Getting fashionable for Fall & Winter:
Fall and winter seasons bring with them chilly weather and a resulting cold environment. Clothes with more layers and a warmer feel are required. The all-time apparel; jeans go well with any type of winter wear such as sweaters and jackets. Long, loose, and layers of clothing give a completely different look when paired with an appropriate pair of jeans. In 2010-11, as the fashion gurus predict, it will be an exciting year as the world emerges from the global financial crisis, with new standards of fashion rising now and again.

Trends that are 'Out':
Whiskered Jeans: Jeans with the bleached-out lines on thighs are now obsolete. These pre-fabricated creases give a broken-in and worn look to the apparel and are not flattering. Now they are moving out of the fashion world.
Sandblasted Jeans: Sandblasting is one of the most popular finishing techniques used to give a worn look to denim fabrics. Though, this style is popular, it results in health related hazards to the workers involved in the process. As a sign of turning towards health and safety, companies are considering to ban the sandblasting process, which might make force this style out of the fashion world. Renowned brands such as Levi Strauss and H&M have already declared a global ban on sandblasted jeans.
Super Low Waist Jeans: While low rise jeans still exist in the market, super low-rise, and ultra low-rise are out of fashion's wardrobe. They have their own health hazards, causing a pinch in the nerve of the hip, leading to numbness in thighs which can even become permanent.
Fashion that is 'Still In':
Skinny jeans for a willowy look: Work-friendly jeans and dark washes still retain their glory. Skinny and a contrasting boot cut jeans, follows the former. Skinny jeans look good for people with slim, and hour glass figure, as it accentuates their curves. They look good when accompanied with dolman tops, bell sleeves, knit caps, and tunics with long belts. To give a lengthy look to the legs, the shirts can be tucked in, or the jeans can be worn with heels.
Boyfriend Jeans: These are womenswear, mimics of men's jeans, with loose fit, low rise, and cuffed hems. Still in style for fall, they are comfortable, loose and give a casual look. This will go well with a simple T-shirt, and leather belt. Paired with ballet flats, sandals or heels, they make a good appearance. They show off the feet, and retain the feminine look of the wearer.
Low & High Waist Jeans: Both low and high waist jeans are preferred by men and women. High waist jeans have the influence of the 70s. They give a better posture to the wearer, giving a slender figure. The jeans look best when matched with a long top. It does not go with muffin tops. High waist jeans are seen on international catwalks for fall/winter season. Low rise jeans taper gently in at the waist, and still retain their popularity. They are available in various fits such as ankle cut, straight cut, baggy, loose cut, slim fit, and boy cut. Despite all the styles, low rise jeans with a tight fit is more popular.
