Ten trends in 2010.

OK so you officially have forty-eight hours until 2010. And while you are still trying to solidify plans as to where you will be counting down the New Year, allow me to give you a little sneak peek to some trends you will fall head over heels with in the year of the Tiger. (And I don't mean Woods, let's hope his year is a little less... public.)

So in case you've forgotten all the post Fashion Week analysis from last February, we'll recap the top ten.

1 Slouchy pants
Not to be confused with the dropped crotch harem pants of two springs ago, these beauties have more fabric in the hips, which means they complement all shapes and sizes. Just be sure to pair it with a slim top to avoid frumpiness.

2 Layers, layers, layers
This is a trend we are seeing stick from season to season, but remember it should be used in moderation. (Seriously, it will save you from constantly doing laundry.)

3 Top colors for spring
Pantone, the official voice on color, awarded turquoise the prize for the color this spring, but other hues to keep in mind are tomato puree (reddish pink), fusion coral (coral) and violet.

4 Abstract prints
If the fashion trends for spring are any indication to when this recession will pass, it looks like we are almost out of the woods. The once black-dominated seasons are gone, and now it’s time to sport some wild styles.

5 Asymmetrical lines
Look for unusual cutouts and one-shoulder styles this spring. You might be exposing some skin that hasn’t seen the light of day in quite a long time.

6 Romance and poetry
Evening wear takes on a softer side this season with mainly neutral colors and styles that move and flow with your night.

7 Sexy hair
Stick straight is out. And curls can take a hike. This season is sexy, tossed waves. And, of course, big hair is still — always — in.

8 Texture
That’s right, friends, no joke. Whether it’s feathers or faux fur, add some 3-D styles to your wardrobe.

9 Leisure dressing
If this spring season boasts anything, it’s to dress with comfort and style.

10 Metallic
If you’ve planned a “girl’s night out,” be sure to pick up a top that’s got some shine and is rather reminiscent of the ’80s. Note: Just one or two pieces like this is advised. Don’t go nuts.
