Depending on the magazine, newspaper or website you refer to, each media outlet has their interpretation of the fall season and it becomes confusing to follow and understand what to invest in and how to incorporate them into your existing wardrobe. No worries. Below is a list of the current fall trends with a few suggestions on how to wear them.
The Trouser
Wide leg trousers and denim jeans with high waists are in.
The Blouse
Think feminine; ruffles, bows and soft "flowy" fabrics. These styles look ideal with the high waist trouser pant and it creates the perfect feminine silhouette.
The Dress
Dresses are making a big comeback this season particularly the knit dress. However, I caution women here that if you want to purchase this style, be sure to invest in the proper undergarments as this fabric is unforgiving. Don't be discouraged though as this is just one of many dress styles that are in. Similar to the spring trend, the shirt dress is back for this season and fortunately this style is one that looks great on all women.
The Blazer
Short and tailored are the "in" looks for fall. The tailored blazer looks especially great when paired with the wide-leg trouser pant.
The Coat
When the cool weather sets in, make sure you cover up with a unique, interesting and of course warm coat. No need to stick to with the basic coat this season. Instead opt for one of the many styles being shown this season that have details such as wide arms, large dramatic hoods, big belts and unusually large collars. Also, don't be afraid to select a coat with great color (purple, grey or wine) and/or a great print.
The Footwear
- The shoe-bootie is huge this season and since I'm petite in stature (5' tall), I'm excited to see the heel reaching new heights (3"+)
- The riding boot - many women happily embraced the ballet slipper this summer so the flat riding boot is a nice transition into the cooler and more covered up season. This is a great way to look polished and put together in a more casual and comfortable way. The riding boot paired with leggings or textured hose (fall trend) and a sweater dress (fall trend) is a chic way to incorporate all three trends!
The Accessories
It's all about being big and bold this season.
- Scarves - large graphic and colorful prints
- Handbag - the Satchel (in bold colors)
- Belts - back in a big way and being used on everything (coats, blouses, knit dresses, etc.)
- Textured tights and hose - looks great when paired with the shoe-bootie
- Jewelry
- Big & Bold Cuff Bracelets
- Big & Bold Cocktail Rings
- Necklaces - Pendants
Think Grey & Purple!
