As the breathtaking fashions and amazing styles of 2009 fade into memory, we welcome 2010 by embracing trends that are certainly going to be sticking around, making them all unquestionably practical additions to your closet.

Key Trends for 2010
The Amazonian Warrior
The military fashion trend has come and gone but it has evolved into a reliance on the more savage, tribal influences this season. Metal and wood-beaded detailing on tunic dresses and tribal motifs, with drapes of fabric, are all the rage this spring. Of course, let’s not forget gladiator sandals, studded belts and metal accessories, which are great details to add on for any urban warrior in the city.  

Just Like One of the Boys
From the classic Le Smoking of Yves Saint Laurent to the modern day Sartorialist look, menswear has a strong influence in the world of women’s wear and will continue to make an impact. The boyfriend jeans with blazer is the perfect current casual look, but a woman’s tailored suit is a chic look that is sure to have passers by taking notice. Teenflo at Oakridge Centre has a beautiful collection of well-structured blazers and lightweight trousers (pictured) to flatter any body type without looking too drab. Also, Teenflo’s modern day women’s suits are intricately tailored and, with the store’s wide selection of handbags and accessories, it’s a perfect one-stop outfit shop.

Splashes of Shine and Shade
If prints and patterns aren’t your thing, hopefully splashes of bold block colours are. Bold colours along with sequins are great statement trends for the upcoming season. It screams confidence but can also be demure, especially when worn with black to help neutralize the colours and shine. DKNY at Oakridge Centre has a fabulous new collection (pictured) that perfectly demonstrates the boldness of the colours and sequins but remains very modest. Besides that, DKNY has an assortment of fun dresses and tops in brilliant block colours with sequin detailing. Definitely worth checking out.
