Trend reflection: 2009

The always informative New York magazine has put together a fashion trend  overview for 2009, and I must admit that it made me a little nostalgic for all that 2009 was about: sparkles, plaid shirts, round sunglasses, studs, and bangles. But, to be honest, I am a little glad that the 00's are over: a lot of crappy stuff happened between 2000 and December 2009, and already 2010 is feeling better. Although for a decidedly futuristic-sounding year -- as a kid I had hoped that by this point, everyone would have gotten civilized and taken to white space getups, silver bubble suits and various mood-sensitive shapeshifting pieces -- so far I must admit that the '10s are feeling a little bit tame. But alas, Americans have barely even caught on to hybrid cars, so I guess we've got a ways to go until the true "future" aesthetic kicks in. In the meantime, let's hear your trend predictions for 2010.
