WHAT'S IN, WHAT'S OUT? - 2010 FASHION

As seen on January 11, 2010 our Marketing & Sponsorship Director, Lisa Stricker, presenting New Year Fashions on WLS Channel 7 ABC.

It’s the New Year – time for “out with the old, in with the new.” Fashion is no exception. Every year we see some old favorites (along with a few looks we couldn’t wait to get rid of) replaced by new trends. This doesn’t mean you have to give up favorite wardrobe pieces, but a few carefully selected substitutions can go a long way toward updating your style for the New Year.

OUT: Short sleeved, Cropped Jackets
IN: Belted, Long Cardigans
Mia available at A’GACI.
This is a great look for anything from a day of shopping to a casual day at the office. The long cardigan with the belt is a staple wardrobe piece that can be worn over a number of outfits. Dress it up by wearing it over a work dress or pencil skirt. Dress it down by wearing it over a long t-shirt, with leggings and flat boots. Mix and match different belt and pant combinations for an endless number of looks.
Dress $30
Cardigan $40
Belt $13
Boots $35
Hat $12
Total - $130


OUT: Relaxed Fit & Flare Jeans for Men
IN:Slim-Fit & Straight-Leg Jeans
Charlie available in H&M.
Wear straight-leg jeans dressed up, with a button up and sweater, or dressed down as Charlie is wearing them. These are a great fit jean for every body type. The lay of the pants can be paired with any shoe type: sneakers, loafers and even boots. Pair a dark wash slim-fit jean with a blazer for a great “Casual Friday” at the office look.
Jeans $50
White long-sleeve $13
Plaid shirt $25
Total Look - $ 88


OUT: High-Waisted Jeans for Women
IN: “Jeggings”
Carrie available in H&M.
“Jeggings” (jean leggings) are casual, comfortable denim look that can be paired with anything from a long t-shirt, to a dressy blouse or jacket. Jeggings are great for tucking into flat boots. They are paired here with another popular item for 2010: Sharp-Shouldered Blazer. Blazers are a great way to add trendiness to any look, casual or dressy. The sharp, structured shoulders make the look edgier.
Jeggings $20
Long t-shirt $13
Blazer $50
Total Look (minus the shoes) - $83


OUT: Full-zip Sweaters
IN: Preppy Cardigans
Troy available in Lacoste.
The preppy cardigan is ideal over a polo or button up long-sleeve. This look can be dressed down by wearing the cardigan over a tee-shirt. The white lining along the buttons and neckline gives the look a nautical, casual feel. It’s also a great transitional sweater from a winter to a summer wardrobe.
Cardigan $165
Polo $92
Jeans $130
Shoes $120
Total Look (without Shoes) - $378


OUT: Houndstooth Skirts
IN:Full Skirts
Hilary available in XXI Forever.

This is a fun, girly look for a night on the town. The full skirt is flattering on all body types and can be paired with many different tops, from casual tanks to long sleeve blouses. It’s also great to match with trendy boots as Hilary has, or with more traditional pumps.
Skirt $29
Tank $32
Boots $29
