This year in couture,there were many designers who went "20's" on us. It was clothing from the 20's redone that really stuck out! I loved them and I love that era so it was great for me. The hats are a great part of the 1920's and the suits for women, the pants. It was a classy time.
There are a lot of designers new collections focused on all out dressy as well. There is s movement among designers to get rid of the "jeans on every person," trend who are showing slacks that are relaxed, cut low, and they hope they will take the place of the jeans that all women seem to be married to at this time.

Myself, I'm not a jeans woman, nor was I a jeans girl. I am a dress woman, myself. I just feel freer and more relaxed in a dress with as little underneath as possible!

But, yes, the couture trends trickle down to the masses in about 3 to 4 years, or sometimes a bit faster, as is said in "The Devil Wears Prada," so it will take soem time to see women change their clothing into the twenties vibe.

Capes were all over the runway some years ago but are not just getting to middle America.

it's funny how long it takes the big designers to influence most women, the years, but it's true, it takes that long and they start the trends as well as the color combinations that will become popular.

If you see a woman who wears upper, upper line clothing, her clothing will look almost strange to women. This is because of the lag time between the collections and the public.

To see the cutting edge of fashion and where it's going, one can go to Style.com. There you may also build a "look book," that you can refer to when you are shopping to remind you of shapes and colors you like. I always go through the designs of my favorite designers and make a lookbook every season to put me in the frame of mind to buy what I like.
