Trends for 2008
By Elle Jacobs
q  

Fashion trends are at the fore font everywhere you look so it's only natural that you want to follow them. Find the latest trends displayed on the catwalks and the high street to add to your own style.

The first trend for 2008 that deserves a mention is ruffle garments, whether it's a shirt or a dress. Ruffles were seen on the catwalk in silk, sheer layers and pale pastel colours. Since this look is ultra feminine, it's suggested that if you want to toughen up the look to add strong accessories.

The next trend for 2008 to consider is the tribal trend. Animal prints, Aztec dress and ethnic jewelry are the top runners for this trend.

This trend is easy to overdo so keep it simple. It's best to wear a plain top with print accessories or print top/dress with plain bangles.

There's always an era's style resurfacing and the trend for 2008 is seventies style. Floaty maxi dresses, waistcoats over vintage blouses. Stonewashed jeans were all over the catwalks at Channel and Christopher Kane, you can't go wrong with jeans.

Another emerging trend for 2008 is floral print. This will not be to everyone's taste especially since the upcoming prints are set to be bigger and bolder than ever. If you go with this trend remember less is most definitely more - you don't want to resemble a flower show.

Most people will be glad to hear that black continues as a trend for 2008. Orange and cobalt blue are making headlines but the must-have colour this Spring and Summer is fuchsia pink. Hollywood’s finest stars caught onto the trend as soon as it was showcased. The problem with the fuchsia pink colour is that it can easily look tacky if worn with too much make up and overly done hair. As there is so much going on with the colour everything else needs to be kept simple to let the colour stand out.

If the thought of bold pink is too much for you, you can translate the trend into more subtle pink highlights. For example add a fuchsia pink accessory such as a belt to a black dress or a handbag to brighten up an outfit. By adding an accessory in fuchsia pink you are keeping up with the trend but not too full on.

Another continuing trend is the blazer, long gone are the days when you reluctantly wore it to school. This style of jacket can pull together any outfit; it sharpens the feminine look of the ruffles trend, works well over the seventies comeback style and helps break up the block colour trend.

The final trend for 2008 is the high-waisted trouser. Who can't adore a garment that makes our legs look longer and is surprisingly flattering across the middle.

Now you have the main trends for 2008, you can start planning your new wardrobe today.

2008 Hairstyles
 
2008 Hairstyles
By Chandrika Gauranga
q  

Hairstyles in 2008 have evolved from last year and are more exciting. Textures and shapes are bolder and more dramatic than ever and the latest colors are reds and pinks. We are still seeing a retro influence from the 50's and earlier, as well as 80's punk rock styles making a big comeback. So for 2008, whether you are a bold and confident rock chick, or prefer the more demure romantic look, there is something for everyone.

Seventies hairstyles are also in vogue, with hairstyles reminiscent of the Charlie's Angels girls, from Farrah Fawcetts long, layered full bodied hairdo, to the more cutesie feathered bob. Short shaggy looks are being worn by many celebrities from Jennifer Aniston to Keira Knightley. Ask your hairdresser to give your hair more texture by cutting in feathered layers, to achieve this 2008 hairstyle.

One of the most important things for hair in 2008, is condition. If your hair is shiny, soft and natural looking, it is up to date in 2008. It is possible with hair salon products to get your hair in tip top condition, Redken do some great treatments that actually make a big difference to dry or frazelled hair. If you are going for the sleek sedu 2008 hairstyle this year and using GHDs, then remember to use a heat protector, as although straight hair is in, it needs to be sleek as well, which requires good condition. Invest in some good products to achieve a sleek straight style.

2008 hairstyles are showing much bolder fringes, thick, straight cut eye level fringes are in fashion and add a touch of interest and boldness to long hair, and definition to shorter styles. Bobs, bangs and layers have stayed with us into 2008, hairstyles being as versatile as last year, but just with a bit more daring. Colors such as copper tones or even bright pink, can have a dramatic effect.

Long demure curls are popular in 2008, perms are a definite no no, do not attempt to recreate the 80's frizzy perm look, but soft flowing curls, are definitely good. These sort of curls are best achieved using curling irons, you can even use straighteners to achieve these curls, by twisting and running through the hair. Of course anti frizz serums are a must, but only just enough to control the hair and keep it looking natural, shiny and demure. You may have laughed at your grandmas rollers, but this is the time to ask to borrow them and get some 50's style tips from her if you can!

2008 hairstyles are also seeing an increase in emo type styles, emo hairstyles ar the term given to very individual hairstyles created as an expression by many young people. So there is no exact definition, other than it should be original, reflective of you and of course as for all 2008 hairstyles, great condition rules. Emo hairstyles tend to have a great use of colors, streaks and highlights to add the personal touch, and any length will do, just so long as it is your own.

From Emo, to rock chick, many punk hairstyles are making a come back. Remember those daring guys and gals of the punk era, who colored their hair and had surprising bold and outrageous looks. Well you can give it a go in 2008, as the punk rock chick look is in. Lots of hairspray, lots of color and shape and your imagination are what you need to achieve these styles.

So, for the latest 2008 hairstyles, keep these hairstyle tips in mind and remember, have a great year!
