Winter Fashion Picks for 2011 By Lola Rodriguez Platinum Quality Author

If you're looking to learn about what is in style for the winter 2010 fashion season, you have come to the right place. There are a number of different routes in fashion you can take this upcoming winter season. Natural colors are in, so layering long sleeve shirts in neutral colors, with brown or tan jackets will be a hot look. Skinny jeans with knee high boots are also a great look for this winter fashion season. When looking for jackets or coats, opt for cinch waistlines such as belted jackets. Not only are these styles in fashion, but they will make your waist look smaller.

If you would like to go for another style, bright bold colors and vintage styles are also in fashion. Think neon colors, graphic t-shirts, tight pants, and polka dots! One can't mention the vintage 80s comeback without mentioning peaked shoulders. This is an awesome look for jackets, coats, and shirts! You will definitely look chic if you go for a nice, sharp peaked shoulder jacket. In addition to this, flannel shirts are also in.

Accessories can't be forgotten. Winter fashion this year includes big, bright bold accessories such as bracelets, rings, and necklaces. If wearing prints is your thing, animal prints are also a hot look for the winter. As you prepare for New Year's celebrations, zebra or leopard print dresses or blouses would be great choices. For a more classic look, opt for a nice sweater dress with a belted waist. You can't go wrong with this look, because it is both timeless and flattering on most body shapes.

Looking for the top women's winter fashion trends for 2011? This year crisp military styles, bold graphic prints, chic tuxedo jackets and long soft knit sweaters are the must have styles of the winter season.

Crisp Military Styles

From sleek cropped military jackets to edgy military styled pants there are an endless number of ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe. Incorporate a color palette of green, olive, gray and taupe into your wardrobe and invest in a few key wardrobe pieces including a military styled jacket or blazer, a pair of tapered military style pants and a pair of high heel lace up military inspired boots.

Bold Graphic Prints

Add some bold and graphic prints to our wardrobe to create a hip and edgy look. Fitted t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, skirts and one piece dresses are the best options for bold and graphic prints. When you pick out a piece of clothing with a pattern or print look for something with a hint of artistry including bold brush strokes, a watercolor appearance or even something edgy with retro shapes and designs.

Whether you are wearing a brightly colored and artistically designed print dress or a sleek and edgy long sleeve graphic print shirt with a military style blazer make sure you add some equally gorgeous and stand out jewelry pieces. Cuff bracelets, large pendant necklaces and vintage rings are divine accessories to wear with a bold print or pattern.

Chic Tuxedo Jackets

This is the year of the tuxedo jacket. The long lines and tapered design of the tuxedo jacket creates an incredibly long and lean figure flattering look. The best part of this winter fashion trend is that it works extremely well as a layered look. Wear a chic tuxedo jacket over a long graphic t-shirt or sexy camisole. Add a pair of denim jeans or sleek leggings to create a fabulous layered look for the winter season.

Don't forget to accessorize! Throw on a pair of long leather boots, a brightly colored silk scarf and some gold bangles to complete the look. The key to looking chic in a tuxedo jacket is to wear a fitted style that falls just past the hips. Keep the layers sleek and simple with two to three complimentary accessories.

Long Soft Knit Sweaters

There is nothing more divine than wearing a long soft knit sweater worn over your best fitting and most comfortable pair of jeans. From cardigans to v-necks the best sweaters are ones that will wash and wear well every time you put it on. Black, white, gray and cream are the best color choices and will work as key pieces in your wardrobe because the neutral color scheme is extremely versatile and complimentary.

Wear a long soft knit sweater over a pair of leggings, jeans or trousers. Add a pair of chic lace up ankle boots, vintage styled gemstone jewelry and a slouchy hobo handbag to complete the look.

This winter the top four fashion trends for women include military styles, bold graphic prints, chic tuxedo jackets and long soft knit sweaters. Invest in one or two key pieces that blend well with your wardrobe. Neutral color schemes are often the best way to incorporate the latest fashion trends into your current style.

