Fashion Allure: Latest Trends, Fashion Shows, Celebrity Style

As the days in fall are getting colder and colder, a good coat is not only a must in the terms of fashion but it is also about keeping warm. It is said that:

“Splurging on one stunning coat for the winter is always worthwhile since it will be worn often and can make less expensive clothes look more elegant.”

Coat Trends and Types for Fall 2009 / Winter 2010

don’t impress. They are quite classical and predictable. There are some exquisite examples which include bright colours or ruffles, but most of the coats presented in Fall 2009 / Winter 2010 collections are based on black and neutrals. So what in en vogue?

• oversized collars, crewneck (Oscar de la Renta) or revers collar (Roland Mouret)
• fur detailing – fur cuffs and collars (or both in case of Donna Karan) if you’re not ready for fur itself
• highlighted waist (Badgley Mischka) or A-line coats (Preen)
• strong shoulders (BCBG Max Azria)
• buttons: single-breasted coats (Moschino), double-breasted coats (Burberry Prorsum), pea coats – especially the ones refering to the military trend which is now more feminine than it used to be (Pollini)
• ruffles (Louis Vuitton, Valentino)
• genuine leather (Jean Paul Gaultier) and reptile leather (Dries Van Noten)
• tweed (Miu Miu)
• colours: black (Elie Saab), gray (Alberta Ferretti), navy (Loewe)
