FASHION TRENDS TO LOOK FOR THIS FALL

Summer is gone.  It went by with a blink of an eye!  I mean I love, love, love summer, but I also really love the clothes of the fall.  Especially here in Louisiana, it's not so many layers of clothes you have to wear but it can be just enough coverage to leave to the imagination.  I've come up with a short list of some of the hottest trends to look for this fall.

• Stilettos are gone.  Women are leaning more towards comfort this fall favoring low, heeled shoes, sneakers, running shoes, midi heels and wedges.
• Skirts for this fall season will be midi length, straight, bias cut, silk, circle, handkerchief hems, asymmetrical hems, and pleated.
• Pants are cropped, wide leg trousers, cargo pants, culottes and slim pants.
• Accessories.  Bucket handbags, clutches, fur bags.  Belts on suits, cocktail dresses and coats.
• Dresses. Maxi, shirt dresses, t-shirt dresses, tunics, sheaths, and slim fitting styles.  
• Coats.  Oversized coats, busy boxy mutilcolored furs, puffer coats and simple furs.
• Colors for this fall are dusty blue, sunshine yellow, topaz, reds, and blacks.
• Fabrics include brocades, leather, wool, cashmere, tweed, knits, velvet, lace, satin, and jacquard. 

Other fashion favs this fall include crew neck sweaters, statement necklaces, plaids, high collars, graphic and animal prints, zippers, and metallic shine will be very popular.

For my business divas, the single breasted 1 button slightly shrunker or cropped top suit in lighter colors will be very modern and chic.

This should get your imagination flowing a little bit.  I will have more videos and blogs in the upcoming weeks to keep you informed.
