Underwear as outerwear: 2008 fashion trend

Sheer fabric is in; and along with comes a new take on underwear-as-outerwear.

In recent memory, any trends towards underwear-inspired garments have had their basis in corsetry. In 2008, bodices and boning have given way to free-flowing pieces that take their inspiration from delicately feminine lingerie styles. Camisoles, robes and slips are taking their place as everyday garments, drawing on the soft elegance of the 1930's.

2008 Hair Trends: Styles, Cuts and Colours

2007 was such a big year for hair trends that it's not too hard to see why so many hair trends in 2008 might feel familiar. While 2007 introduced us to the pob, it'll be its cousin the bob that we'll be wearing in 2008. And it's much the same story with the fringe trend: it was already with us at the start of 2007, had lost popularity by mid-year, but was brought back for 2008 by hypermodel Kate Moss in a completely new way.

This year hair trends will range from boy-short crops to natural long tresses, with bobs in-between. We'll also be wearing various shapes of feminine, masculine, and elegant to name but a few, all taking their cues from the same eras as their parent clothing trends. So read on to find out the hair trends you'll be wearing in 2008.

Wide-leg pants: 2008 fashion trend

We've been going skinny for so long, the pendulum was bound to swing back the other way. In 2008 both wide-leg pants and flares (but more the skinny kind than the bell-bottom) are back.

As per the 1930s and 40s influences, wide-leg pants in 2008 are sophisticated and chic; waists work best a little higher and belted to avoid slouching in a sloppy way.

2008's hottest fashion trends: Tobe

Retail and fashion forecasters Tobe have released a sneak peak at their January report into the fashion trends of 2008. Their top 5 picks for 2008 might surprise you, as they're not all threads you can wear.

Accentuated shoulders as a 2008 fashion trend

Remember those bulky shoulder pads from the 80s? They're back! Well... ok not quite, I'm just trying to scare you. What is making it as as trend in 2008 is accentuated shoulders - but in a much more sculptured, structured way than those 1980's power-suits.

2008's shoulders are accentuated with short sleeves on streamlined cuts creating a more balanced silhouette. Pointed shoulders (like YSL and Fendi, above) add an element of futurism and fantasy to a dress or top, while Balenciaga's rounded shoulders create a look that's football player meets 16th century plate armor, only much daintier of course.

1920s flapper fashion: 2008 trend

Ever since we saw Kate Moss at Glastonbury we were predicting a return of 1920s elements. The flapper trend set in slowly but surely, and the Spring / Summer 2008 runway shows were there to push it along.

Loose-fitting dresses with embellishments like fringing and beading, particularly in vintage styles, will take over from the more mod minis and smocks of the past season. Drop-waists aren't a requirement in 2008, where waists are otherwise emphasised and revered, and the trend will populate into a variety of different fits and cuts.

Sheer fabric & clothing: 2008 fashion trend

Sheer fabric is back as one of fashion trends for 2008, and plenty of celebrities are already wearing it. But don't worry - it's not about tight, see-through tops, and dresses that scream 'look at me' as we saw in the 1990s. Run your eyes over the Spring / Summer 2008 runway collections and you'll find sheer fabrics used in delicate, feminine ways - from loose, flowing tops to pretty blouses to dresses layered with sheer fabrics.

Sienna Miller does lumberjack check in yellow

Sienna Miller was spotted out and about yesterday in a yellow version of the lumberjack check. If you'll recall, the trend has been seen on the likes of Natalie Portman, Kate Bosworth, Mary-Kate Olsen and of course Lindsay Lohan.

I think the check looks rather more delicate in yellow. So far your votes are heading in a positive direction - but if you haven't voted yet go ahead and have your say.
