If you want to stay on top of the latest fashion trends and styles, look no further. I have created this list of the hottest fashion trends and styles to help you avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

First on the list, high waisted skirts. A classic in itself, a high waisted skirt looks flattering on any woman.

Next on the list, trouser pants. Trouser pants are great to wear to the office, and when worn in combination with a smart looking jacket, they look even better. But trouser pants don’t stop at the office. You can wear them in the evening with a sweater and still look great.

Ray Ban sunglasses are the in thing with celebrities and the stars. They’re simple yet elegant frames make them an instant classic.

And finally, the Bob. It seems that everyone from Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, ad Katie Holmes are sporting this structured hairstyle, making it one of the hottest trends at the moment. See also Jackets

This article continues from article of Trends of the 1970’s. Enjoy

Fashion continues to evolve from decade to decade, creating its own unique fashion trends and statement. The 1970’s were no different in sense that they created their own unique fashion legacy. However, the 70’s may have been a defining decade for fashion, and is seen by many as an anything goes decade.

Mini skirts, maxi skirts and hot pants could all be found in the closets of women. The empire line dress was very popular, coming in both the mini skirt style and knee length style. Evening wear was usually a halter top in combination with evening pants or a maxi skirt. Styles ranged from anything from clunky and big to feminine and soft. The 70’s was a time of great political importance, with feminist protests, the Vietnam War, and Watergate inspiring designers to create cutting edge, yet comfortable items.

The 1970’s saw many fashion changes and innovations for both men and women.  In 1972, Nike was established.  Nike had a very strong site, although the athletic craze was not as big as it is today.  Running shoes become a more popular choice for both men and women as they were comfortable, long lasting, casual, and could be worn around the house or out on the town.  Other fashion trends included boas, slinky shirts, as well as blouses, all of which became popular with celebrities and musicians.

People also began experimenting with their hair.  Popularized by Farrah Fawcett, hair styles were generally long and straight, with wings that took hours of styling with a straightening iron, curling iron, mousse, and hairspray.  Any physical activity would result in a ruined hairstyle.   Afro perms also became popular as they needed little maintenance and only a pick to fluff them.

When most people think of accessories, they think of jewelry, purses, and maybe their shoes.  But how many of us think of a jacket as an accessory.  The truth is, a jacket can be the perfect accessory to any outfit.  Additionally, a jacket can also be used to cover some figure flaws; maybe you have some unflattering weight around your stomach or bottom.  Plus, jackets will never go out of style. 

A jacket is also a good way to update your outfit without having to spend a fortune.  Take a new jacket and an old skirt and there you have it, a totally new outfit, but at an affordable price.  Additionally, a vintage jacket adds personality and pizzazz to your outfit, and is a great way to accessorize.  So if you are looking to update an old outfit, or maybe you just want to add to your wardrobe, a jacket is a great way to do it.
