barely there: nicole richie wears a brown shirt with black animal print on it. it adds a nice, subtle texture to her layered look.

subtle: add some glam to an all-black outfit with leapord print accessories, like these shoes on kim kardashian, or try a leopard handbag or belt.

2010 fall fashion trends: sneak peak

i know.  it’s still the middle of the summer and we don’t want to be thinking of fall weather right now.  but, it could be a good time to start setting money aside for when you go shopping in a couple months for some of the new fashion trends this fall.  here is a sneak peak at what’s coming for fall 2010, spotted on the runway and on celebs:

fringe: this trend has been around for a few seasons, but it will be even more popular this fall as an added accessory to different pieces in your wardrobe.  for example, nicole richie’s scarf is trimmed with fringe and vanessa hudgens has a fringe bag.  fringe will also be added to coats, pants, and jewelry.

prints: fall usually gets a little boring wearing solid colors, like black.  this fall, spice up your wardrobe with interesting prints, like the pant suit by akris and the  proenza schouler dress.

fur: this fall, full fur coats aren’t going to be so much the style (unless it’s a mix of fur color/print like the chloe coat).  instead, fur will be seen a lot as a trim on coats or sweaters, like the marc jacobs sweater.
