Fashion trends in 2013
Whether we choose to consciously compute the fact or not, how we look does impact the way we feel. It may be that we dress to a theme that evokes a mood, that we choose to pull on something that incites a certain confidence within us, or that we – for no definable reason at all – simply fall in love with a particular piece of clothing or accessory. Either way, the reality is that a large part of how our style evolves each year has to do with the clothing, hair, beauty and accessory trends sweeping fashion, sweeping the runways or the magazine pages or the streets. Not because we have to follow them, but because they inspire us. Each year we analyse what’s happening in the fashion world as a way to understand where the trends are coming from, where they’re going, and – should you so choose – how you can adapt them to your own personal style, in a
way that suits you.

what is fashion: Lynn Dell's Summer Looks
I just got back to New York and it's so wonderful to catch up with the
Advanced Style Ladies. I even had the pleasure of seeing Lynn Dell two
days in row! It's hot and muggy in the city, but Lynn Dell still manages
too look amazing in light layers, bright colors, and loads of
accessories.

your 2012 fashion forecast
Just like clockwork, the year is coming to an end and 2012 is quick on
its heels. This time of year, it's fun to look back and reminisce and
look forward to see what the future holds. When it comes to hot clothing
styles, this past year saw many bold new looks and 2012 promises to be
just as exciting.
Karen Kwinter, Canadian Living's fashion and beauty editor at large and Robin Keeler, a fashion consultant for shopping centres across Canada, offer insights into the clothing styles that were hot in 2011 and which fashion trends you can expect to see in 2012.
2011 fashion trends shine a spotlight on colour
"The biggest fashion trend to come out of 2011 was the emergence of bright colour," says Kwinter. "First appearing on the designer runways as neons, they softened slightly and during the year became slowly accepted." Most popular, she says, were hot pink, royal blue and red. "Colour was easy to add to one's wardrobe at first by adding it in small doses, primarily to black."
According to Keeler, intense look-at-me colour such as beeswax yellow, honeysuckle pink and electrifying orange were the stars of 2011 fashion trends, expressing what she calls a spirit of passion and energy. "Through their use of these colours, designers evoked a sense of beauty and renewal, much needed for those who have colourless wardrobes," she says. "Used properly, colour is a powerful tool in the development of a strong sense of personal style."
Other hot 2011 fashion trends and clothing styles
Pantsuits, capes and ponchos, animal prints, leather, stripes and the ‘60s shift dress were other looks that gained popularity in 2011, says Keeler. "Pantsuits are always appropriate and versatile," she says, explaining that fitted jackets always look great and give the wearer shape, whether paired with narrow- or wide-legged pants.
"Capes can be dramatic, elegant or just fun," says Keeler. "They are comfortable, go with almost anything and are great layering pieces, especially in transitional weather."
Once considered "wild", Keeler says that leopard or snake prints are so widely worn in many clothing styles now, they've become classic. But be careful: Head-to-toe animal print is hard to pull off, she says, suggesting just one great piece instead of many.
Want to add a little edge to your wardrobe? Try leather. "Leather, when embellished with studs and chains, says ‘rocker' … and is never meant to be worn to work," says Keeler. Instead, she advises sticking to classic shapes and earth tone colours to integrate leather pieces into your existing wardrobe. "Again, one great piece will do it -- head to toe is too much!"
2011 fashion trends and clothing styles also embraced a beloved pattern, enhanced by colour: Stripes. "When worn properly, and in the right place, stripes can look absolutely fabulous," says Keeler. "Bright stripes can add ‘oomph' to your outfits and can take your clothes from tiresome to terrific."
As is often the case with fashion, what is old becomes new again. The shift dress made popular in the ‘60s saw a renaissance in 2011, making it a key wardrobe staple. "Its simple, elegant lines look great under tailored coats, jackets and cardigans," says Keeler.
