There are actually some fun trends for Fall. There are of
course some trends that I’m skeptical of. Let’s start with what I think is
great:

Country club chic is in. Think less “I
just fell in Lily Pulitzer” and more subtle. A cashmere sweater with dark jeans
and a pearl necklace. It’s going to be more about softer prints instead of big,
loud ones. Look for vintage-y prints and cuts that are very feminine.

Belts are sticking around, which I kind of
like. I do believe a belt on a shapeless garment provides instant shape and
that a belt can make your waist look smaller.

Tailored, knee length dresses with nipped
in dresses are going to be everywhere. Very Hitchcock heroine. To keep the look
going pair up these dresses with a cropped trapeze jacket.

Pencil skirts are sticking around as the
work essential. The look is tres chic when accompanied by a cropped belted
jacket.

Statement jewelry is still in. I mean
really, does it EVER go out? The standards still apply: big, bold necklaces;
swingy, hanging earrings; big chunky artisan looking pieces are in; mixed
metals; pearls; and vintage pieces.

There is reason to rejoice! Wide leg pants
are still rocking this season!

Sweater coats and cardigans are big this
season. Though I feel like they are such a staple and never really go away.

While neutral colors are still going to be
prolific this season keep an eye out for rich, gorgeous colors like berry,
magenta, emerald, bright yellow, sapphire blue, bold red and purple.

Large top handle bags in exotic animal
skins (crocodile, snakeskin, ostrich, etc), faux or real

Evening wear is still
leaning towards the sparkly and fabulous. How could sequins EVEN be out?

Tomorrow I will be covering the Fall trends that leave me confused and disturbed.
