Top Fashion Trends of 2009

As the cold of winter gives way to a new year, Petticoat.com looks forward to some of the top upcoming fashion trends for 2009:

Bohemian Luxury is Back
Inspired by trends in Europe and New York, Gucci is shaping their early ‘09 collections around the Bohemian look. Featuring folksy trends, along with boots, large jewelry and agrarian shirts, the trend features a mixture of various fashion elements. The new “foho” trend (folk meets bohemian) is now defining the major fashion capitals from Milan to Los Angeles.

Plaid Patterns
While plaid come and went in the 90s, it’s now roaring back on the heals of a Dolce and Gabanna outfit. A fusion of modern looks with traditional tartan, the complete plaid outfit has extended beyond the runway to define a contemporary look. A complementary knit ware trend is back in full force, featuring exotic designs and patterns that will truly help you to stand out.

Minimalist Look
No longer relegated to interior design, minimalism is hitting the fashion world in full force this coming year. Simple, one piece outfits carry a strong design and appeal that transcends their simplicity: led by designers such as Jill Sander and Prada, monotone simplicity is here to stay.
