Fashion Trends of the Decade – Trends From the Last Decade We’ll Remember and Ones We Want to Forget
You can tell a lot about a decade from its fashions. The 60s were defined by free love and hippy frocks. The 70s were all about the disco revolution. And the 80s gave us both preppy style and new wave neon. So what will the 00s, or the “noughties,” be known for? Foremost, we saw nods to eras past, with new twists on old looks.
Fashion also developed a social conscience, with sustainable fabrics and manufacturing that reflected a greater awareness of ecological responsibility that will certainly carry over into the next decade. And of course, the noughties will be known for its fads. Let’s take a look at the fashion trends that will make it into the history books of fashion design schools, and more importantly, what you’ll wear in twenty years to the noughties party.
Boho chic. This look borrowed from gypsy and hippie influences, and was characterized by loose, flowing tops and skirts, the layering of fabrics and textures, and mixing of prints. The look was completed with oversized sunglasses, coin belts, and vintage beads.
2010 Fashion Jewelry Trends
Budgets are tight these days, but that does not mean that you need to stop being fashion conscious. Jewelry is one of the best ways that you can stay current with today’s trends without having to spend all of the money that you have in your savings account. To really get the most bang for your buck it is important that you know what the top trends and styles are going to be so that you can choose quality pieces that will update your style.
Statement jewelry is actually one of the largest trends right now. Pieces like this may not be the most expensive pieces in your wardrobe, but they will pack a lot of punch for the amount of money that you have spent on them.
You will want to choose pieces that are a bit more outrageous than your every day jewelry. Explore fun shapes, rich colors, and lots of sparkle. The key to making this type of look work for yourself is to keep your statement down to one piece per outfit. You do not want to have a large statement ring paired with a chunky armful of bangles, and some chandelier earrings. Instead, choose to simply work either a large statement ring or some dangly earrings.
