5. Leather Leggings

Daring and a bit naughty, leather leggings exposed the inner femme fatale, making you look undeniably feminine yet unbelievably edgy. Ensuring stuck-to-you leggings were never confused with your spandex workout gear, leather leggings were essential for the colder seasons to highlight your figure at a time when you tend to hide your body under all your warm weather apparel. The one problem with this trend was that many people needed to be reminded that leggings are not pants. I repeat, leggings are not pants. Your top should always be of appropriate length when wearing leggings in order to not look as though you have forgotten your bottoms (for an example of looking like you have no pants please see Lady GaGa).

4. Booties

While your mother may have once told you that cutting off your legs at the ankle is unflattering, many people ignored that advice this year. The bootie became a staple in of wardrobes to sport with skirts, flirty dresses, and even a more structural short or romper. Booties rough up an ensemble to give you just the right amount of edge, making them perfect with this years leather leggings or the best way take a smaller fashion risk if your style leans towards the feminine and conventional.

3. Statement Jewelery

While Coco Chanel always encouraged removing one accessory from your ensemble before walking out the front door, this year gave you the right to disobey her. Last year size mattered, and bold, bulky accessories with an edge were worn and as well as multiple pieces being worn at once. Less is no longer more. The bottom line is that when it came to accessories in 2009, the bigger and more exotic, the better.

2. Gladiator Shoes

Looking as if they are ready to wage wore on the streets, fashionistas were falling for gladiator style shoes like crazy this year. Given their popularity with the Hollywood set and supermodels such as Kate Moss or Ellie MacPherson, the traditional gladiator sandal of the last two years has been elevated to loftier heights as the “it” shoe of the year. From delicate, embellished metallics to warrior-woman, war-like boots, gladiator footware ranges from chunky, aggressive platforms to subtle, chic metallic flats.

1. Studs & Grommets

The haute punk rocker came out this year with garments completely embellished with studs and grommets. This trend elevates the bedazzling of the 80’s and infuses it with a British punk flair, roughing up feminine frocks for an edgier sensibility. Grommets covered cocktail dresses and added an edge to evening wear. The trend seemed like it was over in the summer but studded and sequined clothing made a comeback right after the Michael Jackson tragedy when many designers paid tribute and recreated versions of his style. The studs were seen on everything this year from shoes to belts to dresses and accessories.
