The Handbag Style Trends For 2010
A woman bag is the element of clothing that can either complete your style, or spoil your outfit like the red-eye effect spoils a cute photo.
A serious approach to the handbag choice is a must for any girl and woman. So, before you choose your new handbag, have a look at some trends for handbags in 2010.
Here is what you might consider when buying a handbag:
- Jewel tones are the hit of the year. The colorings of emerald, amethyst, sapphire and ruby are dominating in couture. And this is obviously reflected in handbag color trends as well.
- Small, rectangular-shaped and conservative suit-like “serious bags” are a big trend for this year.
- Clutch wallets, fold over wallets and hobos of classic shapes with possibly long metallic shoulder straps are the top trend for 2010. These bags are usually made of suede and decorated with fringe.
- Small types of handbags obviously dominate in 2010. But fortunately for many of us, including me, huge bags also remain trendy this year. One of the trends of the year–perforated leather–gave a new birth to these oversized bags. Prada, YSL, Burberry and Jimmy Choo have fascinating lines of such handbags for 2010. Check them out, especially those by Prada.
- A notable shift from huge, bold and somewhat rude metallic accessories and closures to more soft, small and humble ones is another important trend of this year.
- The handbags with notes of animal skin prints are a real boom. After Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez used this elements in their 2010 collection, you come across this tendency all around in 2010.
- Embellishments and embroideries are especially popular this year. They really give a special look to anything with their controversial design. The point is that the subcultures and the alternative lifestyle keep on influencing brand fashion. This results in mixtures of punk and glam, hippie and conservative, elegance and pop art. And these brilliant mixtures are represented in the embellishments and embroideries.
These basic trends may serve a good basis for your choice, if you combine them with your personal preferences and your budget.
So keep in mind that a right purchase is a good investment to your look, and a good look is a great investment to your personality.
