As part of our trend series for Fall / Winter 2009 we are covering yet another prevalent trend for this season. As a reminder, the first two trends were the 40's and the 80's, now we are moving out of decade inspired fashion to natural inspiration. The trend we will look at today is Earthy. Earthy is a soft, draped trend. This trend will be very complimentary to those who are curvy as you will be able to wrap and drape over curves for comfortable sophisticated look. Again, if you are unsure of your body type please refer to the guide from the 40's post. Then look ahead and see the suggested looks for your body type in this look.

Earthy
The feeling it elicits:
Achieve this look for your shape:
Hourglass
As an hourglass you will want to take advantage of the wrap knits allowing them to drape around the waist thus showing off the waist. Wear the wrap as a dress or a top with a pair of cozy yet styled slacks. Keep the colors in the neutral earth tones and choose fur caplets and worn metal pieces to accessorize the look.
Triangle
As a triangle you may take advantage of some of the bulky pieces associated with this look and don them up top. These pieces include hooded cowls, fur caplets, and chunky knits. Pair these pieces with a straight slack or skirt. Worn metal pieces will make for nice accessories with these pieces to complete this look.
V
A V will want to steer clear of the bulky pieces up top, instead choose knits that are finer gauge and sleeker up top. You may want to pair this with the cashmere coat worn open, as this will create an additional diagonal line up top. As a V you may also want to pair this with a somewhat bulkier knit skirt for additional texture.
O
As an O the pieces that allow for draping and wrapping in this look will complement your shape rather well. Steer clear of the extremely bulky pieces and opt for a finer gauge knit. Allow the piece to drape over the waistline and pair this with a slimmer slack, or a nice straight skirt that ends at the knee.
Rectangle
As a rectangle you will want to take advantage of all the draping in this look however, you will want to make an effort to keep the lines straight so avoid wrapping the fabrics around the body. Instead choose a cashmere jacket worn over an earthy knit and wear this with a straight wool slack.
