A humble prediction of 2006 trends based on an observation of the recent fashion shows in Paris, London and New York. Feel free to add your own predicts! =)

Jackets are one of the best ways to dress up a simple outfit and on top of the list is the cropped jacket. It is meant to fall just around the waist, with the sleeves falling just below the elbow or shorter (which is great if you wish to make your arms look slimmer and longer). What makes the cropped jacket special, hence a must have, is that it goes with almost anything; dresses, skirts, jeans and even bermuda shorts.

All from the Spring 2006 Ready-To-Wear Collection
Thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York of Sex and the City, dresses and frocks are making a comeback. Reminscient of the 50s glam, these full dresses are flirty yet depict a demure image (most of the latest designs have hems just at the knee level or below). Take your pick from a selection of styles; boob tube, spagetthi strap or halter neck and pair it with great heels (of contrasting colour, of course) and you're set to make heads turn.
The Skinny Leg Jeans

Move away road-sweeping bell bottomers. The hip jeans today could not be any skinnier or tighter, hugging the thighs snuggly waist down. While many are still standing by the time-tested, fool-proof, flare cut, style gurus Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have been spotted donning skinny leg jeans and yes, they look fabulous (but then again, what doesn?t look fabulous on Kate and Sienna?). Not surprisingly, skinny girls would probably benefit best from these skinny darlings as they draw attention to those sexy pins.

Tommy Hilfiger from Spring 2006 Ready-To-Wear Collection
Love them or hate them, stripes are classic. Horizontal and vertical lines of different shades have been making reappearances on the runaways again and again, that we are certain to have at least one or two stripy pieces hanging in our closet. Recent fashion shows were flooded with stripes again; stripy jackets, tops, dresses and many more. Stripes are great investments, its timeless look is almost guaranteed to never go out of style; provided you match them right. So remember, for your next shopping trip, be sure to get 'in line'.

Another style icon that screams of 50?s glam, peep toe heels are one of the must-haves in a glamour girl?s wardrobe. They are cute, sexy and look fabulous with dresses. A pair of peep toe heels is also great way to show off your perfect pedicures. This season, peep toe heels come in quirky, feminine designs with embellishments that would sent even the most non-girly person to fall in love with them. Be adventurous and go for something different and bring out that princess in you.

Burberry Prosum Spring 2006 Ready-to-Wear Collection
When choosing an evening dress, remember that black seldom lets you down. It is one colour that exudes much elegance, mystery and not to mention, practicality. It blends well with prints and slips easily from day to night. This season, we have all the more reasons to wear black: it is back on the runaways (e.g Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier). From Gothic Victorian to Boho Russian, black is all ?in? again, wrapped together with other rich, dark tones such as purple, midnight blue, teal, moss green and the likes. The idea here is to throw in just one or two dark pieces into your ensemble. An all-dark outfit may just look odd in Malaysia?s sunny climate. Think dark colours too sombre for spring? Add embellishments such as glittering brooches or accessorize with bright necklaces to create a spring-y effect.

Audrey Hepburn
If Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of beauty and grace, then waistlines should be the epitome of femininity. Famous not only for her Oscar-winning roles but also for her tiny waistline, Audrey Hepburn did us all a favour by affirming the power of cinched waist. Waistlines are looking sexy again this coming season with fashion big names like Burberry choosing to adorn their creations with ribbons, sashes and belts of all colours and sizes. Party princesses, make a mark with rich fabric like satin and organza in colours like wine, deep cherry and gold.
