Pendants are among the most popular designer jewellery come back in 2011. For men pendants that look like arms are top fashion. Blade, gun and knife pendants always look stylish and emphasize the masculinity of their owners. Skull pendants are also in vogue, with chains being replaced with leather laces and this makes jewellery look more stylish and up-to-date. Big & Bold Sunglasses The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s look is making a comeback. Considered highly fashionable, this look is expected to be flaunted extremely in 2011. Round glasses and replica sunshades are highly in demand mainly due to their high competitive prices and quality. The retro shades can be found in all shapes and sizes.

Their admirers range from the young to old, and hence, the demand for them is constantly on the rise. These massive and bold sunglasses are also flaunted by celebrities to hide their identities in public places. Thus, for people who follow the style quotient celebrities, bigger frames and darker lenses is the way for that chic style statement. Almost all fashion brands offer a whole range of retro sunshades to meet their customers’ needs. Shoes Colourful platforms have made a come back for the first fashion trend for 2011. Only this time these platforms have been designed to have a futuristic appeal in them. Also besides leather and metal finishing, animal skin prints snake skin is among the most beloved ones, high-heel shoes with silk and organza details can also be seen flaunted in the fashion runways. Little black dress This essential apparel for many women today was first started by Coco Channel who in her bid to mourn the only man she loved – Athur Capel; she created many little black dresses which she wore daily for many years as a sign of devotion to this man who helped her open the first channel shop. LBD as popularly known can be worn on its own, or with anything. As a formal dress a well cut jacket can be worn on top of this dress to the office. From office to evening, LBD can be worn on its own paired with pearls as jewellery and a clutch bag to finish the required evening mood for partying or cocktail.
