Fashion and Design World Today

Seasons are changing, temperatures are falling, and your wardrobe probably needs a serious adjustment. Don’t fear Designlookout is here with some great style tips that can get you through any fashion situation. From college to the boardroom, your clothes have an impact. Today I will show you some stylish items for a great price. Falling into fashion, stepping out in style.

Why so Utilitarian?

Utilitarianism Fashion is about getting maximum use of each garment you have in your wardrobe. Who wouldn’t want clothing that can be worn in several different ways or for various occasions? You can save tons of money, which is vital during this recession. The huge items with a utilitarian touch are. Aim for some laced up ankle boots with an almond shaped toe and stiletto heel. One of my favorite online stores, ASOS, has some great lace up shearing boots for under $95. Boots that look fabulous no matter what season or occasion is a plus in my book.

Another great item to looking into is a classic trench coat. A trench coat looks great on everyone.  Whether for work, school or play, a trench can go with anything. You will never hear this coat is out of style. Opt for a trench coat in neautral colors. Black trench coats are also a great addition to any wardrobe. One of my fav retailers for a e great cropped trench coat is Asos.com and Old Navy. Target.com also has some great trench coats in various sizes.

Must Have Utilitarian of 2010 – The white button up shirt. You can wear a white button up shirt for day or night. Whether you are dressing up or down. White button up shirts is a staple and muti outfit item.

What the Fringe?

Fringe is huge for the fall season. I love Sequined Fringe Dress from Haute Hippie. They have a modern touch to 60’s style. I also love Smitten’s black linen-cotton beaded fringe sweater. Fringe sweaters are great for the chilly seasons. Aim for cardigans instead of full sweaters. A great option for those ,like me, who love anything convertible is the Tri Me Convertible Sweater by Laurie B. Fringe vest are also great for the up & coming fall season.

I must admit, I was a big fan of the clogs back in the 90’s. No matter how uncomfortable they looked, they were quite the in thing to wear with women in those days. And those days, ladies, are actually back…thanks to Karl Lagerfeld and a host of fashion brands who had models sashaying in these chunky shoes at recent fashion runway spectacles.

In the world of shoes, clogs are supposedly considered the “mullet”. Not everyone can wear it, but those who do, must be able to carry the look in the hippiest way. The shoe’s design is odd but supposedly fashionable.

And this time around, the shoes are so much more stylish.

Get Nautical

Nautical Style is a huge trend for the summer ‘10. Who would have that 19^th century French fishermen nautical apparel became to be a fashion statement for the 21^st century. One of my favorite items for this summer trend are striped Nautical Shirts, dresses, and wedges. They look great at fabulous beach parties and for everyday wear. Striped shirts can be found in every retail store this summer. One of my favorite nautical style top is Striped Shark Bite Dolman Tee from Express.com. This top is a great example of  a modern twist on nautical style.

Nautical striped shirts look great on everyone but you have to know what stripes will look great on you. For all my plus size fashionistas, opt for thin horizontal stripes. Horizontal stripes are not great for plus size women. Thick horizontal stripes can make a full figure woman look wide. If you have an hourglass or pear shape than I would suggest wearing thin horizontal stripes. Thick stripes will add width to your figure. These shirts would be great for those who lack curves. Petite women should opt for nautical inspired tank tees. Tank tops look wonderful on petite figures.

My Nautical Picks

• Striped Shark Bite Dolman Tee from Express.com
• HARBOUR Striped Wedge from ASOS.com
• Nautical Jersey Dress by Annie Greenabelle from TopShop.com
• Julius Nautical Tote Women’s Bags (Handbags/Totes) By Paul Frank from Karmaloop.com

Flower Power

Everywhere I turn I see someone in a floral. Floral is a great and easy way to add color to any wardrobe. Floral is huge right now because many designers are using classic 80’s fashion. This is why floral is huge item this season! Floral bottoms are the rage this year. Tiered Skirts, mini dresses and Rompers are key for a perfect summer collection.  I personally enjoy small floral prints on dresses and skirts.

Stay away from floral button up tops. These tops are not the business this year instead look for floral tunics. Tees with large graphic flowers are also great for 2010.  Tank top are not my favor for this print. Tropical inspired floral prints are big on swim wear for this season. Shoes are also donning floral prints. I’m in lust for the pleated t-strap floral print wedge from GoJane.com. They are great examples of floral print shoes gone oh so right!

My Flower Power Picks

• Pleated t-strap floral print wedge from GoJane.com
• Ivette Floral-Print Skirt from Delias.com
• BB Dakota Hadley Romper from Shopbop.com
• Floral Ballet Tunic from Freepeople.com
