Winter 2011 trend: Fetish!

The F word can only mean one thing in the fashion world this season: FETISH.

This trend is one of the hugest this winter.

It could look tough and sophisticated, and surreal at the same time. Think leather, lace, black, spikes, skulls and statement jewelry that will definitely make you feel tough and ready to take over the party scene.

How to up the fetish level in your look? It is simpler than it sounds:

  1. Fetish is feminine and elegant, hence the use of lace in many of the fashion runways. Team a black lace blouse with leather leggings and carry a studded clutch for an evening look.
  2. Not a leather outfit fan? No problem. Opt for lace mini dresses, chainmail and sheer tops matched with dark skinnies.
  3. Accessories are key here, ladies: go for studded heels, leather knee high boots, studded clutches and spike bangles. Silver jewelry would compliment this look. There are many to choose from in Aldo's accessories, River Island, TopShop, and Forever 21.
  4. Peter Pan collars and collars in general are a huge trend this season. Opt for leather Peter Pan, coloured or chunky metal chokers to rock both trends.
  5. Finally remember that sporting fetish looks best when opting for dark hues such as metallic, shades of grey, maroon and black.

It is time to embrace your edgier side and stand out during this party season. How will you sport your fetish look? Share your tips by following me on Twitter: @manar_alhinai
