It’s that time of year to take inventory of what you have in your closet to get ready for fall. What should you add to update your wardrobe? Fashion Group International has published its list of ‘best bets’ that are expected to make it from the runway to reality. Some trends look familiar, others are completely new. Here are some of my favorites from the list. Remember, no matter what’s trending, feel comfortable and confident by staying true to your personal style!
« green note
If you can’t see yourself pulling off the more dramatic trends, add a touch of Pantone’s color of the year, Greenery, with an accessory. Think earrings, bracelet or scarf!
« shearling coat
Coats can be dramatic, and this one will certainly turn heads. Shearling provides extra warmth, and you’ll definitely be ‘on fire’ wearing it in red.
« the beret
You’ll be headed in the right direction with the beret. Any fabric will do, from leather to fur. Already have one? Put a fedora on your shopping list!
« layering
Pile it on, and layer up! Experiment with a jacket over a coat, vest over a sweater, dress over pants, sheer overlay over anything. Mix it up, and add or subtract pieces depending on the weather.
« leather jacket
Leather (or pleather) is always a favorite for fall. The bomber jacket is certainly commanding in its own right. If you’re looking for other options, try a full-length leather coat or leather gloves.
« racing stripes
Stripes can be slenderizing, especially when vertical. You’ll be on track with this much-welcomed comfort trend. It’s easy to accomplish the look through activewear pieces in apparel and footwear.
« crystal boots
These boots are made for walking, so strut right into the party. Too blingy, you say? Choose other styles or heels (chunky, stacked) to accompany your outfit.
« the key
Unlock new options in jewelry, from earrings to pendants. This trend is the key to anyone’s heart.
« the structured bag
Architecturally speaking, handbags are designed with character. Zip it up with this one from Fendi.
