With the dawn of a new decade, it’s really exciting to imagine the fashion possibilities that might be brought along with it. I don’t think anyone ten years ago could have predicted all the current trends we enjoy.

It only takes two or three years for fashion revolutions to take place, so it’s advisable to focus mainly on what’s going to be happening in the very near future.

Let’s take a look at the hottest styles 2010 has in store for us. We’ll concentrate on women’s shoes, if that’s alright with you, because I just love them and writing about them is a pleasure for me. Wearing them is a big pleasure, too!

I have a shoe closet that’s just bursting at the seams. Let me tell you about the ones that are my favorites right now.

Anything designed by Christian Louboutin is hot these days. I love the reptile leathers in the range. They’re bright and exuberant, brash even, but they are full of character and show themselves off to great effect.

A fun boot style is the Roberto Cavalli ankle lace. It’s a shiny black leather boot with laces around the ankle and quite a high heel. You can wear these with different outfits, they’re really quite versatile.

Thigh-high heels are the latest newcomers to the fashion scene. I find them a bit of a trial to wear, but anyone who’s comfortable in them will look fantastic.

Lastly, we have the return of the Hunter rain boot. When it’s raining outdoors, rather than putting an old pair of sneakers on, you can stay fashionable with an attractive pair of Hunter Wellies.

On rainy days they’re my first choice because not only do they look good but they’re extremely comfortable, too.

Fashion is a hot topic in today’s era. Every moment some iconic figure is introducing something and the world is adopting it instantly and it is becoming fashion of that moment. Some other trend silently dies and it goes out of trend, often called retro.

Although we often use the terms interchangeably, we must realise that there is a big difference between fashion, style, fad and trend. In this article, we shall explore those differences.

Fashion, which we already described, is the way of dressing and presenting yourself like the world is doing right now. In 1960s, the side parted neatly combed hairs and bell bottom pants, along with striped jacket became the fashion all over the world. However, that fashion is dead for good now. Thus, fashion is very much contemporary. The same can be said about trends as well. In fact, many designers insist that fashion and trend are really the same with fashion being the trend of dressing.

Style, on the other hand is a different cup of tea. Firstly, it doesn’t depend on time, it depends on the person. A style is often called the permanent fashion of any individual. Continuing the example above, if someone decides to wear bell bottom and striped jackets all his life, starting from 1960s, irrespective of how the fashion has changed, then that way of dressing is his personal style. You might remember how Gregory Peck stayed stylish and denied to go fashionable all his life. Formal dress at work can also be called a style if the present trend is to wear jeans to work.

Finally, fad is a very short lived fashion. In a film, we see the lead actor wearing a flashy arm band and start wearing it till the next film came out three weeks later and we dropped that habit for another, then it is indeed a fad. Another characteristic of a fad is it is generally not the full way of dressing but a part of full dressing instead.

People generally look up to iconic figures to start a trend while really rich and high class people attend fashion shows to see what is the latest the fashion world has to offer. While the USA has managed to top in almost every segment of life, Italy and France has still managed to be the fashion capital of the world, especially the city of Paris and Venice.

When you head out to the market, you will be surprised to find the variety of clothing options available these days. There are infinite styles and colors in most types of clothing. You could buy all of them if you had a king-sized closet and a millionaire dad, but since most people don’t have both and prefer to be smart while selecting which clothes to buy for their daily wear, it is best to mix and match articles of clothing for a unique look. One of such articles is leather jackets for men.

Men’s leather jackets can go with gloves, boots and trousers to give you a model-like look. Here are a few styles that you can try to pull off with your leather jacket.

1) Classic Dark Blue jeans and Black jacket: One of the oldest styles of matching clothes to get a handsome look is matching blue jeans with a black jacket. By old, it doesn’t mean that this style has come from the middle ages. This style is a biker’s favorite and has been used for more than a decade. The dark colors complement one another, earning you everyone’s admiration. As both leather jackets and jeans are tough clothing, they are mostly worn together for hiking and road trips. For footwear, black boots would give a perfect biker look. Even brown boots would look good with dark blue jeans and a black jacket.

2) Light blue jeans with light brown jacket: Light colors also look good on some people. Light blue jeans with a light brown leather jacket are a beautiful combination for men who have light brown hair. Brown flight and bomber jackets also look great with light blue jeans especially during winter. These colors are also ideal for men during summer because the scorching heat can be unbearable on the road.

3) Black jeans and black jacket: Unlike blue jeans, if you mix black jackets with black jeans, you will get a bad boy look. Add a black belt, and you will get an even more dashing look. These are ideal for tall men with fair complexion. The same colored jeans and jacket give a ‘one-piece look’, and displays a man’s height in a very attractive way. Hollywood movies and TV shows are full of entertainers who wear black jeans and jackets. This style was popularized by movies like “The Matrix” and personalities like The Undertaker the wrestler.

