Style tip? If Spring 2010 is about showy silhouettes and bold designs, its signature color has to be Red. Red is the color of passion, of power, of love. And it works for both tailored and free-flowing looks. We love the bold power suit inspired look at Philip Lim (shown left), but we also have a deep appreciation for the gorgeously draped cascades of fabric on the Oscar de la Renta ballgown. Do as Oscar does and pair your red dress with a pair of bright gold shoes, whose hue works well with the red’s inherent warmth.

Style tip? Maybe it’s the influence of the film Coco Before Chanel, but the runways of Spring 2010 has Coco Chanel on their mind. Chanel’s signature boxy textured jackets were suspiciously prevalent this season, reinterpreted by designers from Tuleh to Derek Lam. We love the Chanel Jacket paired with a feminine skirt - whether it’s structured (as at Derek Lam) or flowy (as at Tuleh).

Style tip? Knotted detailing is, hands down, one of our favorite embellishment trends for Spring 2010. Knotting manages to exude elegance - yet it’s drama is captivating. Use the center of the knot to draw attention to your favorite part of your figure, whether it’s your bust (Thakoon), tummy (Diane von Furstenberg), or shoulderline (Carolina Herrera).

Style tip? Shorts are always In for Spring, but the trend story for Spring 2010 is the roomy, cuffed short. Available in both high waisted and normal rise varieties, the roomy cuffed short looks best worn with a somewhat fitted top. Belt the look to draw attention to your waistline - and to suggest a more hourglass-like silhouette.
