Every season brings a combination of classic favourites, new ideas, and fresh approaches to standard wardrobe pieces of all kinds. This year is no exception; what's most interesting, though, is how the classics seem to be taking the leading position in the race for style this time around.

Perhaps it's the challenge of a tough economy or maybe it's simply a desire to make the most of comfortable, classic looks; either way, classic is "in" this year. Blazers, slacks, dressy blouses and tops, and pencil skirts are being seen all over the place, and they look absolutely terrific.

Try pairing a classic, neutral-coloured pencil skirt with a shapely blazer, giving the entire outfit a bit of flair with a striking dressy blouse in an exotic print or rich jewel colour. This look can be dressed up for an evening of fun and flirting just by taking off the blazer and adding a sparkling accessory like a necklace, bracelet, metallic-highlighted scarf, or a really great clutch purse.

For a really flashy party look you can't miss with sequins and clingy metallic fabrics. Look for these alluring sparkles in dresses, mini-dresses, skirts, leggings, and bustier or corset-style tops. All it takes is one fantastic piece to make the entire outfit really shine, so don't rush out to buy a new wardrobe; opt instead for wearing your favourite party pieces along with something bright, new, and eye-catching.

As much as the classics are turning up in droves this year, there is a striking new trend to watch for - big, big shoulders. And you thought this look went out in the 1980's! Today's big shoulder styles are much more than just padding, though; designers are opting for distinct shapes ranging from pointed to fin-like to rounded or pleated. It's a great look for anyone who wants to create an hourglass look for themselves because big shoulders help to make your waist look narrower than ever before.

Rich jewel tones are "in" this year as well, especially deep purples, teals, ambers, and harvest reds. Pieces in these colours really stand out and catch attention, especially when paired with other pieces in rich neutral tones of brown, charcoal, or black. This is another terrific way to "dress up" your look this season without having to invest a ton of money in lots of new pieces. Simply choose a new blouse in one of the exciting new colours and voila! your favourite dress suit has an entirely fresh and new look.
