Kenzo collection of accessories for winter 2010 is a very special one. It includes unusual handbags made of fur, suede and leather, embellished with sequins and adorned with clips and rivents. The technique of patchwork is used beautifully too. The colors are bright and very fresh and youthful.

Belts come in ordinary designs but there are some eccentric ones as well. I just love those with fur on buckles!

Shoes are nice but seem to be too dangerous to walk in. The platforms are huge and don’t look steady enough. The fur trimming looks chic.

Hats are very warm and stylish, but you can’t wear them with your classic coat, of course.

As for the gloves, I love the pair that is of elbow legnth. It will look great with a short-sleeved coat.

As you know a trendy hat can completley change your look. Also it can complete and diverse your style.

You can treat yourself to romantic berets, daring kepis, fedoras, newsboy caps, schoolboy caps, cadet caps, suiting caps and of course femine hats!

You can make your choice from various styles and shapes by famous fashion brands.

The fashion trends for hats Fall 2009-Winter 2010 do not present anything new, furthermore, many trends keep to the key hat fashion looks of 2008.

Have a good beach time!

There are a few things you need to do when you want to select the right hat.

Take your time

Actually few women like wearing hats in everyday life. As a result, when they really need to don one, they are up a stump. Don’t feel afraid. Choosing the style, color and shape that’s right for you and your outfit, isn’t difficult if you know how, but it takes time.

Think of a large department store that offers a good selection of hats. When you are there try on every single style. Look at yourself from every angle to make sure you look good from each side.

Opt for the right color

Hat color is significant as it can make you look sensational and knock several years off your age or do quite an opposite thing.

Don’t try to match the hat to your entire outfit. As long as the color complements one of the shades in the attire or your accessories, it will look beautifully.

What really matters is choosing a tone that suits your complexion. For example, an apple green hat will give pale skin a green tinge. Fuchsia tone will make you red in the face. Pastel colors including cream, lilac and dove grey look fantastic on younger women but are not flattering at all for ladies over 30.

Take into account your face shape

A flattering hat should complement the shape of your face. If your face is round, choose something with a broad brim or small, pull-on hat. A brim wider than the face will balance it. For a long face, opt for some kind of softness or movement such as feathers, or an adorned headband. Square-faced women need an asymmetric hat which will balance their jawline. In case you have a heart shaped face, feel free to choose among all styles.

Match the style of your outfit

Matching the style of your outfit is of utmost importance. If you want to wear a floaty summer dress, the best option will be a soft hat with drapery or ribbons. For a tailored dress or suit, choose a hat with structure and sharp, sleek lines such as a boater or trilby. You can even go shopping in your outfit or in something with a similar neckline to find a hat that looks perfectly.

Find a hat appropriate for the occasion

If you are invited to a wedding choose a nice fascinator or a little pill box with a veil. Such a hat will look just right to the occasion. But in case you want and should look extraordinary and unlike others, opt for a hat that is a real statement.

Wear your hat before the occasion

Treat your hat like a new pair of shoes. Wear it at home for some time just to ensure it fits well and you feel comfortable in it. Check for possible problems. If you think it can be blown off, sew a comb in the back which can attach to your hair or use hair grips.

Choose how you will position your hat

Though there’s no right or wrong way to wear a hat people consider it as more appropriate to push their hat right to the back of the head. This isn’t always the most flattering look. That is why you need to experiment before the big day. Place your hat on in front of the mirror then move it around until you get the most attractive look.

I hope with these tips you are armed to make a great choice and find the hat which looks terrific on you!

Treacy says:

Her assistant called me up asking for hair pin and I sent her a message back asking if she wanted a hat to go with it. It turns out that she did – she wanted lots of them!”

Taylor met the royal milliner at a London hotel. While he tried to pick flattering hats for her to wear, the 81-year-old screen star entertained him with her songs and cocktails.

Treacy revealed:

We spent two evenings at her suite at The Dorchester hotel fitting them, looking in the mirror. She even sang a song for us and ordered us cocktails. She doesn’t need an excuse to buy that many, she invented celebrity extravagance.”

Treacy hats are very popular and Mrs Taylor isn’t the only celebrity to have requested one recently. Among other hat lovers we can mention Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Princess Eugenie, who both wore the creations by the exclusive designer at the Ascot horse races this week.

This year was not an exception and as you can see by the pictures the hats were more than just unusual.

Let’s start from Princess Eugenie’s green hat. I just don’t understand why she had chosen this one for wear. It really looks like “a giant garden pea” perched on the front of the girl’s head. And the hat doesn’t go well to the whole attire. A strange option…

Princess Beatrice wore a subtle monochrome hat trimmed with one long feather. The hat looked elegant but absolutely invisible next to her sister’s garish creation. Princess Anne looked sophisticated wearing a simple lace-trimmed hat.

