Remember when your mother attempted to teach you temperance with some naff lesson about the grass not being greener on the other side? Clearly she'd never been shopping to Japan where shoppers cannot only shop Burberry Prorsum to their heart's content, but Japanese men and expats alike can indulge in the Burberry Black Label; a label exclusive to Japan.
Spotted leaving the Karl Lagerfeld show in Paris, model Constance Jablonski amalgamates two hot 2010 fashion trends; the military jacket with subtly patched jeans, all in accord via a simple navy colour scheme.
So used to the sheer fashion trend are fashionisers, that to make it stand out in 2010 is going to take some serious styling work. On the face of it, it's going to have to be worn at either extremes of girly or sexually confident.
The look above, spotted by Mr. Newton goes somewhat towards the latter interpretation.
And while I say extreme, I don't mean going all the way to the point where confidence is the new black. I doff my hat to you if you have that much confidence though.
Taylor Momsen usually takes fashion trends to extremes. The latest shots we've seen of her arriving on the set of Gossip Girl have her in a decidedly adult 2010 fashion trend inspired outfit. Exposed lingerie in the form of suspenders are seen disappearing under Taylor's super mini skirt and are paired ith ripped stockings... sometimes it's hard to believe she's still only sixteen.
Combining androgyny with femininity is Brooklyn Decker in the January 2010 issue of Elle magazine, wearing the female dandy trend in the form of a Ralph Lauren cashmere three piece suit.
Always well styled down to the accessory, Ekaterina Mukhina fashion Editor at Elle Russia wears the leather trend in the form of a skirt and jacket.
Hair trends of late have moved in three year cycles, and we expect that it'll be no different for the pixie crop. 2010 should be the hair trends last 'hoorah', and we expect it to be firmly out by mid-2010. But do note, we've chosen the word 'expect' very carefully. Perhaps we're being over-cautious and are hedging our bets, but let us explain with three good reasons why.

So what constitutes a 2010 pixie crop? The second of our reasons above is the biggest clue. As women everywhere grow our their pixie crops and cropped bobs in 2010, the it'll be cut with longer features. In particular, we're recommending a brow length fringe swept to the side and held in place by a pomade.

A brief note on the half-head shaved hair cut that we witnessed in 2009: it should remain in 2009.
Not that there isn't an alternative. Nor do we no doubt that some people will be wearing it into 2010, but they'll be doing so long after the hair cut has reached commonality. Having been been popularised in 2008, and since interpreted by everyone from Alice Dellal to Rihanna, the haircuts evolution is long overdue.

If it has previously been a hair cut you've had, or been tempted to have, there are two clear options for you in 2010:
The latter will have more longevity.
Those looking for hair in 2010 that can be worn with just as much attitude should look above to the slicked hairstyle.
