1. This season’s winter colors
Staying true to the season, shades of soft white seem to be a good choice for clothes that blend in with the winter theme. Another popular color to help produce a sharp contrast is black and various shades of black, while dull and muted grays give a nice warm and fuzzy touch, and hues of rich red right through to mellow maroon are reflective of the season.
For women, earthy colors ranging from deep shades of olive, maroon, brown, deep blues to chocolate brown are set to form the trend that you should look out for when shopping online for clothes. While for men, muted shades of pink, lavender, brick red, grey, deep shades of purple and black are the colors that will be setting the stage for winter fashion.
2. Hair
Choosing the right hairstyle to go with the season’s fashion trend can be quite a daunting task. You don't want to be seen in last year's hairstyles, and certainly not something that is not the hottest do at the moment. So if you're trying to figure out the hairdo that's the pick of the season by stylists and fashion models, it's time to let you in on a little secret. Apparently, for women, wearing your hair in the all-so-classic bobcut seems to be the more favored trend this season.
Men, on the other hand, who tend to make the cut, will have to aim to get their hair into the bushy straight, yet carefully disheveled look that gets tucked away into the tops of their mufflers.
3. Hats
If you like hats, you're in luck. This season, hoods, hats and caps are the rage. Large knitted beanies or those furry oversized Moroccan hats are all in this winter. The en vogue styles include hats that are either huge and puffy, or tiny and pointed. Fur-lined hoods incorporated into the garments are also turning heads this winter.
4. Coats
This season, coats come with a nice thick mantle-like look that features tousled sleeves and funneled collars. Other patterns included coats with widely placed collars and a rich furry texture.
5. Fabrics
The prevailing trend in fabrics this season is fabrics are over-worked with several different design effects across their surfaces. The fabrics are very solid or concrete with a sort of untamed natural feel blended with soft lusters. Prints around the winter theme are almost subtle with a focus on the rich exterior of the fabric. Lightweight wool or reworked cotton fabrics are the base for designs that will debut this winter.
6. Effects
In complimenting the feel and textures of the fabrics, the designs around these effects that are set to make the stage this winter, range from long pleats, subtle wrinkles and clearly visible overstitches, to the blistered and tangled effects.
Cashmere is worked in with regular wool and mohair is blended to give the fabrics a light, yet visibly textured look, while some of the other fabrics are roughly cut to give a thatched, heavily threaded effect. Most knits are made with heavily emphasized gages to draw out the raw protective feel against the winter chill.
Denim is one of those fabrics that will probably be around forever. This winter, the theme is a slight gleam on the denim with an oxidized look. In fact, this season’s going to have you see a lot of ultra cool effects.
7. Scarves
Trade in your old winter muffler for those large woolen scarves that can be draped over your shoulders like a stole. Embodied with various prints on dulled wool, the scarf lends a casual yet protective loop to the wearer, be it a man or a woman.
8. Footwear
Ankle-high shoes in shades of silver and grey are this winter’s winner. They scream elegance and comfort in a very casual sort of way. Transparent slippers laced with silver give an almost Cinderella effect for women.
9. Jewelry
Designs that highlight the winter season are gorgeous accessories like silver snowflake pendants and large broaches like a sprig of holly or mistletoe. They make some really eye-catching accessories. Chunky silver bracelets and large, but light dangling earrings add to the effect.
Make sure you watch out for these lovely trends that are bound to take the country by storm. Honestly, you really do not have to own expensive designer clothes to make a statement. Even your local stores will be stocking up on some of these new designs. This winter season will make sure that you treat yourself to some of these trendy styles and go paint the town red!
