1) Faux Furs: Many celebs are supporting faux furs this winter season. Fur makes a big statement and it's becoming more popular to wear fake fur than the real thing! Look for boots, jackets with faux fur and bold animal prints and vests.
Elle MacPherson is wearing 4 out of the 5 hottest winter trends. But I want to showcase her amazing boots. Everyone has a pair of boots that are either UGG's or similar to them. Here Elle is wearing a chunkier, almost knee high boot with a fur trim. These boots have been in for many years and they will continue to be in because the look constantly evolving and changing. Plus I love the buckles around the boot it's all about the subtle detail. And the leather leggings are hot! Check out Elle's fur vest to Kim K's vest a few pictures down!
Nicky Hilton is wearing a bold leopard print jacket. Leopard print is very in! This jacket is gorgeous! It's the perfect length. You don't want a long animal print jacket it will make you appear bigger than you and can be too bold. The jacket falls right under the butt which looks great with the leggings and knee high boots. I really like the big buttons. The only problem for me is that the coat doesn't carry much shape. Since Nicky is very skinny it looks good on her slim frame but someone who may be more hippie or boxier may make you look bigger than you are. To have more of a shape and show off your figure adding a matching belt around your waist will show off your curves!
I thought I would put a picture of Suri Cruise. Of course she has been in the limelight for being a little mini fashionista but seriously her clothes and fashion sense is too cute. For those of you that have children this is a perfect coat for your little ones. This is a little gray fur jacket. The textures and shades from how the fabric is placed looks great. The big buttons add a little detail and doesn't the coat just look so warm, soft and cuddly!
Kim Kardashian is wearing a black fur vest. This vest is very different from Elle's soft brown vest. This vest that Kim K is wearing gives and illusion of a long scarf because it hangs down so low. I think it looks great with the black blouse and leggings. Plus how killer are her louboutin thigh high boots! Again just like Elle Kim is wearing almost all 5 winter trends. The black on black looks great just like with Elle her browns/nude colours paired together look great.
Here I am wearing a faux fur vest from Raffinala. It's my mom's vest, she bought it from one of our local fashion shops. I really like this vest. It has a puffy body but it's form fitting so it doesn't give you the allusion of looking bigger. Then there is fur around the collar and once tied all the as you can see from the picture the front of the collar bends forward. My favourite part of the vest is the little pompoms hanging. Its the little detail like having the collar bend down and the pompoms that make this vest. The vest is a shiny chocolate brown.
2) Leggings is the second hottest winter trend. Some of you may be thinking how is that a winter trend but really it's an everyday trend! Leggings have been becoming increasingly more popular. There are so many different materials, colours and details that you can get now. There's even jeggings which are leggings that looks like jeans. When I walk through the mall it seems like every second person no matter the age is wearing leggings. Also I noticed that more and more girls are wearing leggings with shorter tops. Before people going to the gym would wear leggings as exercise pants with a short shirt. But now you can wear any kind of top with leggings. I still think leggings look the best with a long shirt over top especially since leggings are very revealing of all of our flaws so having a longer top may hide some unwanted imperfections. If you do not have a pair of leggings in your closet please please please go out and buy some.
Audrina Patridge is wearing 3/4 length leggings. This look is more of a workout look. More and more people wear this look out to run errands. It's the athletic version of leggings, the look says I'm going or just came from the gym and that I'm active. I like this look that Audrina is doing. She looks athletic but still chic with the layering, sunglasses and knit hat.
Fergie is wearing a snake skin design. These leggings are very cute. It's different than your usual black plain leggings. The snake skin design is very subtle yet against the light adds shine. I don't really like what she paired with her leggings, the leopard print shoes do not really go with the snake skin design and same with the old cut up shirt. But the leggings are very cute.
Hilary Duff is wearing gorgeous full length leopard print leggings. Animal prints are in this winter and so are leggings so why not do both into one. You have to watch out though when putting bold prints on your bottom half. If your thighs are bigger than you want to try and mask it with a solid colour to try and draw attention away from your biggest area. So if your biggest area are your thighs or butt then wear a solid colour. If you want to wear an aminal print wear a smaller print. If you wear a bigger print then it can make your legs and thighs looks bigger. The print size Hilary is wearing is a perfect size. However it doesn't go with her shirt.
Melanie C from the Spice Girls is wearing a liquid latex black leggings. I think these leggings could be really cute paired with the right outfit. I don't think they look good with the short pink top she is wearing. The only problem with these leggings is that since they are so shinny and give the appearance of being painted on they can make your thighs look really big. I would pair these leggings with a longer top to avoid making your thighs bigger than they are. This liquid look leggings are cute paired with the right outfit.
CONAN! These are the every so popular jeggings! Who says a man can't wear leggings. Conan O'Brien wore a pair of faded jeggings for an entire episode of his late night talk show. He looks real good in them. Go Team CoCo.
This is picture of my favourite pair of leggings. They are a cotton full length legging. The only thing with cotton leggings is that they stretch after wearing them. As you can see around the ankle they are stretched out and not form fitting around the ankle. But they are really comfy and soft.
These are two other pairs, the right pair is a brown full length and the left are a spandex 3/4 length in black.
This is a closer look at the tiny detail on the leggings. The brown leggings have a line, like a pleat going down the front of the leg. The black spandex has three silver buttons.
