Fashion Trends for 2009

Dec 28, 2008 by

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season, whichever holiday you celebrate.  I also hope that everyone in the cities that have had the extreme weather is doing ok as well.

We are closing out another year.  2008 has been an interesting year in so many ways.  The fashion trends of this past year have been an interesting mix of things from bold colors to western themed wear.  I hope you had an opportunity to incorporate some of the fashion trends of 2008 into your wardrobe.  I’d love to see pictures if you have any.  It would be fun to do a fashion year in review featuring some of my fellow Clueless Fashionistas.  Feel free to send any pictures to info at cluelessfashionista dot com (it’s spelled out to prevent the spammers from getting a hold of it).

Well as we  move into 2009, I have compiled a list of fashion trends that we can look forward to for the upcoming year.  I will continue the “How do I wear that trend” feature to give you tips on how to wear next season’s trends but this is just a glimpse into what you can look forward to.  Enjoy.

    I’m still clinging on to the urban style and I hope it will soon re-establish itself. You have compiled a great list, I especially like the shift dress. I would like to see more heavy jewelry and accessories on people. I like the rattle :)

    I think people still underrate jewelry as a fashion statement. People should be bold and brave with their jewelry and make a real statement!!

    Good call on the fashions. I really like the sheer tops and large earrings that are coming back in style. The large pearls are so fun with a vintage type of feel. I love working with them and wearing them. The bold bright colors in clothing are also something to look forward to this summer.

    I love the fashion reviews. I especially like the look of the new sheer materials, combined with a cool pair of jeans and some of that
    hip jewelry and you can be sure to stand out.

  15. Leggings Dos & Donts (1 comments)

    Chunky knit sweaters (and sweater coats) are everywhere this fall. Pair long over short by wearing a mid-thigh or longer sweater with dark leggings; wear the look with or without a belt.

    Great tips, great article -I shall pass this onto anyone who needs fashion help!

  17. Vintage Tops (2 comments)

    The outfits of the models are just really great especially with a little taste of vintage stuff and even mix for the 2009 trend.

  18. Statement Jewelry (1 comments)

    Be assured this jewelry trend is growing and worth your investment. Chunky jewelry and bold cuffs defined the Fall 2011 runways of major fashion houses, including Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, John Galliano and Yves St. Laurent. Oscar de la Renta’s own Resort 2011 Collection was highlighted on stage with giant floral broaches, disc earrings, cocktail rings, and multi-hued beaded necklaces.

  19. Hi this is a great post but ive found it well to late. Will you be doing another post on trends for 2011.

    Thanks and keep up the good work.
