| Ladies, it’s officially time to put the beach bags away! The runways are brimming with something for every fashionista this fall. Whether you stay close to the classics, are a playful risk-taker, or suited professional, there are updates and must-have pieces that should be incorporated into your wardrobe this season. A fresh modern edge is the mindset for fall. While last year off shoulder tops had their moment, this year, it's all about the asymmetrical neckline. A slanted, one-shoulder top perfectly highlights the collarbone and shoulders without showing it all. This minor neckline tweak is all you need to elevate your look to fresh chic for fall. For those mighty risk takers, here's the perfect place to layer in cheetah. The asymmetrical top is so on trend, but in a beloved animal print, heads will be turning. This season, Cheetah will be spotted every-where, but be careful not to dress head to toe in this edgy trend – less is more here. Pair cheetah with your revered denim jeans or if you’re heading out on the town, kick it up a notch with pants or a pencil skirt. Slip into another fall front runner: leather pants. Think about rocking a color like rich burgundy or warm brandy; hybridize hues to be on point with this look. Never ever worry my black beauties…you are always on trend. Black leather, coupled with cheetah or a bold colored top, is guaranteed to update your fall look. A soft, buttery leather can also be utilized as suiting for an updated look in the workplace. Try swapping out your black blazer with a form-fitted leather jacket. Or, to keep up the edge, aim to incoporate blazers with sharp shoulders or outside belting. A belt on the outside of a jacket is a sneaky way to show a smaller waist and illuminate your chic. Last but not least, don’t forget to work with patterns like heritage tweed or checks. Wearing a matching two-piece suit has fallen out of favor the last two years. If you’re not ready to step out of your traditional suit, simply start by adding in texture like animal print or satin underneath your suit jacket. You will be the envy at the office–the look they’ll want to copy. We can't dismiss the icing on the cake. Designers are loving capes this season. From couture runway to PTA meeting, a cape is arguably luxe and the silhouette compliments all body types – a win-win. With textures such as velvet, tweed and lush cashmere, a cape is the ultimate go-to for an updated look this fall. A chic woman who is not convinced by the cape and doesn't want to hang up her beloved trench or denim jacket–have no fear. Simply throw your prized denim, motto or trench jacket over your shoulders for a modernistic cape look. Mimick the cape without spending a dime. Enjoy the bountiful colors this fall while embracing the lively new trends and twists to your existing wardrobe. Ladies, you’re in charge of your wardrobe and you’re your own stylist. Don’t hesitate to add your own unique flare this fall season! |
