Old Clothing Trends Are Back In For 2011

2011-02-28T16:04:00.000-08:00

Maxi dress goes sheer

Every season trends evolve, and every season two trends merge. In that regards, spring 2011 will be no different from what has come before it. What will be different, however, is the season's take on a staple for many women's summer wardrobe: the maxi dress. In spring 2011 it'll merge with another trend favourite to give us the sheer maxi dress trend.

Lace clothing

No, it's not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has evolved. Lace influences for Spring 2011 are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. Less of the allover, stretch lace and more of the unique takes. Click to read more about thelace dress trend.

Tassels

Sometimes a little detail is all it takes to change the feel of a garment. In Spring 2011 one of the most popular trimmings is one that signifies luxury or, at times, the exotic. Adorning everything from handbags to shoes to dresses and hats - click to read about the tassel trend.

Bell bottoms

With skinny pants and jeans now so common that they no longer make a statement it was inevitable that a different style would emerge as a trend. It didn't necessarily have to be this one, but with the come back of all things 1970s it was inevitable that fashion forward people would turn tobell bottoms / flared pants as their style of choice. Follow the link to find out more about this spring 2011 clothing trend including some key styling tips.

Wide leg pants

By now the general experiment with cuts of pants and jeans that aren't skinny should be evident: women's pant trends in spring 2011 are defined by this experimentation with everyone keen to see options for women that simply aren't skinny. Hence alongside the flares are wide leg pants and jeans. What is the difference between the two, and how should they be styled in 2011? Follow the link to find out.

Capri pants

For every trend exists its opposite. So as spring / summer 2011's fashion trends allow us to welcome flares back into our wardrobes, so too does it allow for an opposite style, in the form of capri pants, to make a showing. Click the link to find out about the styles of capris that are in in spring 2011, and what other trends to wear them with.

Stripes

Stripes are a dominant part of any spring / summer season, though usually, year on year, featuring a variation on the theme. Spring 2011 sees stripes with an unsurprising nautical dominance - but it's a dominance inspired by other key Spring 2011 fashion trends. Click to read about stripes to find out what those other inspirations are.

Jumpsuits & playsuits

They're something of a yoyo trend: one season they're in, the next season they're out. For spring / summer 2011 they're back again, reinterpreted to fuse in many of the season's other fashion trends. Read our jumpsuits & playsuits guide to find out what's in and what's out.

Crop tops

It was 2009 that we last focussed on this look as a trend, and back then it certainly wasn't a trend for the whole year. This is very much a high-summer 2011 look, one great for the hottest of weather and party atmospheres, such as festivals. Find out how the crop top trend has changed since 2009 and how to wear it in 2011 by clicking the link.

2011 Spring Key Looks for Men

2011-02-25T12:43:00.000-08:00

2011 suit styles

They never actually go out of fashion, but they do evolve over the course of several years. So what suit styles are in fashion for spring / summer 2011? Here is a link on the modern men's suit that will take you through cuts and colours, and help you decide all the elements you'll want in a good quality piece for spring / summer 2011. Follow the link to read more.

Men's flared jeans

Men's skinny jeans have had their day. That's not to say they're out of fashion, but they've peaked and as far as men's fashion trends in spring / summer 2011 go they've been replaced by a style with quite a large difference. For the first warm season of 2011 men's flared jeans are back. Follow the link to find out whose designing them, how to wear them and what to avoid.

Men's motorcycle fashion

It's a trend that's in for women in spring 2011, and visual elements of the motorcycle look are also in for men. Spearheaded by a number of design houses, including Burberry, the main element of this men's trend is obviously the motorcycle jacket. For more inspiration on the trend take a look at the men's motorcycle fashion guide, which goes into some detail about the differences of what's in for men versus women.

2011-02-25T11:46:00.000-08:00

'70s glamour

Just as the '50s and '60s are back, so too are particular elements of the '70s. There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour. When it comes to the latter, think dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day. Click to read about the sophisticated '70s trend.

Biker clothing

As of spring 2011 the military fashion trend will have been with us for over a decade. And for that decade it's been great, we've loved it, but 10 years later we have to admit: spring 2011 is the time to move on. The question is: what do we move on to? The answer: the trend that's been living in its shadow, waiting for its moment of glory. And for spring / summer 2011 it's going to get just that because here comes the biker trend.

Punk fashion

Another of the thematic trends for spring / summer 2011, punk carries on from last year to become less of a full blown trend and more one of influence - you'll see its elements impact upon a number of other spring 2011 trends. Which can be a danger: punk fashion is one trend you can't afford to get wrong. Read our guide to punk fashion for spring / summer 2011 to find out what it entails, what elements you should wear, and the looks you should avoid.

60s ladylike

The silhouettes of the 1950s and 1960s make a strong return, with shapes that accentuate curves and foster femininity. A hip-hugging sheath dress with a below-the-knee hem is the ultimate in hourglass dressing, while the full circle skirt and dress remain at the core of the trend. For Spring 2011 introduce fresh colours, prints and light summery fabrics. Click to read about the '60s dress trend.

Robert Geller: Spring 2011

2010-09-13T05:52:00.000-07:00

Notable designer, Robert Geller, is known for his foward-looking menswear that men can actually wear, but during New York's Fashion Week, Geller's past shows are remembered as being referenced by vampires and the romance of Eastern Europe. This year in what maybe have been his most approachable collection to date, as the fashion critics would put it, Geller included pieces that were mixed with military standards and a rocker edge. Olive was a huge theme (military jackets and vests), scooped-necked tees layered under leather jackets, thin cardigans, as well as treated vests.
