Fashion Fridays: What Trends Will Be Hot For 2011?










It is very hard to plan the year ahead, but looking at many magazines and reading many articles I have come up with a list of the hot trends for 2011.

10) Bright Colours- 2010 was all about minimal. Being in a ressecion we wore alot of neutral colours and did not really go out and buy things that were out of the box. (I know I didn't). 2011 will be about neon for the year. So break out the 80's windbreakers and lets get styling.



9) Mini Backbacks- The 90's are coming back, and in full force. It holds everything and makes you look super chic. So head over to stores like H &MUrban Outfitters and Forever 21 and you will find a whole bunch of these there. Thrift stores are having a hard time keeping these on the shelves.


8) Slip-Ons- Slip on sneakers are the answer to those casual outings. TOMS are a great alternative to heels and are also part of a great cause. You can even get them in all different colours and prints. Make sure to get a pair for springtime.




7) Desert Chic- Every year there is some sort of a `theme` for the year. Past couple of years it was the military or the safari inspired look, this spring it is Desert Chic. Browns, taupe, blacks, and neutrals are the perfect look. However instead of linen ensembles and big loud prints (and there still will be some), fashion is going towards the geometric approach- think the 60s.





6) The 70s- The 70s are coming back and really in full force. This spring and summer look for bright colours, bold patterns and a wardrobe that looks like you walked out of the 70s. With lots of retro prints, beads, patterened knee socks and yes pigtails- summer 2011 looks like it will be fun and colourful.




5) Slicked Back- I personally love wild and curly hair because it screams personality but for the spring and summer of 2011 models are walking the runways with slick, sleek-looking hair. So start up the straightening iron once again, and grab some straightening serum and enjoy.





4) Pleated Trousers- Last year these were popular, and this year it will be the same. High-waisted pleated ankle trousers are still going strong. And they look so hot with heels. Try it out with some neon colours and slicked back hair.







3) Emma Watson- Emma Watson is deemed to be the ìt` girl of 2011. Since cemeting herself as an icon, 2011 looks like it will be another great year for her. With the great pixie cut that won everyone`s attention and her glowing skin at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiere you can expect her to get more attention for her take on the trends. Emma Watson is like the everyday girl.



2) Socks
Socks and heels were hot in the spring of 2010 so do not think it will get out of style. With the spring coming right around the corner try to incorporate some ankle, knee and thigh high socks.




1) Skins- Skins is a new talked about show about some British teens. However MTV has done a US version of this, which could be pretty terrible but it doesn`t mean the fashion will be terrible. From the trailer, it seems like this UK knock off will rival Gossip Girl in the fashion world. By the end of this year expect many trends from this television show.






What other trends do you think will be fashionable in 2011? Leave some comments and let me know.
