Fall / Winter 2010 R-T-W Fashion Trend Report
2010 Fall Fashion Trend Report- View all Fall Fashion Jewelry on PortiaJewelry.com
By Isabel Manzo
The best part about this Fall season are its layered looks. The reason why I picked this trend above all others was for two major reasons. The first reason was that this trend was seen across the board. Almost every designer gave us layers for a complex yet relaxed look that gives fall fashion a well-put together feel. The second reason why I loved this trend was because you can find these great layers, whether it's a scarf, military jacket, poncho or cape, just about anywhere with only a bit of effort, you can achieve these amazing chic fall looks affordably.
This season I've put together our fashion trend cheat sheet a bit differently. Instead of listing the major trends, I've grouped them together giving you a clear view of what the trends are head- to- toe. I started with hats and this report ends with amazing footwear for fall 2010. There were dozens of trends that I couldn't ignore including cropped sweaters, easy-to-wear capes, shoulder appliqués, wide-leg pants and over-the-knee boots and socks. I truly find that this season is the season to dig through your closet, go find those perfect fall accessories and take the time to pair up and layer to achieve any of these amazing looks. Don't forget... If you can't afford to buy the clothes and the shoes... use accessories and jewelry to make it happen. At PortiaJewelry.com, we strive to bring you designer inspirations and amazing seasonal fashion jewelry all at affordable prices.

Last but not least... BIG PROPS to Adam this season. This designer showcased all of our favorite looks in a truly ready-to-wear- fashion. Amazing and inspirational!
Bowlers, Fedoras and so many types of hats were seen on the runways. These hats can add some spice to a boring outfit as well as keep you nice and toasty! Headbands will also do the trick by easily transforming your hair style. Plus, it's a great cover-up to a boring pony tail when the wicked rain is in town! Two hair and makeup trends really stuck out to me... at Blumarine, models had loose and clean looks from hair to makeup with only a smoky eye to add something special. At L.A.M.B., the girls were a bit over done for my taste but I wanted to showcase deep lip colors, which are totally in this season. Only thing I would suggest, is go lighter on the eyes when sporting a bright or deep lip color.
Fashion jewelry on the runways were over the top with intricate collar bib statement necklaces, piled on bracelets and bangles and metallic gunmetal finishes. Celebrities and rock stars are sporting two-finger rings and Portia Jewelry has some great affordable alternatives.

The best 12 trends for tops and outerwear are: Turtle Necks, cropped tops and sweaters, print blouses, vests, capes, cardigans, leather jackets, military jackets, shoulder appliqués, patchwork and plaids, velvet and velour, ruffled wrap sweaters and blouses.
The top 8 trends for bottoms are: Wide-Leg pants, graffiti inspired denim and print pants, luscious burgundy, sophisticated camel, pleated skirts (love this look on leather), paneled denim, fitted cargo pants, versatile jumpsuits to easily transform day to night.
Dresses: Layered long dresses and long sleeve maxi's? I said... what?? But it seems to work and I love these first two looks by Versace and Isaac Mizrahi. I would like to say good-bye to the baby-doll dresses and say hello (Again!) to the sexy mini dress! Christian Dior, inspired by pirates, showcased amazing ruffled looks.
Accessories all the way!!! These accessories are what will have people turning heads and believing you spent a fortune to be in style this fall season. Grab adorned belts, oversized rich leather-looking hand bags and thick rich textured scarves.
Risky Footwear: This fall season is all about pushing the limits when it comes to footwear. Be careful and be warned... you find the wrong kind of over-the-knee boots and you're going to be walking around like a ... you know what. My advice is opt for brown leather over black, especially avoiding patent leather for a sexy but chic look. Buckles, zippers and lace ups that go way up boots offer an edgy look. Faux fur boots keep you nice and toasty plus look great with a skirt, over jeans or with joggers tucked in loosely. And last but not least.. killer wedge, platform, ankle boots adorned with tassels, zippers or anything that makes you happy!
Until next season...