Warm Must-Have Autumn and Winter Fashion Forecast - 2010-2011 By Suzy O'Connor Platinum Quality Author

Shearling jackets

THE jacket to be seen in this season, shearling styles are already huge and if it's good enough for Alexa Chung then we're more than happy to embrace this toasty treat!

Poncho

The poncho can be a tricky look to carry off but if you're a dedicated fashionista this item can provide a current, creative and cosy addition to your winter wardrobe.

Camel

If you prefer something more classic then a camel coat may be for you - and the caramel toned trend doesn't end there; skirts and tailored trousers in complimentary hues ooze style while offering head to toe comfort.

Quilting

Quilting is no longer just for granny's dressing gown, there are lots of options in this finish that offer warmth and a trendy look.

Chunky woolens

Layer up cable knit sweaters, woolen skirts and scarves for the ultimate winter outfit and finish the look with a beanie hat.

Turtlenecks

Turtlenecks need not be dowdy and they're a great look for autumn/winter this year. To make them work for you try adding a funky necklace or going for one of this season's rich reds, emerald greens or deep blue shades.

Long hemlines

Maxi dresses are a favorite with us and this long hemmed style has taken us right through the year and into the colder months, we couldn't be more delighted! For casual day wear match your long flowing skirts and dresses with an over sized slouchy sweater or make the look more formal with a fitted knit.

Gorgeous Gloves

Gloves have taken on a quirky twist this year with the emergence of lace and fingerless designs. Though these may not be the most practical hand coverings they certainly make wearing gloves more fun.

Fall 2011 Wedding Gown Trends by Bridget Mora

The bridal designers have recently debuted their collections for Fall 2011 in New York, and there are some noteworthy new trends (hint: the one shoulder style is done). Certain design elements have been carried over from Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 bridal gown collections, but there are a few things which are definitely different about the latest creations. Learn about what will be hot (and what will not be hot!) for 2011 wedding gowns.

There was a clear return towards more simple bridal gowns in the new Fall 2011 designs than we have seen in recent years. The strong trend towards asymmetry has dramatically declined. The one shoulder gown which was so chic for a couple of seasons has all but disappeared from the new collections. Gowns have returned towards a more traditional and classic bridal elegance, and away from the daring fashion-forward styles which were so popular for a couple of seasons. These gowns are definitely safer, and will please any bride who appreciates timeless elegance.

No designer better exemplified the new direction in fashion for Fall 2011 bridal than Amsale. The vast majority of her gowns had completely unembellished skirts, the likes of which we have not seen for several years. Gone are the ruffles, tiers, and artfully shredded tulle or organza details which have been featured by all the designers the last few seasons. The newest bridal gowns are ladylike and refined, well cut, and minimally adorned. Particularly at Amsale, a gown might feature little more than a bow or single blossom at the waist for embellishment. A simple pair of pearl earrings and a long veil is about all this style of gown needs to feel complete in its understated grace.

The 1950s inspired trend continues into the Fall 2011 bridal gowns. Sweetheart necklines were in abundance, sometimes strapless and at other times with tiny spaghetti straps. The natural waist which was ushered in by the '50s revival is still the favored waistline. It was generally seen with a simple accent, such as a bow, flower, or narrow row of crystals right along the waistline. Tulle and patterned organzas are still in style, as they suit the simple silhouettes of the gowns. The tulle styles would be gorgeous for a warm weather wedding, and for cooler weather, there were some lovely silk taffeta options. Again, pearl earrings and necklaces are the ideal accessories for this type of gown.

In general, the move was away from the dramatic silhouettes, such as the fitted trumpet with the explosion of fullness at the bottom. For Fall 2011, most shapes are more subtle, such as a silk mikado gown with a gentle flair near the hemline. However, brides who have their hearts set on all-out glamor and drama will not find themselves to be completely without options. Monique Lhuillier's latest collection features many of the fashion-forward details which have been seen in recent years, and brides can always turn to Kenneth Pool when they want gowns in luminous silk satin with rich embroidery. The bride seeking a short gown either for her ceremony or as a second dress for the reception will find numerous options, as this was something featured in almost every designer's collection for Fall 2011. Happy shopping!
