Following the Trends

Posted in Fall Fashion tagged , , , , , at 9:00 am by S&P Editor

Have no clue about what’s in style this fall? You’re not alone. Here are a few trends that are moving from the runways to clothing stores:

Color-CodedVibrant hues in shades like egg plant and mustard (a.k.a. purple and yellow) are all over the place. When incorporating these rich tones into your fall wardrobe play around with textures and prints, such as cashmere and florals, to spice things up.
 
Isaac Mizrahi for Target carries a line of cashmere sweaters in a variety of styles and colors at prices far less than what you would pay at a major department store.

Pretty in Plaid: No, you won’t  look like a lumberjack. . . promise! Some top designers came up with creative ways to make plaid look fab.

While wearing the print from head-to-toe is not realistic for most, Forever 21Banana Republic and Dillards offer a few options to consider for your wardrobe — without going overboard.

Heavy Metal: When it comes to accessories, having the right ones can take an outfit to the next level. Another hot trend is hardware details: zippers, chains and studs.

From handbags to shirts to shoes, adding this subtle — or not-so-subtle — detail can upgrade your entire look.

Designer Michael Kors is well known for adding these finishing touches to his handbags and clothing.

“T” Time: One of this season’s hottest shoe trends is the t-strap platform heel. From actress Lauren London to pop star Rihanna, celebs are rocking them on the red carpet and beyond. Simply put, they’re everywhere.

But if you can’t afford the high-fashion (and pricey) Cesare Paciotti pair that the self-proclaimed “good girl gone bad” wore to this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, don’t fret!

Cheaper versions like Payless ShoeSource’s Jade T-Strap Platform or Steve Madden’s Rufles heel can help up the style factor on your favorite outfit without breaking the bank.

Question of the Week: What do you think about these trends? Will you be wearing them (or none at all)? Leave a comment.
