Opposing Trends - Seriously Overstated 'Notice Me' Dressing

Recession led, understated fashion pieces compete with overstated 'notice me' fashions resulting in a body conscious look.

Those latest looks are the power-chic fashion options of thigh high boots, sequins, studs and glamour.
These thigh high skinny boots challenge more utilitarian sturdy biker boots.

Asymmetric Fashion Trend - Dresses with One Shoulder

For evening the bare shoulder asymmetric dress of summer has morphed into a winter version with one bare shoulder and one full length long sleeve or a single cap sleeve instead of a shoulder strap or bow.

Asymmetric one shoulder dresses are the alternative to bustier prom dresses. The latter have been refined and the upper bodice is now much higher with even some arm coverage being attached, a reverse order of styles of circa 1992.

A simple plain fabric or satinised trim version such as this the one sleeved dress right from Marks & Spencers Autumn 2009 range could become the LBD of your Christmas outfits.
