Looking Different Simply by Accessorizing October 18, 2007
Posted by wenbi in : Fashion , add a commentttnet.net - [2006/12/04]
By the second half of 2006, fashion apparel will become more streamlined and subdued. Opulence is out; understatement is in, alongside quality, elegance, and a cool classic look. In the wake of a long period with too much opulence, color, shine and crazy fashion design, our mind and eyes are itching for some peace, elegance, sophistication, and a different kind of luxury. A return to a more classic way of dressing just enables a sense of getting everything right. Sporty casualness maintains en vogue with a playful mix of casual and classic chic. The fashion of apparel changes all the time, so does that of accessories. Apparel accessories belong to a vogue-sensitive business that fares well in both strong and weak economic climates. Despite of the soaring prices of energy and precious metals, consumers even can¡¦t afford a whole new outfit and they are also capable of updating their look at a minimal cost with accessories. We want the extra values of modern and high-tech innovation to be experienced for less money.
Here, we also see apparel accessories improving on all coverage, from fundamental items to super luxury. Some hot items making a comeback for the ladies include wedge heels, retro British leather shoes, unstructured hobo bags, saddle multi-pocketed bag in suiting fabric, tweed caps and, of course, iPod cases, a just-right example to illustrate how accessories react to trends rapidly and overwhelmingly.
Handbags
Handbags are one of the best-selling accessories. They are vital pieces of equipment for a woman as she uses to carry all her most crucial possessions. Handbags have plenty of accessories such as pockets, dangling charms, key rings, tassels, leather appliqué, free form logo attachments, and metal and non-mental ornaments as buckles, gold and steel tone studs, crystal beads and leather rouleau bows. In leather handbag sector, apart from beige, white tones and pearlized finishes, metallics are the spokesmen of “neutral” trend. The top sellers are bronze, gold and pewter tones. The fashionable oversized handbags are often textured and embellished. The texture primarily includes the use of furs and tweeds yet now also includes knitting, macramé, Suffolk patchwork puffs, lace or crochet, leather gold studded surfaces, woven, etc. For esthetic reason, some bags are embellished with tassels, ties and bold, or gold hardware details such as turnlock closures, chains and zippers, eyelets and over embroidered with raffia, and embedded with gemstones such as turquoise.
Hats & Caps
Hat business showed somewhat a downturn in 2005 years as hats were reduced to an impulse buy as compared to handbags. The neutral trend is also seen on hats, basically in metallics or more subtle metallic flecks. Some are also blended with straw such as fabric, embroidery, beading or sequin touches. Fabrics like jacquard or damask enable a vintage touch. Cloches shape the fashion, also brilliant in vintage style. Felt fabrics with minimal embellishments steal the hearts of wearers. Natural materials and hand-crafted techniques are quite stylish in 2006 in accents on straws.
Shoes & Boots
Many shoes in velvet or suede, some also decorated with diamante create sumptuous footwear with a decadent feel. Evening sandals have feather and decorative jewel trims. Retro shoes have lots of lavish fur or are laced thirties style. Shoes of bamboo stilt style wedge stacks and wedges grant interesting footwear options. Denim rope on skirt hems keeps in vogue and we also see this influence on the designs of sandals and shoes. For wearable elevation, wedges or thicker stacked heels in layered wooden, cork or fabric covered are smart choices. Shoes are sometimes in fabrics such as brocade and compact tweeds.
Boots are the big footwear statement. People are looking for boots with laces, fur cuffs, stud eyelets, fur up the sides, knee boots, crocodile boots, moccasin slouch boots with ikat and Inca designs, boots with grommets and biker buckles, flat boots, heeled boots and wedge.
Belts & Buckles
Belts are largely spurred by ready-to-wear trends such as peasant skirts, blousy tops and coats. Farewell to years of hip-hugging styles, the new waistline is right under the bosom, focused with a belt. Meanwhile, as jeans are crammed into everyone’s wardrobe, belts greatly benefited as a must-have item, both in jean belt styles and in wider contour belts worn below belt loops. Now, belts have moved up from the hip and are on the waist and mostly waist cinching statement pieces as well. There is a wide range of trendy belt styles such as embellished buckles, woven straps, patchwork leathers and sash belts. Several belts are made from grosgrain ribbon to enable a new look for a long established material. Vintage-style leathers and Western-style buckles are evergreen options. The newest fashion tends to be shifting to straps with unadorned metal buckles and tie closures.
Scarves
Scarves in a ravishing material, wonderful complexion offer an instant way to catch attention with fashion colors and mix. Now they have come back, ideal for all ages. As for prints and patterns, floral motifs and geometrics are warmly welcome while textured solids with a form of embellishment such as appliqués, and beadwork are still popular. Satin beaded sashes are sold well as sometimes doubled as embellished skinny scarves. Often crochet is a dominant theme as texture, detail and dimension turn more crucial than patterns.
Furs
Furs are the token of youthfulness, attractiveness, sex-appeal and a sense of well-being. The three mainstream designs are classicism, purism and modernism. Classicism emphasizes more on means the silhouette than on the up-to-date decorative elements to present design aesthetic and fidelity. Classic fur types include mink, chinchilla, Persian lamb and fox, in minimalism design, clear lines and the latest processing techniques. Romantic purism combines a clean, classic line with a subtle touch of romantic or folkloristic elements in lightweight sheared furs like Persian lamb. Modernism seeks to break the barriers of tradition and explores new dimensions in fur design, such as an experiment with unexpected material combinations and unusual silhouettes, etc.
