Spot-a-trend for Autumn 2010 Japanese edition ;)

So, I have been going through Jelly and Vivi for September, and I could not help to notice that they both present a very cohesive trend set for the upcoming autumn season. And let’s face it – whatever shows up in Vivi mag, in a few months will pop like mushrooms after the rain in blogshops and other stores. So why don’t we play a little spot-a-trend game? ;D

Trend no.1: Animal Prints

Vivi and Jelly promote it in forms of oversized tops, cute tunics and leggings. But I’ve seen it in another Japanese magazine (I think Gisele), where it was used more in forms of accessories, like bandannas and belts. Personally I’m not a fan of this one – just to easy to start to look cheesy.

Trend no.2: Nordic print.

This one got totally rejected in the Western magazines, but I think it’s cute and girly.Would not mind a super cute short-sleeve sweater in my collection.

Trend no.3: Faux fur and fluffy wool accessories.

The furry leg-warmers can be a bit of a over-kill, but a fluffy faux fur bag is likely to be the “must-have” item for trendy ladies this Autumn .

Trend no.4: woolly socks, shorts and leg-warmers.

Wool is like a staple when it comes to fall season, but fortunately this time round, the colors are soft, and the texture is left light, but intricate. I’m so in love with the wool-shorts idea xD

Trend no.5: oversized mens-wear blazers.

In heavy and stern colors. This is not a continuation of the “boyfriend-blazer” trend, but more of a journey into more elegant and clean mens-wear inspired style.
