Timeless High Fashion Trends

,

(Views expressed in this article are the personal opinion of the author)

The world of fashion changes every day and often it is necessary to get rid of the old to make room for the new. Many influential factors influence changes in trends and its a rare instance, especially in high fashion, when a trend can and does last forever. Timeless trends that will always be relevant in high fashion are equivalent to term diamonds in the rough.

True red comes in many not so trendy forms, but it will be a staple in high end fashion until the end of time. Why red? Its the Marilyn Monroe of colors and considered a power color with a strong sexual influence for passion. Lets look at the facts: its the color of fire, the common rose, hearts, passion, love as well as embodying many more other symbolic meanings. In China, it symbolizes beauty and celebration and it is the color brides most commonly wear on their wedding day. Did I mention that its one of the top colors chosen by men? Its true Venus will always be rising in the high fashion world.

While on the subject of power, lets add the well tailored pant suit. There are uncountable variations by numerous high fashion designers but there is one perfect fit for every woman. A good tailor is needed but not necessarily required. Women are powerful and a high end pant suit can be worn for almost any occasion with the right decorated accessories to accent. Try utilizing this trend if there is a powerful message that needs to be conveyed.

A staple piece of jewelry in high end fashion is the right hoop earrings. This accessory will never go out of style. Whether you like silver, gold, big or small, find the perfect pair that fits you. Getting a few variations is a must. Jackie O, god rest her stylish soul, received millions of dollars in diamonds and jewels from prestigious places and people, but her favorite were a pair of petite double hooped dangle earrings that she got for less than $100 and wore most of the time. She was photographed wearing them on numerous occasions. Its simply impossible to settle for just any hoop earring and there are many styles to choose from so its important to take precious time to find the perfect pair. When you do, youll be soul mates. As for me, Im going to be buried in mine.

The Clutch Purse is the queen bee of handbags. Which is very suitable considering the style was introduced to high society fashion during the Victorian Era. The fashion world had decided that the clutch was no longer in style and it diminished for decades until WWII. This was due to the shortages in materials and rationing. Since the clutch required fewer materials, it re-emerged in the fashion world. Theyre dainty and they add a feminine touch to any style for any occasion.
Thomas Burberry was the founder and creator of the first trench coat. They were designed specifically for the British Army and when the soldiers came home, they continued to wear them on the streets making them the pillar of street fashion for men. Epaulets and other accents were added and the trench coat was reborn and continued to transform for both genders. Today, almost every high end fashion designer makes a variation. This piece may be the most timeless style for both men and women today.

New ideas and new trends in fashion are an exciting expectation to look forward to. Its possible that innovative ideas can transform ones world, for the good or the bad. Since the past is all we know, that is all we can reference. But there is one thing for sure and its these high fashion trends will be around forever, unless we become machines and robots. It could happen but it sure does give a whole new meaning to the word attachment.

Jennifer Lawrence clothes

,
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Clothing worn by Jennifer Lawrence in her Oscar-winning role as an outspoken young widow in comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" went up for auction on Tuesday, just two days after the Academy Awards ceremony.
Memorabilia dealer Nate D. Sanders put the skin-tight white dance pants, winter coat and sports bra Lawrence wore in the film up for sale in the online auction that will end on Thursday.
The items are expected to fetch between $500 and $1,500 following the 22-year-old's Best Actress win on Sunday.
"She's now on the record for having an Academy Award, which definitely gives it (the items) status now," said Laura Yntema, spokeswoman for auction house Nate D. Sanders.
"The Hunger Games" star also won awards from the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild in January for her "Silver Linings Playbook" performance.
Five items, either worn by Lawrence or from her wardrobe on the film, are up for auction with starting bids at $100.
They include the custom-tailored skin-tight white pants Lawrence wore during the film's climactic ballroom dance scene with co-star Bradley Cooper.
The black, full-length double-breasted Moda International wool coat is a size six. The teal sports bra by Gap Body will be sold together with an extra-small blue Threads 4 Thought long-sleeved shirt.
The auction also has nine clothing items either worn or from the wardrobe of Cooper, and two items from the wardrobe of supporting actor Chris Tucker.
Movie studios often hand off costumes to auction houses, where even small outfits can fetch high prices from fans and collectors.

Fashion Styles Jessica Chastain and Rihanna

,
Oops... even celebrities get it wrong sometimes! We're telling you why Jessica Chastain and Rihanna's fashions fell short in our weekly feature. Learn from the stars' sartorial slip ups!
Jessica Chastian at Paris fashion Week

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain was one of our best dressed at the Oscars and all throughout awards season, but we don't know what she was thinking with this ensemble she chose for the Givenchy show during Paris Fashion Week. The Zero Dark Thirty actress wore a menswear-inspired pair of pants and jacket from Givenchy's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.
The high-waisted trousers are super baggy on Jessica's svelte frame and could use some serious tailoring. They also feature sheer lace panel cutouts, which not only look odd but seem like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. She's made it this far without suffering any overexposures, so why chance it by wearing these cutout pants? You can see she wore shorts underneath, but having to wear both shorts and pants seems silly to us.
The final verdict? You can't win everything all the time and this certainly isn't one of our favorite looks for Jess. We like that she changed up her coif and wore it straight with a center part for a change, though!
Rihanna at the Rihanna for River Island Collection

Rihanna

Did you know that Rihanna is now a designer as well as a musician? Yep, the "Diamonds" singer has released the Rihanna for River Island Collection, a UK-based fashion line. She celebrated her designer debut during a party at DSTRKT nightclub in London wearing this getup, which gives a whole new meaning to "denim on denim."
She's wearing her own line, but why in the world would anyone rock two pairs of jeans at once?! She seems to be channeling Justin Bieber's saggy pants style with the darker pair of denim that she cuffed. Riri wore a lighter colored pair of jeans underneath and completed the look with high heeled sandals. These retail for $150, and apparently, not everyone agrees with us on these being awful, as they're sold out on the site.
The final verdict? There's really never a reason to wear two pairs of jeans, is there? We think not! Just pick one pair of pants next time, please and thanks! However, her hair and makeup are on point and the crop top shows off her killer abs.
