The boyfriend blazer has yet to reach the same levels of popularity as the two fashion trends which influenced it: boyfriend jeans and the boyfriend shirt. Which, for it, is a good thing. While the boyfriend shirt and denim trends have reached commonality and, thus, aren't considered trends anymore, the boyfriend blazer has found new sophistication and will be with us as a part of 2010 fashion trends. In particular, we'll see it amongst Spring 2010 fashion trends.

With the Spring 2010 fashion weeks only hours away a lot of attention is naturally turning to 2010 fashion trends. Pantone believe they have the season's color trends covered for women. Naturally as a Spring colour palette, Pantone are tipped bright colours. Bright they might be, brash they are no; let us not forget that Spring 2010's fashion collections will largely pave the way for the fashion industry to pull itself out of the current down turn.
While colour is often missing from the palette of fashion trends in the colder months, the same cannot be said for texture. As with the colder seasons of yesteryear, texture in the form of chunky knits will be a prevalent feature of Autumn 2009 / Fall 2009. However, as the world puts the economic down turn behind it, several fashion houses are banking on fashioniers being interested in taking their chunky knits to the level of an extreme sport: introducing super chunky knits.

It's no great secret that the humble leather jacket has become a wide-spread wardrobe staple over the last few Winters. As a fashion trend in 2010, however, women's leather clothing is being taken to a whole new level.

Over the past years fashion trends have largely been echoes of the 20th Century; we've revived everything from the 1920s through to the 1980s - even a bit of 90s most recently. So it seems natural that we should venture back further, and add a bit of the 19th century into 2010 fashion trends.
Masculine fashion for women takes a dandy turn in Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2010 - or rather, a more dandy turn. Building upon elements already big in past seasons - like the tuxedo trend and military fashion, the female dandy in 2010 is part Beau Brummell, part Oscar Wilde, and at times a touch of Coco Chanel.
Female Dandy looks from Jill Stuart, Abaete, and Rag & Bone
Interfiliere have released a massive selection of colours for their fashion colour trends report for Spring / Summer 2010. It looks as though we're in for a very green-based season with the a wide variety being featured in the palette; though also prevalent are pinks, blues, browns and even a neon green (of which we are not particular keen).

Capes. Say the word, and images of masked superheros mid-flight are what immediately pops into many people's minds.
But capes and cloaks have existed, in one variety or another, through much of our known human history. From early Medieval mantles, to 16th century decorative shawls; from military officers capes and 1940s fur stoles, to the fringed ponchos of the 1960s. But since the humble poncho had its hippie revival, the cape in its more sophisticated forms has seen nothing of a major comeback on the streets - that is, until now. The cape is back on the agenda as one of the major 2010 fashion trends.
So many textile elements come together each year to put together seasons fashion trends; there are the cuts, the individual details, the fabrics, and, the oft forgotten color trends.
