Where did the summer go? Don’t get too sullen packing away your sundresses and swimsuits; there is plenty to be excited about with cooler temps. Although fall has not officially arrived, it has on the runway! Here are my favorites from an extensive list of trends. As always, a past decade is making a comeback: this time, it’s the ’80s. Review your wardrobe to find out what you need (and what you just have to have). Happy shopping!
pantsuit
The pantsuit aka the power suit doesn’t have to make you yawn. This fall, styles get even more spiced up with slits, patterns and embellishments; you’ll be sure to get your point of view across in any meeting.
statement dress
This print will make any head turn. A fashionable dress is the perfect look for any season and an ideal choice for day or evening.
ruffles
Ruffles are everywhere! Paired with a sheer fabric, a dress becomes instantly romantic.
red
Red of various shades is the power color of fall, day or night. Make it pop with anything in your closet.
oversized coat
A puffy, printed coat is the perfect topper. Not your favorite silhouette? Other options include a belted, double-breasted or quilted style to keep you fashionably warm.
cable sweater/floral print/fuller skirt
Combine these three trends for a fresh fall look. Top off a printed bottom with a bold, solid color (other than black if you can help it).
belted bag
There’s always a new twist on the handbag of the season. It’s all in the details: belted and buckled in a cross-body style for a hands-free option.
plaid
Everyone is mad for plaid, either in rich colors or the traditional muted tones of taupe and black. Wear it as a piece of your ensemble, or just as an accessory.
