Dissecting the trends: What will we be wearing in 2010?

Well, we’ve decided what 2009 trends we never want to see again – including cut-off jeans (especially worn over tights) and furry vests.

But what is it we’ll be wearing in 2010? The Spring runways were blooming with good ideas, as usual, but only a handful of the trends we see each season truly take root in our closets. Will we be donning lingerie-inspired pieces, as seen at John Galliano? Or perhaps a gussied-up sweatsuit, a la  Alexander Wang?

It’s too soon to tell. But here are a few runway trends we’re hoping have legs (and trickle down into the H&M before we can say “copyright infringement.”)

donna

Donna Karan’s cool neutrality

* Neutral Colors: Donna Karan, Celine and Narciso Rodriguez were among the designers to make slate, sand and stone look as sophisticated as saffron, cyan and salmon for Spring. We plan to don our pale pink frocks with jet-black cardies and supa-dupa high heels for a neat-o photo-negative look.

Chris Benz

Chris Benz’ louche pantsuit

*The Slouchy Pants Suit: L.A. transplants Chris Benz, Band of Outsiders and 3.1 Phillip Lim all showed PJ-style pants suits comprised of tapered pleated trousers and tunic-like jackets. They not only look devil-may-care cool, but also hella comfy.

Balmain

Balmain’s fall-out-shelter chic

* Post-Apocalyptic Dressing: Because some days you just want to be dark and slouchy and pretend you’re in the Matrix. Thankfully, a clutch of designers fond a way to luxe-up the urchin look — including Balmain — with glitz and creative tailoring.

    Thank you for your great and useful article.

    We see only some of the trends on runways. Actually, there is more than we see on runways. This springtime generally include pastel colors and soft-looking but you can also wear ripped jeans or ruffles.
