion trends will surely emerge so stay updated. You should also remember that even if some items in your wardrobe are out of fashion, they should be kept for the future. Who knows when they might be back in fashion again?

Sacrificing comfort for fashion is something many women do every day. While fashion and style can make you look fabulous, it can sometimes also be harmful to your health. From back problems stemming from heavy handbags, to broken ankles from dangerously high heels, here is how to avoid being hurt by the current fashion trends.
Heavy earrings are often the culprit of torn or stretched out earlobes. The attraction of larger earrings is that it draws people’s eyes up to your face rather than other parts of your body, but surgery can be the eventual result. If you like wearing heavier earrings, consider only wearing them a few times a week and giving your ears a break as much as you can. Metallic poisoning is also attributed to lower quality earrings and other jewelry. In order to avoid your jewelry making you sick, be sure to only buy higher quality accessories from a reputable manufacturer.
Broken ankles, back issues, and foot problems are all caused by high heels. Admit it, there has probably been a time when you’ve seen a shoe and wondered “who in their right mind would wear that?” While flats are the most comfortable professional option, they aren’t very exciting or sexy. If heels are a must for you to feel attractive, try sliding them off under your desk and rotating your ankles every couple of hours. On weekends or evenings you can be more casual, dress your shoe choice down to give your feet a chance to relax. Proper insoles are a must to prevent many foot issues.
Cheaper dyes used by some manufacturers in clothing can also be problematic for people who are sensitive to chemicals. One example of this was a lady named Sheila who wore blue tights to a Halloween party. By the end of the evening she had blisters from her shoes. The blue dye used in the tights got into the blisters and she ended up in the emergency room with a “blood infection streak running up my leg.” Dr. Shazia Khan of Loyola University Health System also suggests that acrylic nails are harmful since, “acrylic nails allow bacteria and fungus to enter the nail area which can lead to infection. A better option would be to take care of the original nail through moisturizing and strengthening polish.” Many women use acrylic nails to cover brittle nails, causing stress and trauma to the nail bed.
Heavy handbags have long been cited for causing back and neck problems. Most experts recommend that women not carry purses over ten pounds, but that is very difficult for today’s on-the-go lady with lots to do and lots to carry. From new moms with diaper bags to working moms with portfolios and papers, handbags can play a huge part in chiropractic needs. For women who can’t live without their heavy bag, consider switching which shoulder you carry it on and add some neck and shoulder exercises to your workout routine. Carrying a large bag isn’t the problem; it’s filling it with stuff, so consider either carrying less in your handbag, or cleaning it out often.
