10 Women Fashion Trends to Look Forward to in 2009

Sharetha Emanuel
It seems that '80s fashion is definitely making a comeback in 2009. From oversized earrings to clog sandals, the newest fashion trends are a big change from the previous year. Check out the list below for the fashion trends that will be making a big impact in the upcoming year.

Jersey Dresses

Get excited-your favorite '80s trend is coming back around in 2009! The jersey dress can be worn with leggings or without. Add your favorite belt to dress up this outfit and show off your curves.

Oversized '80s Earrings

You'll definitely recognize this trend from the '80s-who could forget the large accessories in an abundance of bright colors? These earrings will look great with basic jeans and a t-shirt.

Clog Sandals

Clogs, the popular 1970's trend, made a brief reappearance in the late '90s. It looks like this trend can't be held down for long-it is resurfacing in every fashion magazine as an upcoming trend for 2009. Clog sandals are not only cute, but they are very comfortable for all-day wear.

Leather Cords and Pendants

Leather cords and pendants are a great alternative to metal jewelry-the look is more vintage, more natural. However, this accessory can effectively be paired with the metal jewelry of your choice.

Hip-length vests

These vests are minimal and menswear-inspired. Some can be oversized. Throw this piece over jeans, shorts, or a dress. The possibilities are endless!

Jumpsuits

It wasn't hard to figure out that this trend would be coming along soon, as the sexy Romper for women made a big reappearance in 2008. The jumpsuit is just an extended version of the romper.

Jumpsuits can be dressy or casual-pair them up with a pair of fly heels for a night out or lay back in your suit with a pair of casual sandals. Make sure to open the first few top buttons of your jumpsuit to flash some skin (and show off that amazing necklace or leather cord).

Lace Racerback Tanks

What can be sexier than a lace, racerback tank top-especially in black? Pair this chemise with a sexy pair of jeans or slacks and heels.

Pleated Dresses

The pleated dress is a simple, yet sophisticated style that will bring out the ultimate femininity in any woman.

Wrist Bags

Also known as the wristlet, the wrist bag trend began coming back in 2007, with the popularity of the return of the clutch. After all, every woman wanted just enough room in their purse for lip gloss, car keys, a cell phone, and a pack of gum, right? Well, along with the convenience and compactness of clutches came the ability to easily forget these handy little accessories. Here is where the wristlet saves the day: these practical purses dangle elegantly off the wrist. There is no need to put them down!

Metal Jewelry

Don't think about your typical jewelry-making metals such as silver, gold, and platinum. Instead, fashion accessories for 2009 will be made of hip metals such as copper, bronze, and steel.
