Hot Fashion Trends Melt Russian Ice

By Karina Kudlatova

Hottest Fashion Trends
in Russia

So far the year of 2010 has brought a wide range of unexpected trends into the Russian fashion world. The Fall's hottest fashion trends on Russian streets (like globally) will be leather jackets, fur, plaids and golden colors, but that's far from being it.

A number of spring trends will continue into fall. military fashion trends like army green, a key color this season, and military style coats will be Russian must-haves for the cold winter.

Another trend continuing into fall is leather clothing.  Everything from casual jackets to cigarette pants, a more edgy look, will give the  Russian woman a stylish look this season. 

Knee-high boots are another essential this fall. Russian women will wear them with fitted dresses, skirts and / or trench coats to update an everyday look.

Another key element for fall are knee high or over the knee socks (influenced by designer Alexander Wang). Russian women will be wearing them over their tights in tone with their shoes. Definitly attention getting!

To wrap up, accessories are important from belts, jewelry to neck scarves. Stylish details like these will make a huge difference in an overall appearance. Accessories can be either in tone with an outfit for a more elegant look or in bright, bold colors that will turn heads.
