Leather: For some it means luxury, for others attitude and still others consider leather and investment that gets better with age. Whatever the reason for your attraction or addiction to leather, it is back and in a big way. From pants to jackets to trim, leather can offer or add a dramatic or edgy quality to a garment while maintaining the integrity of its design, if used properly.
Color: Punches of pink, juicy jolts of orange and lush strokes of intense apple green are going to be necessary fashion hues this fall. These colors are the pops that add drama to the browns, blacks and neutrals to create the desired fashion effect: urban cool, casual chic or uptown sophistication; there is definitely a place in everyone’s wardrobe for these statement-making shades.
Gypsy: We see a bohemian/gypsy influence for fall found in everything from blouse silhouettes that are fluid and unstructured to details such as fringe on bags, burnished charms and balls on belts. We see layering of oversized knits paired with belts and boots.
Saddle up: Equestrian chic rides again. The look is playful ad pristine all at once. Color is key: the use of orange, neutrals, ivory and shades of chocolate brown as well as cognac accessories create a winning look.
Suiting: The look is sleek, refined, feminine and modern. Well if you haven’t already guessed, suits are big and there isn’t one “right” one. There are, however, key elements that must be present: good taste, good fit and great fabric.
Separates: We are all looking for items that offer versatility. Jackets allow you to take an outfit from simple to spectacular; Pieces move from day to evening, from home to office and week to weekend. Look for great pieces that resurrect the items you already have in your wardrobe as well as some that make basics look anything but!
