The futuristic look was in, with power dressing featuring masculine blazers and sequins, and the reinvention of the maxi dress and floral patterns.
Looking ahead to 2010, nude is set to be the new black. For years we have been told that black is slimming, hides all the bumps and evens out our curves, so why a sudden u-turn?
Could it be that we are finally ready to accept our body shape and show off our body in a nude outfit?
The two colours are of a total contrast so here at Female First we are going to look into how to convert nude into your wardrobe and why nude is about to take off, black style.
The Victorian style is set to be big next year, with lace dresses, leggings and tops with high necklines.
It looks like nude was the Victorians favourite colour and has been seen all over the high street, with girls opting to interpret it into their wardrobe trough the lace leggings look.
Fashion house Chanel is also embracing the mother nature look. Their new Spring Makeup Collection Impressions de Chanel showcases some beautiful light brown, nude, beige and fresh colours. Really channelling the look for Spring Summer, if Chanel is stepping to the plate then everyone else will follow.
The fairytale feminine look has been seen all over the magazine spreads this month, this could be down to Alice In Wonderland, being released next year, think fairies and castle and dream away about another land
To pull off the nude look why not purchase a nude shirt to brighten up those dull black trousers to look a bit more lively at the office.
If you are looking to shake the night away on the dance floor than a nude dress will set you apart from the rest of your friends that are in dressed in that boring black dress.
Paired with black tights and the right eye catching accessories, you will defiantly stand out from the crowd.
This alluring dress from Smooph is right on trend this season with a mixture of nude and sheer silk. Making it versatile for the day or dressing it up for the evening.
Accessories set an outfit alight. If you feel you have too many on, then its best to take a piece off.
To go with a nude piece gold will really make the nude come really stand out. Gold earrings, necklace or bracelets will make you look sophisticated and sleek.
Diamantes and pearls will also add sparkle to your outfit but be warned sliver might come off looking cheap and have the opposite effect to gold.
You don’t have to throw out your old wardrobe to embrace this trend. Black still goes will with nude so that classic pencil skirt, trousers and blazers will all still be wearable.
It also doesn’t cost a fortune, just investing in that one statement dress or top will bring you right up-to-date for the coming season.
The pieces are easily convertible from day to night either those show stopping heels or fancy cocktail ring will have to come out to play.
Nude lingerie has also been seen all over the high street. People seem to taking inspiration from Madonna in the 80s and wearing a bralet over a top or teamed with a high waited skirt.
If you aren’t as daring to bare as those girls and are a bit more modest, then why not team the bralet with a slashed sided long line nude vest so you still get the same effect, but keep the look more modest.
Lace is defiantly the way to go, as you keep it sexy, playful yet still practical there is nothing worse then having a bumpy bra underneath a simple shirt.
Nude colour lingerie looks great under white and nude keeping the VLP to a minimum. You also wont come off looking like trailer trash with a white shirt and a black bra, opt for the classy look.
So girls are you all set for nude to take over your life? The trend is slowly creeping up and seeping into the high street stores, you will most defiantly be faced with a nude decision in the future.
