Women who love fashion are always looking for new hot clothing trends to relieve the boredom of last year's beloved, but fashion-challenged costumes. Fashion lovers enjoy the variation of clothing designs from year to year, perhaps akin to a wearable art appreciation class. Past trends are creatively restated by fashion design geniuses each year. Of course, being limited by the shape and contours of the human body, there are only so many possible combinations.

So, while it's true that even the hottest clothing trends hearken back to another decade or century, each iteration is culturally driven by the times. For example, one of the on-fire clothing trends now are ethnic fashions, suggesting African, Indian and Asian traditional costumes, modified styles to be wearable as practical street and office wear.

Another hot trend speaks to a desire for the romance and nostalgia of the 19th century, when women were lacy, feminine and alluring in their modestly cut dresses designed to attract men with the pleasantly mysterious quality such clothing delivered.

The Impressionistic floral patterns of this latest trend can make you look and feel as though you were part of Monet's garden at Giverney. A similarly motivated hot clothing trend is the new take on the retro Hollywood movie star look of the 1940s, with sophisticated and sleek designs, in tailored cuts. Oh, to be Rita Hayworth, when the world was so much more civilized!

Two trends of the 1960s and early 1970s have resurfaced this year, in an updated look that makes them irresistible to today's fashion lover. Tie-dye shirts, scarves and dresses used to be mostly home made affairs, without a great deal of sophisticated at the time.

Go take a look and see how textiles lend a new dimension to this remake of 1960s cool. The other hot design today is eco-friendly clothing, which made its debut in the early 1970s. The new twist today is that today's trend elaborates on the original concept, with organically grown fibers being the material of choice, in a far greater selection of colors and styles.

A British fashion trend of the early 1970s, the day-glow bright colors mixed in incongruous ways, are making a second appearance, a sizzling hot current clothing trend.

During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the large, splashy black and white dresses were seen on such legendary actresses as Audrey Hepburn. Today's fashion designers have come up with some pretty interesting new takes for admirers of this look.

Adventurous women won't want to miss the new trend of menswear for women, nipped and tucked in all the right places. Unless you're quite courageous, the see-through clothing is fun to look at on the runway.

For the more demure, a see-through handbag may do the trick.
What hot clothing trend permeates every style? Glitz. From jewelry to shoes and accessories, the metallic items add the spice.
Makes you want to shop, eh?