4) Dark blue jeans and dark brown jacket: This style owes its popularity to Hugh Jackman’s ‘wolverine’ character in the X-Men movies. This combination gives a great look, especially to men with dark brown hair. Dark brown boots also go well with these clothes.

Matching clothes sensibly is a great way to dress up for the road. Apart from those mentioned above, there are numerous other ways to match men’s leather jackets with the rest of your clothes. You can also make combination with belts, boots, leather gloves and leather coats. The possibilities are infinite; all you need is creativity and fashion sense.

An increasing number of men and women have expressed a personal preference for this type of jewelry; with many men preferring it because it is not as glitzy as the traditional yellow gold rings. More men and women are now choosing white gold rings for either an engagement or wedding.

When white gold rings are made, another type metal such nickel or silver will be blended with the gold. For instance, an 18K ring would contain 75% gold and 25% of another metal. The reason why another alloy is mixed in is because white is not a natural gold color. Once the metal is added it will become white. The metal blend is normally given a coat of rhodium to bring out the white color. Another reason why metals are mixed in is that 24K or pure gold, needs to be blended with other metals so that it will harden.

White gold rings are moderately priced so many people will find them quite affordable. Yellow gold rings and platinum rings tend to be more costly. The appealing look of this striking jewelry makes them very popular with many ring experts describing them as sophisticated and modern looking. Today, many young couples are choosing white gold rings for their engagements and weddings. They are also very stylish and go well with many types of outfits, whether they are worn for a casual occasion or a formal occasion.

There are a number of benefits to wearing white gold rings. They display the diamond in a more attractive setting than the traditional yellow gold. The gold does not affect the cut and clarity of the diamond. The diamond looks stunning against the gold. They can also handle the wear and tear of everyday activities because they are more durable and scratch resistant. You will worry less about damage and the ring will require less maintenance. However, over a long period of continuously being worn on a daily basis, the white can start to change to a yellowish green. It can also become dull looking. If this happens, you should take it to a jeweler so that it can be re-coated.

Today, there are a wide variety of different types and styles of this stunning jewelry that contain beautiful gemstones such as diamonds. Whether it is for an engagement, wedding, any other special occasion, or to add as an accessory to a trendy outfit, a white gold ring will continue to be the original leader in ring choices.

Gold rings are an elegant addition to any hand. They look beautiful and enhance the beauty and shape of the hand. That is why gold rings are some of the most popular purchases made by people.

You will find a large variety of gold rings in the market. The most commonly sought after rings are engagement rings and wedding rings. Engagement rings are generally gem studded. They may hold one large stone at the center or may have an elaborate setting that looks stunning. On the other hand, wedding rings were plain gold bands in the past. They looked quite sober and were firm testaments of the wearer’s loyalty and faithfulness. But nowadays, you can see a proliferation of delightful styles that have converted the boring band into a circle of delight. You have plain gold bands, in yellow and white, with attractive borders and designs. Then there are two tone gold rings, where white and yellow gold are interspersed to form eye-catching designs. Of course, the plain gold ring is still a huge crowd puller, with many people opting for white or yellow bands. One of the main reasons for selecting the classic wedding ring band is the fact that these complement any jewelry and clothing style. Some couples even get plain bands and engrave their names on them. If the woman is already wearing an engagement ring, she may prefer a gold wedding ring that complements the engagement ring. Fortunately, there are enough choices out there to suit any personality and style.

These days, you can see more and more men wearing gold rings. Men’s gold rings are a little different from the typical ring for women. For one thing, men’s rings are broader and more stolid in style as compared to the delicate and thin selections that dominate the women’s style. Men’s rings typically have very simple designs whereas women’s rings are ornate and stylistic. Women love attractive stones while men go for solid gold or for birth stones like diamonds, emerald, sapphire and topaz.

These days, many people like to shop for funky gold rings. Some of the popular rings include animal rings featuring cutely decorated elephants or dolphins. These rings are embellished with stones and may even come in a variety of colors like yellow, white and burnt orange. Another favorite with women of all ages and preferences is the gold rings set with stones. While some women prefer a single large stone at the center of a design, others go for a number of stones laid out decoratively to form a beautiful pattern. When combined with matching earrings and necklaces or pendants, these gold rings can really catch the eye and make others go green with envy.

Most gold finger rings are available in 18k or 14k gold. These are durable because they contain enough quantities of alloy to ensure that the rings can withstand pressure and rough conditions. 14k gold is best for gem studded varieties. Since gold rings in 14k gold are relatively cheap, it is possible for people to buy different varieties of rings which they can mix and match as they wish.
