There are some styles we wish had never surfaced, but alongside were a lot of fun trends to walk last year's runways too. Here's a list of what we think is cute enough to carry through to 2010:
Plaids: Put away the thoughts of burly lumberjacks and little houses on the prairie. Modern plaids are feminine and modern, often in lovely muted colours. The very epitome of casual chic, this particular trend was made popular by young starlets like Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus. Pair your plaids with classic blue jeans and pumps for a classic look.
Feminine Embellishments: Beads, sequins, rhinestones, and embroidery - the fashion world has fallen in love with frilly bits and we're never going back. Everything in moderation, of course. It's not recommended that you start swimming in Swarovskis, but small accents throughout your ensemble add a bit of old Hollywood glam.
Patent: Posh and polished, this is one of the hottest trends of the year. There's nothing quite as sexy as a girl in gloss. Spring style is taking a darker turn this year, so keep this edgy theme for future fashion dos.
Asymmetry: Off-balance is far from out. '09 saw an influx of sexy slants to classic styles and the skewed angle is still going strong, especially in evening-wear. Asymmetry is a simple way to create interest in an outfit and often has serious slimming capabilities when worn right.
Menswear for Women: Who knew androgyny could be so alluring? The balance has shifted and now the women are the ones wearing the pants. Fitted blazers, suspended trousers, crisp button-downs, and vests are all making an appearance. The trend still carries a feminine element with the subtle application of ruffles, statement accessories, and keeping with femme-friendly cuts, but this look runs strong on several levels.
