1. Eco-Friendly - Eco-Friend is definitely chic for Fall 2009. All the designers are incorporating eco-friendly and organic products into their lines. In it’s infancy, eco-friendly was relatively dull but now it not only feels great, it looks great too. Don’t miss out on this trend.

2. Plums,  Purples, Dusk, & Gray – Rich plums and purples will be juxtaposed with soft dusty pinks, grays, and cement tones.

3. Sequins & Embellishments – The trend continues…yay! Who doesn’t like to sparkle? Well apparently, designers aren’t done with the sparkle. Look for these embellishments incorporated in new and creative ways, such as sequins just under the fabric for a more muted look. While embellishments and sequins are still hip, it’s toned down a bit for Fall 2009.

4. Zippers - Zippers will be incorporated both for function and fashion.

5. Bubble Hems – Look for dresses, skirts, and tops with bubble hems.

6. Layers – Designers will be incorporating  the layered look right into their garments. Picture a great lightweight knit top with a contrasting “cami” underneath and a scarf attached. This takes the brain work out of making sure you layers work together.

7. Metallic Fabrics – Again, metallic fabrics will be HOT. However unlike previous seasons, they will be muted not flashy.

8. Sweater Dresses – What took designers so long to figure out that women love a sweater dress? Well they are on it this season. Look for a variety of shapes including a-line with a hood or cinched waist. There will be great options for women with a variety of body types. We are mostly seeing them above the knee, so polish up your boots!

9. Convertible Pieces – Convertible is not just for cars and sweaters anymore. Think sweater dress, top, or skirt all in one. How is that for budget friendly?