3) The third trend for winter is a sweater dress! When I went into Winners (I love that store, you can find designer clothes for cheap) there we're sweater dresses everywhere. There are so many different types of sweater dresses. Long or shorter, tight or loose, button up or slip on, it's endless. I suggest that everyone have a sweater dress, you can wear them with leggings which I think they look best with or even with jeans if it's a looser bulky dress or long sweater that you can button up.
Claudia Schiffer is wearing an open long sweater. These cover ups are very in. It adds style instead of wearing a sweater or jacket.
Victoria Beckham is wearing a long sweater dress that basically just looks like a long boyfriend sweater. I really like this look. It's a casual comfy but chic boyfriend look. She makes it more feminine with the killer tights. I love love love her tights they are different and a nice change that leggings. It makes the outfit more sexy. And those black pumps complete the look. You could easily wear this sweater dress with skinny jeans too or the liquid latex leggings that Mel C was wearing before would go perfect with this sweater.
Nicole Richie is wearing a classic sweater dress with sheer leggings that look almost like tights. What I love about this turtle neck sweater dress is the killer shoulder pads. It took this classic sweater dress to a haute couture fab sweater dress. This screams fashionista. It compliments her boho chic look that she's been wearing.
This is my mom's sweater dress. It's more of a long sweater like Claudia's but I like that you can button up the sweater to turn it into a sweater dress. It's meant to hang straight down. There isn't much shape to it but the back has a few pleats to add some detail. The shirt I am wearing under doesn't go with the sweater dress and I should have put my arms down to show how the sweater falls. But the picture of the sweater dress alone shows the shape and length. This looks great paired with the brown leggings and the brown knee high boots in the next section.
4) The fourth look for winter are knee high boots. It can either be just below the knee or thigh high boots but knee high boots are everywhere right now. You can get them in many different materials like suede, leather or fake leather for those of us on a budget! Unlike the fur boots that Elle was wearing these boots are tighter and hug your leg. You can wear them with leggings, tights, skinny jeans, dresses or skirts!
Blake Lively is wearing a plain classic knee high boot. What I like about these is that they look comfy, there isn't a big heal for those who are tall or can't walk in a heel. They look great with her jeans. They are the dressier version of a motorcycle boot which are also very in this season.
Kim K loves her thigh high boots. She has many different styles. If you go back to the picture of her in the faux fur section, she is wearing a pair of thigh highs. If you compare both pictures, she is actually wearing the same louboutin heel. However she changes the look completely by not zipping the boot up all the way. Here the boot has almost a pirate feel to it with the flaps on top. She made the boot very versatile! Love it!
Jennifer Lopez is wearing a suede thigh high boot and these are very thigh high. She is wearing with a white dress. If you want to wear thigh high boots with a dress make sure that the material like suede works well here because if you have a leather boot I think it would make the look, look trashy. You can easily look like a prostitute if you don't wear the boot the right way. I like them with leggings the most but J.Lo does this look very well.
This is the pair of brown boots that I said would look great with the brown leggings and buttoned up sweater dress. These are my mom's boots and they are gorgeous. The heel isn't big so it makes it easy to walk in and they are a brown suede with dark rich shinny brown trim and detail.
These are another pair of boots. They are flat with a little flat heel, one that you can't even notice. This is a more casual boot compared to the brown one. They look like riding boots and are very comfy.
5) The final look for this winter is scarves and big statement jewelry. Scarves are always in, summertime or winter but it's all about the print and length. Depending on the length you can tie a scarf so many different ways. I love that scarves have a different texture. material and print. A scarf can really change your entire outfit. It can also completely make your outfit from flab to fab! Look at the picture of Jessica Alba on three different ways she wears her scarf!
Here big statement jewelry is in! You see it in bold bib necklaces, chunky bracelets and oversized rings.
Eva Mendes is wearing a beautiful bib turquoise bib necklace. The colour looks amazing on her and it's quite the statement piece. It can really make the outfit. When you have a bold necklace it's best to do what Eva did and wear small earrings, if you wear big earrings it will look too heavy and too much, ruining the look.
Hilary Duff is wearing an oversized ring and chunky bracelets. Depending on the colour and shape you can make this look more casual like Hilary did or dress it up with sparkles for a red carpet event.
These are two pieces of jewelry that I have. The one on the left is a vintage bib necklace that use to be my grand-maman's. The necklace is over 60 years old. This necklace would be perfect for a dressy event like a wedding, charity event or an event like a red carpet. It would make a statement with a strapless dress and the earrings to the right.
The earrings are from Swarovski Bella Clear earrings. They are gorgeous and add the perfect amount of sparkle! The earrings come in a wide range of colour also such as gold, a pink hue and blue hue. If you don't like the hanging earring it also comes in studs!!
Katherine Heigl is wearing a plain white scarf. I like the way she wrapped it once around her neck and then lets it fall loosely. It's a good look if you are on the go. It's a casual look.
Jessica Alba: This is three different looks on how you can wear your scarf. She really knows how to wear her scarves. Look at the different materials and prints. I like referring back to this picture on how I should wear my scarf.
These are two different scarves that I have. The left is an animal print and it's just tied through the loop around my neck. The right is a silver sparkle with some fringe that's wrapped around my neck then tied in the front.
Those are the 5 hottest winter trends. Expect to see these trends carry into spring. Out of these 5 trends I suggest you absolutely have to have a pair of leggings and a few scarves!
-Karrah!
