For a season that is corner-stoned around the color black, the runway has been telling us just the opposite. We have more options!
Taboo Turned Over.
“White after labor day…”
Winter whites: layers of different shades are appealing and cozy.
thanks to: Fashion Toast
Key: Rich fabrics with texture & plush.
No-No! No white tights!!!!!
Colors.
Imagine the word, “rich.”
Red.
thanks to: Because I’m Addicted
Key: Let the outfit speak for itself. Buying a single dress in a solid color, like red or cobalt, can make you the apple of everyone’s eye.
No-No! If you choose to do red accents, don’t over-accessorize with just red; bring in other colors!
Black & Gold.
Find one knockout garment to take you through every season
thanks to: Street Fashion
Key: Make a statement with your clothes or your accents, not both.
No-No! Don’t over-do!
Prints.
We often associate prints with spring and summer, but for what kind of print works for the fall season besides animal print? Fallen leaves?
Take a step back to this shiny, sophisticated and elegant look, perfect for fall and incorporating all the right colors!
Bejeweled-intentional baroque look.
thanks to: Atlantic-Pacific
Key: Be careful!
No-No! You can easily go from couture to costume.
Silhouettes.
Structured. Well-placed seams and graphic lines.
thanks to: Two White Birds
Key: Try it on! See if it flatters or fixates…glorifying the body is key!
No-No! Don’t buy the garment off the rack thinking that could work on anyone…peplum is a tricky look to wear!
Long sleeves, High Necklines & Floor Length Dresses.
Glamour comes back to fashion. Deeply textured and rich fabric holds more attention than skin exposing skirts and shirts.
thanks to: The Trend Diaries
Key: Try it on!
No-No! Don’t let it swallow you. It' s a very conservative look but don’t leave the house looking like you’re hiding in a paper bag!
Like Paris, these staples are always a good idea.
Black knit or leather leggings, pointed heels and structured bags.
thanks to: The Street Styled
Key: Although these basics work in multiple combinations, take your look to the next level by pulling in 1-2 current trends to make your outfit extra fabulous!
