2009 Fall Trends

Even though thoughts of falling leaves and cold nights are still far away, it's not too early to start the hunt for this fall and winter's fashion trends. Here are what the designers have in store for what to wear in fall/winter 2009/2010:

- Muted metallics. Muted tones of copper, pewter and iron are making a splash on the catwalk. Pair them with earthy shades in tweed, linen or leather to keep the shine subtle.

- Thigh-high boots. This coming season sees designers taking boots to new heights. Paired with skinny jeans or leggings, these certainly make a statement. Very sexy, if somewhat impractical, they need to be paired with a more conservative outfit to be pulled off.

- The fitted coat. This flattering, perfectly-tailored, old-world sophisticated staple
highlights a refined silhouette.

- The boyfriend jacket. Conversely, this jacket is cut to look like it is on loan from your man, with stronger shoulders and sharp tailoring. Just like the boyfriend jeans seen last spring, this jacket is a throwback to the '80s.

- Tudor ruffles. Tufted and ruffled necks and structured bodices are big this fall. Skinny jean coupled with Tudor-style tops in silks, brocades, and jacquards and embellishments of lace, sequins and tassels are the rage. Designers seem to be saying "more is more" when it comes to lavish trimmings.

- Jewel tones. Enough with the black already! Bright, saturated gem colours made a big splash on the runway. Ruby, amethyst, emerald, sapphire, and topaz are big either for accented accessories or for full-length gowns in satin and silk.

- Fierce fur. Faux and otherwise, fur plays heavy into fall's fashion picture. Both elegant and relaxed — and practical for Canada's winters —_fur is making another comeback this time in stoles and boleros, as well as jackets.