Penny Lancaster, a 38 year-old model, picked a simple wide-brimmed purple hat that looked great together with her apparel. Model Erin O’Connor was very classy wearing a nice black hat.

Other hats were much more elaborate. For example, racegoer Anneka Tanaka-Svenska appeared with a gorgeous construction on the head, woven from plaited blonde hair and laced with pearls. The masterpiece (I can’t find another word for such a creation!) was made by milliner and Britain’s Got Talent judge Louis Mariette.

Another huge bonnet that made the wearer stagger while walking was made of 800 marshmallows. According to rumors the project took three weeks to complete.

Jade Taylor, the inventor of the pink creation, confessed the hat was so heavy that she had to take it off for a rest at regular intervals during the racing.

The 19-year-old said:

I just love marshmallows. I thought it would be something a bit different but I never realized it would be this heavy.’

There were a few sweet-lovers, including a trio of chocoholics who wore hats inspired by their favorite Quality Street sweets, and a girl who topped her outfit with a giant ice-cream cone.

I could write lots more about those wonderful headpieces but you can see everything yourselves. Look and enjoy!

Now we will speak about hat trends and you will see that hats which are in style are too democratic and slipshod. I wonder if designers wished to create styles showing people don’t care much the whole planet is in trouble.

Well, generally if you feel you don’t want to purchase something new for the season just wear your classic fedora hat, a cap or a kerchief – all those which have been with us for a while. But what you have to forget is a beret, put it deeper into your closet for better times.

Let’s turn to trends at last. Hat Trends for Spring-Summer 2009!

Panama hat

Panama hat is a new thing for us and we don’t know exactly how to wear it yet. It looks great but you should wear it with chic as if you are wearing an elegant wide-brimmed hat. Otherwise you run the risk of looking a bit silly.

Panama hats are charming and they remind me of the 60s and the 70s. This hat style goes well with trenches, sporty windbreakers, denim clothes, cashmere cardigans, etc.

Fedoras in men style

As we have already mentioned this spring we see fedora hats again and now they are more in men style.

This item of our wardrobe makes us look confident and modern.

Safari style hats

Another hot trend of spring and summer is an oversized hat in safari style. It also looks pretty mannish with a high crown, wide brims and a natural color palette – sand grey, terracotta, khaki, greenish or beige hues.

Such hats can be successfully paired with rucksacks.

70s style hats

In case you want something more feminine designers offer us hats in the 70s style. They have rounded crowns and soft wide brims.

These hats are for those who like looking womanly.

Straw hats

For the hottest season designers offer us cute straw hats in style of the 20s. They are practical and interesting.

Turbans

This super hit will be taken by majority of women with alert. First of all because turban is not easy to put on, even if you buy the ready one.

Secondly it is not so simple to wear. Your neck, shoulders, turn of the head – these all should be held with pride and dignity.

Besides, we all have some idea of where to wear a turban – this can hardly be an office, local store, party, etc.

But designers seem to wish to make us forget about all those stereotypes concerning the turbans. And as a result we see turbans worn with trenches, jackets, denim garments and other clothes in spring-summer collections.

Hair accessories

In spring many women prefer to take off any headwear and show the beauty of the hair. Designers have plenty of ideas on how to decorate the hair with little pretty items.

Well, let’s begin from circlets adorned with ribbons and bows. Nice fabrics, pink and pastel colors make them look cute and exquisite.

By the way, bows are of much importance now on various hair items but they are no longer as voluminous as before, they are much flatter but still very feminine.

Artificial flowers used in styling are very popular too and look great both on short and long hair.
That is all about the hottest trends in hat fashion. Find the hat that looks best on you and make your female friends envy!

When we talk about men accessories it is quite clear that they should just complement the whole image adding sophistication, chic and elegance.

For example, a belt of high quality can be enough to create a good look. But the watch richly encrusted with diamonds will hardly be in place.

So, the trendiest accessories for men for these spring and summer are the following:

Belts

The belt is going to be a hot trend for the warm season.

And it will be worn not just the way we are used to see it but over the trenches, cardigans or any other clothing item. It can match the color of the garments or go in contrast with it.

Hats

Panamas will become 100% popular as well as wide-brimmed hats in Latino style. They will serve both as a practical headpiece and a part of your image.

Sunglasses are a must in spring and summer. No matter which style of sunglasses you prefer you’ll look stylish and hot when wearing them.

