Fashion trends for winter 2012 |
||
 |
Fall is here and so are its colors - of both leaves and garments. 2011 into 2012 is already continuing the retro trend and more takes on classics of eras long past are coming out into play.
Fashion is something most people are familiar with; the way a person dresses can speak volumes about their personality. From modern to retro, and from mainstream to custom, your garb has long been said to be an extension of your way of life.
Of course what clothes are trending are what appeal to most. Whether they be short-lived fads or a long-running throwback to another time, if it is in, it will be embraced by many and donned by those who can afford it.
So what is trending for the Autumn 2011 into Winter 2012? According to Suite 101 writer Gill Hart, inspiration is going all the way back to the roaring twenties in the form of the flapper dress.
The flapper girl trend was something of a hippie movement of the 1920s. Teenage girls sported bobbed hair, embraced jazz music and even treated things like sex in a more casual manner. This was done essentially in protest of the accepted social norm of the time. |

| One of the more refreshing styles, flapper fashion first came onto the scene back in 2008. But its impact and influence are projected to be colossal in the upcoming season. For the most part, women's fashion maintains its status in the realm of being elegant and ladylike. Taking from TV shows such as Mad Men and movies like Black Swan, the "transitional trends" which pick up from last season will consist of maxi and midi-length skirts, as well as ballerina-inspired materials. Fashion Allure reports that burgundy is the color that takes home the proverbial gold this fall. More or less falling in line with a more subdued "wine color palette" that is in season. In general, the colors of this Autumn's fashion will consist mainly of neutral black and taupe, but also go into an array of refreshing forest-like greens. With a teal-esque sea green going strong along with dramatic scarlet, reminiscent of the silver screen's greatest. |

The Long Bob Trend is Here to Stay
A big trend in hair is the long bob, not long hair, not short hair, but cut somewhat blunt and just above the shoulders. Here are the rules of getting this coveted hairstyle.
1. Longer bobs can be bland if too blunt. Stacked layers in the back add dimension.
2. A bob can't be too layered, or it's not a bob. Gwyneth's bob here is more edgy because the stylist thinned out the ends with scissors or a razor.
3. Ask the stylist to make your bob a touch shorter in the back.
4. This cut works on straight and wavy hair (you'll see what I mean in the next images). It's a versatile cut because you can wear it wavy or flat-ironed.
