CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: The new year brings new trends -- everything from fashion to food. And magazines and newspapers are coming out with their lists of what's hot and what's not in 2002.

CNN's Jeanne Moos is checking them to find out what we can expect in the new year.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): I you think "in and out" are what you do through a door, then you haven't poured over lists like these. PT Cruisers are out, Thunderbirds are in. Designer suits are out, HazMat suits are in. Cynicism's out, patriotism's in. So in that even triple-X porn shops are flying the flag.

It's time for the annual what's in, what's out indoctrination. Our pics come from lists published in the "Washington Post," "New York Newsday," and the "Chicago Tribune."

(on camera): Lasik eye surgery is out, prescription eyeglasses are in.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There you go.

MOOS (voice-over): You may need your glasses to read that counting chad is out, killing spores is in. Thongs are out, corsets are in. As for last year's fashion necessity, camouflage...

KRISTIN VAN OGTROP, EXEC. EDITOR, "GLAMOUR": No one is wearing it, except for, you know, if they're in combat.

MOOS: And "Glamour" magazine's executive editor says: Lose the leather.

OGTROP: Suede is really big for 2002. Gone is 2001 kind of head-to-toe Harley Davidson leather business.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm wearing all leather so, you know, it can't be out because I'm usually quite fashionable.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think that big jeans are going to be hot in the future.

MOOS (on camera): With pink balls? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, not necessarily pink balls.

MOOS (voice-over): That's a relief.

"Newsday" says vacation photos are out, photo IDs are in. The Delta shuttle is out, Acela train service is in. Hay fever's out, acid reflux is in.

Which brings us to food. "Bon Appetit" says comfort foods are hot.

TONYA STEELE, SR. EDITOR, "BON APPETIT": Homey things like soup. And there's been a return to high fat foods, ice cream sales are soaring, alcohol sales are soaring.

MOOS: "Bon Appetit" even predicted the next big ingredient.

STEELE: We chose for the ingredient of the coming year scallops.

MOOS: Folks on the street had a few in/out suggestions of their own.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What's really in is a consciousness to be more careful.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Status and image is out.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Gore is really out now.

MOOS: But Rudy is listed as in, even though he's out as mayor.

At the Warren Tricome (ph) salon, flat hair is out.

MOOS (on camera): Like this? This is flat?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's flat, but I love it.

EDRIS, HAIR STYLIST: Bedhead is in. Bedhair is in.

MOOS: Bedhair?

EDRIS: Bedhair. Natural, wavy hair is in.

MOOS (voice-over): Like you just got out of bed.

Speaking of bed, "Newsday" says sex, diamonds and chocolate are always in.

The "Washingtonian" lists going postal as out, but postal workers as in. My son the doctor is out, my son the firefighter is in.

All these in/out lists can leave you feeling listless.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We haven't ever paid any attention.

MOOS (on camera): So you think lists are out? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

MOOS (voice-over): Out, but irresistible. White House briefings out, Pentagon briefings in. The three tenors out, the singing cop in.

And forget this:

(on camera): The high-five is out. Do you know what's in?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is it something like that, or what?

MOOS: See, this woman knows.

(voice-over): You know the fist pump has gone mass when it moves from sports to corporate mergers.

"GQ" put out an overrated list for 2001; definitely overrated was the promise of 70 black-eyed virgins for suicide bombers. Whatever you do, don't count on a kid to know what's in or out.

UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I don't know, I'm only 6.

MOOS: His tongue was in, now it's out.

Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.
