We all know that in the fall and winter months, they are full of grays, blacks and a lot of white, however – the one thing that they are not going to be filled with is chunky knits.  While I have not always been a fan of the knit in fashion, it seems that the runway is going to be filled with everything from knit dresses all the way to knit scarves.

The great thing about this trend?  Your grandmother can finally knit you that sweater and you can finally wear it and be fashionable!  The color doesn’t matter, however the way that it looks and the overall appeal of the clothing is very, very important – you want the knitting to be chunky, not fine knitting.

Remember chunky knitting – it’s the latest and greatest trend for the fall and winter months.  It will not only keep you warm, but I can promise that you will look awesome!

I have some bad news. I don’t know how it happened. In many ways, it represents one of my biggest fears.

Somehow, some way … 80s fashion is coming back. Pretty soon we will be seeing lots of … acid washed denim. Lots of shoulder pads. Lots of bows — big ones — and lots of leotards. There might be leg warmers and big, bright geometric prints. There might even be trophy jackets.

The only redeeming quality of this inexplicable trend is that there will be a definitive 2009 kind of twist … but I don’t know how much better that makes the whole thing. It means that all that stuff up there gets paired with really sharp lines and close tailoring, ankle boots with a little chunk, and dewy, lolita like makeup.

There will be leggings and junk in colors like … oyster and coral. So you might end up looking like your grandma trying to dress up for some kind of 1980s theme party.

Lovers of comfortable jeans, rejoice, for Kawji brings you great news and tidings of great joy! Random ‘Peanuts’ quoting aside, I am dead serious here. Denim is going to be one of the biggest new trends. The difference between it and other trends, however, is that denim by itself is a classic wardrobe staple — typically in the form of jeans, true, but now designers are taking the fabric to a whole new level.

You may find yourself falling in love with a button down denim dress, for instance, or even a jumpsuit (though in all good conscience, I can’t really recommend that; no matter what the fabric, jumpsuits rarely work well. For anyone). Dungarees are all the rage — and of course jeans and shorts will still be a denim staple.

Fashion is something that is very fickle and different every single day of your life.  The trends in fashion are things that change every single day and while I think that some days I might have a handle on them, the trends change all over again – for example, the ripped up stocking trend is one fashion trend that I did not expect to come back, however – here it is, being seen in places like Denmark on all sorts of different celebrities.

The great thing about ripped up stockings is that you can wear them with anything at all – whether you want to pair them with your little black dress or you want to just put them under a denim skirt – they look good with anything and everything really!

Another cool fact – they actually look fantastic with boots as well.  Whether you are looking at pairing them with booties or knee-highs, ripped stockings are hot!
