Wardrobe Must-Haves for Fall Season:
Coats and jackets are an essential part of your fall wardrobe, after all you need to keep warm and look cool while doing so. They offer balance and style to you outfit and are practical at the same time. They can add a touch of glamour to a very messy outfit. The colors that are in this season are beige, black and olive. The best jacket that has everything can be found at Ann Taylor Loft. Full length coats in navy or black are available at Zara, try neutral colors and plaid for a European sartorial look. Corduroys may belong to the seventies, but don’t underrate them just yet. They add a certain texture, spunk to any outfit. You can get trendy corduroys at Madewell, that fits well and add style. Sweaters are an obvious staple. Layer your sweater for more versatility and fun. Get cashmere, cable and woolen sweaters at J. Crew. Fabrics that are trendy for fall include leather which gives you a cool vibe, but go overboard by adding too much leather to a single outfit. Lace is an unusual choice for fall, given that this light fabric is meant for spring and summer. Lace looks pretty in all colors but don’t wear more than two pieces at a time. Your look should be soft and feminine, not bridal! Plaid coats, socks and button downs are the best for this fabric. Metallic’s are also hot, try adding some to you accessories and clothing. Places that will help you to get the right look are Cusp, Anthropologie and GAP.
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!
