Trendy Him

Summer is drawing to a close, there is no gainsaying the fact, what a trendy Summer it was. This Summer brought back the amazing 80s style. Besides, bringing out the style in us, it enhanced the creativity of our Stylist and fashion Designers. Denim once again became the culture and trend that will not evaporate.
While women have traditionally been the trend setters and men playing catch up, this Summer depeats our crave for Style. Men are becoming equally as trendy as women, sporting designs that are traditionally associated with women.

The most outstanding trend of Summer 2010 is "Skinny Jeans". Denim was once again very trendy. It came in all forms and colours - jeggings, ripped, patched, studs and jumpsuits.
Boots are creeping back to Style. These are just no ordinary boots. They come distressed and battered, trading the old skool look. While Summer had its share of distressed lace up shoes, musas, canvas and wedges for women. Boots are trends to watch for this fall and winter.

Though winter is normally the traditional time for Boots, Peasant Boots will set a new trend this winter for his and hers. PEASANT is the way to go. Peasant Boots, Country Side French Trench Coats are cropping up on Runways from Milan to Paris. The trendy revolution on peasant style is so eminent that virtually everything form Pants, to Coats and Accessories are taking queue from the trends set by our 15th century Uncles and Aunts. Though every designer has jumped on this bandwagon thus so far, am personal intrigued by the collections from the Belgian designer, Ann Demeulemeester. www.anndemeulemeester.be/

Though women tends to be more associated with Boots. Peasant Boots are turning out to be a big time trend for Men this winter.

The Professionals will also have their cut this fall and winter. Folks running around in good old boring Suits and Briefcases will also be pimped come winter, thanks to our peasant Forefathers. The fashion minded professional will walk about in style in D&G Peasant Boots and trendy distressed oversized Totes.

The Peasant look is not just synonymous with high end designers like Dolce and Gabbanna, Ann Demeulemeester, Custume National, 3.1 Phillip Lim but, high street shops like H&M, Top Shop etc.

Men are also bracing the streets of New York, Berlin, Paris and Milan with "Over sized Bags", an acronym usually associated with women.

So if you are already planning your winter wardrobe like I am, keep in mind, PEASANT is the way to go. It don't need to be a collection from the top designers, which is above the budget of most folks. Shop wisely. Peasant boot is a must have this winter. I bet you want to keep up with the trends but, remember Style is an act that can't be copied. It is unique to oneself. In the words of John Fairchild

     “"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
