The change in the weather signals the change from our summer
wardrobe to fall. Find which pieces you own are decidely in style and
what items of clothing you need to buy to keep your look updated and
fresh. Here are the hot designs for fall clothing.
Clothing Highlights for Fall
- Gray is the new black ... still. But don't forget about black. Everyone looks good in this color, which hides flaws.
- Styles
are retro, but not from any one particular decade. Mix '50s-cut skirt
with a shirt from the '30s and accessories from the '20s.
- Short-sleeved cropped jackets are hot. Wear them to dress up jeans or as part of a suit to work.
- Trapeze, swing and A-line shirts and jackets show movement and are fresh and fun.
- Suits in houndstooth, herringbone, and tweed fabrics provide interest beyond mere cut and color of the outfit.
- Menswear-inspired pieces that are cut to fit a woman's body are flattering and a powerful statement.
- Poof skirts: You hated them when Angela was wearing them and making them on Project Runway, but now they are mainstream.
- Wrap anything. Find a wrap that works for you, whether it be on a shirt, dress, or coat.
- Dress
in layers. It may have once been a marketing ploy to get people to buy
more than one piece of clothes, but it also extends the life of your
clothes into different occasions and seasons. The truth is, layering
clothing is simply versatile.
- Belted clothing. Belts went the
way of feathered hair back in the '80s, but now the belts are back.
Find them on jackets and dresses. A belted tunic is a trendy look and
don't forget about a trench coat.
- Covered legs are also back.
No more bare legs in skirts. And right in time for cooler weather too.
Warm up with nylons, tights, or even leg warmers, if you dare. Colored
and pattern hosiery is in.
- Coats with flashes of color of shiny details are popular. Think big metal buttons, wide belts, and shearling swaths.
Must-Have Accessories for Fall
- Shoes that get noticed are all over. Find colorful shoes, playful patterns, and animal prints in many stores.
- Patent-leather shoes have a shiny retro look but have a mod-glamor look for today.
- Ankle boots, also called booties, are the season's It shoes.
- High-heeled Oxfords are manly yet sexy and perfect for spicing up your office look.
- Layer your jewelry, just as you layer your clothing.
- Cocktail rings that scream for attention are fun to wear and give a little sparkle during the long day at the keyboard.
- Large
handbags are everywhere. And they seem even larger with shiny,
look-at-me fabrics to draw the eye. Find metallic hues or patent
leather in all price ranges.
- Clutch purses are perfect for the woman who needs to grab it and go
