Fall Fashion 101...

Every Fashionista’s favorite season is finally upon us...Fall. Each Fall as we flip our closets from summer dresses to winter sweaters, we sing praise to the return of outerwear, accessories a plenty of leather boots. Fall is a sophisticated season and “most” of the trends can be worn by all.
Some of the key trends to add to your wardrobe this Fall/Winter are shoulder accents, bold pops of color and yes...the 80’s fashions are still important to the wardrobe...

Draw attention to your Head and Shoulders with tuxedo style jackets and a “must have” leather biker. These jackets can be worn with everything from jeans to an evening gown (remember to be occasion appropriate). They give a finished, polished look while adding a little flare and spice to any outfit. If you prefer to wear your jackets as outwear then choose ruffles to draw attention to your head and shoulders. Beware of the ruffle though. The ruffle look can be tricky to pull off. The ruffle has the tendency to make almost anyone look fuller on the top. It is a great accent though...if you love ruffle, try a ruffle scarf.

Ahhhh, finally there was color on the Fall Runways....pops of color amongst the typically greys, charcoals and blacks added vitality to the runway and can to your wardrobe as well. Look for pops of neon in electric yellow, blue, pink and purple. Accessories are the perfect way to add a pop of color...be careful not to overdo it, you don’t want to look like you are attending an 80’s roller skating party.

Speaking of 80’s.... the Old school trend continues to be strong for the Fall/Winter season. Fortunately for all of us, designers learned from the past and have taken a more sophisticated approach to the 80’s look. Silhouettes are slimmer and though there are still embellishments a plenty, they are much more toned down this go around.

Fall is a time to have fun with your wardrobe...layer appropriately, accessorize just right and show a little Fall Sass as you stroll down the street...you look good and you know it!!!