The most popular design for this season is a la Jack Nicholson’s sunglasses with grey matted lenses as well as horn-rimmed and multicolored-rimmed sunglasses.

The fact men’s fashion gets closer to the women’s one is not new and accessories such as men’s shawls and decorative beads, which were chosen by many designers for the forthcoming seasons, just prove that once again.

Handbags

Bags will become a necessary item for any fashion-conscious man. Designers offer us small men’s clutches, beautiful baskets, middle-sized handbags and even tiny shoulder bags.

They are classic and crazy, elegant and extravagant, but no matter which style you chose it will look great!

Dear girls, there’s a great variety of trends now offered by the designers at the New York Fashion Week 2009. And here are 5 must-have-top-garbs for the Spring 2009.

Floppy Wide Brimmed Hat

This is the first must-have accessory in your closet in Spring! No need to say it looks gorgeous! It will certainly shape your image into the glorious and glamour one.

The trendy Floppy Wide Brimmed Hat covers you with some kind with mystery as far as it half-hides and half-opens your face! It’s forsooth so feminine!

The Floppy Hat will perfectly go with short sets or with flared skirts and slim-silhouette-cocktail-dresses. All trendy colors are available!

Ruffle Tops

I think you’ll agree with me that the ruffle top makes the ordinary grey classic costume look tender and trendy! This season they are popular even more than in the previous one.

Don’t hesitate and try the ruffle top. The sort of these tops doesn’t need extra accessories otherwise you’ll get a quite ridiculous appearance. The chiffon ruffle top with a pencil skirt or jeans or shorts is extremely trendy for Spring 2009.

Double Breasted Vest

Fashion world offers us double breasted vests for one more season. I consider this garb to be appropriate for the numerous occasions.

The double breasted vest is the must-have for Spring 2009 because this men’s garment looks incredibly nice on women combining the tender women’s nature with the strong men’s character. Put the ruffle sleeveless top under the vest and you’re ready to go to the office!

Moreover, it’s a great fashion top for the ladies with petite breasts – it emphasizes the breasts making them look bigger – one more women’s beauty secret!

Asymmetrical tops

Here’s also one way to show up your playful nature! The asymmetrical top is the kind of clothes that allows exposing and hiding the part of your body at the same time.

Spring is the time for sun and warmth together with rain and clouds. So let your image be like spring – controversial!

Take the Milly collection from Michelle Smith as an example…

Smoke sleeve tops

About five or six years ago, princess shirts were wildly popular. These were the shirts that resembled the types of shirts that old world princesses would wear, with flared arms and bottoms. That style is making somewhat of a comeback with smoke sleeve shirts.

These great looking shirts are pinched around the wrist and then have a wide flared part that covers part of your hand.

These smoke sleeve shirts will look great tucked into a pair of jeans or shorts with a nice, attractive large belt.

This post is about how to choose a hat if you are petite.

Don’t think that hats make you look even shorter. If you make an effort and select the hat that fits you well you’ll look perfectly.

So, here are some things you should take into consideration:

1. Face shape. If you have a long face choose wider hats with curled or floppy brims and avoid narrow brims, which can add length to your face.

If your face is round choose hats with high brims and angular shapes, avoid round, circular, or floppy-shaped hats and always choose hats that are wider than your face.

You are lucky if you have an oval face as you can get away with almost any style of hat. Experiment with a variety of styles to find what works best for you

2. Your height. Take into consideration your height as it is very important that your headwear match your figure proportions.

3. Choose hats with a small brim and low crown. The brims should not be wider than your shoulders.

4. Avoid big hats, which can be overpowering to small frames.

5. If you are a bit plump your hat should not be too small.

If your hat and hairstyle are perfectly combined you are a focus of attention. Thus, wearing a hat remember the following:

1. Long flowing hair does not look good under the hat if you are petite. It makes the figure look too long.

2. Long hair looks more elegant in a top hair-do (in this case you have to choose a bigger hat) or an up-do.

3. The best variant is short or shoulder-length hair brushed smoothly.

If worn correctly a hat can make a short woman look taller:

1. Don’t wear it on the back of your head, it looks like a nimbus.

2. Wear it down to your eyebrows. It will force you raise your head higher instinctively, stretch your neck and straighten your shoulders, thus looking taller visually.

Choosing the colour of your hat remember that black and white hats look good only on girls with dark hair and fair complexion. Those who have dark-blond hair can wear grey, chocolate, beige and brown hats.

As for the girls with fair hair – they can choose sand-coloured or coffee-coloured hats.

Well, ladies, winter is around the corner and you cannot do without a hat. Keeping in mind all mentioned above make your choice and look perfect!
