Fall forward into fashion

Fall Forward into Fashion

You can feel it in the air. It is starting to get crisp in the evenings and early mornings, the leaves are all changing color and beginning to accumulate on the ground, and all of your favorite coffee shops have pumpkin and caramel infused coffees, teas, and treats. It’s the fall season! To some this means the end of summer and the impending doom of winter, but to fashionistas all over the world, this is one of the best seasons that we wait all year for.

Why? Because the return of fall means the return of fall fashion, which means putting away the sandals and taking out those cute boots that look good with just about everything. It also means adding a cardigan or sweater, as well as donning that snug jacket or coat, and it means the heralded return of your favorite scarves that can be worn in many stylish way.

One of the biggest trends that you can expect to see this fall is flashy accessories. Costume jewelry is back in a big way and the oversized statement pieces are dominating against a backdrop of simplistic design. From bling brooches to sparkly hair accessories and the presence of exceedingly eye-catching earrings, the look is everywhere and is being particularly embraced by Prada and Balenciaga.

In the shoe department, we are seeing office wear go completely chic in the adoption of loafers. Stilettos give way to a stacked kitten heel as comfort takes center stage, as well as practical black boots that can take you through the fall and into the winter. We are also seeing higher than thigh high boots as well, which are both warm and sexy. Paired with the latest trends in skirts for the season, you are bound to see these with carwash pleated skirts, as well as flounce hems. We are also continuing to see hem lines raise, as many designers harness the appeal of a shorter skirt.

When it comes to pants, however, how high can we go, seems to be a question on a lot of designers minds, as they push the waistline of pants up even higher than we have previously seen them, with a lengthening and slimming effect that amplifies the shape.

As jackets and coats are always a fall favorite, what is trending in this design area is always of high interest. 2015 is seeing an emphasis on cuffs and fur accents. We are also seeing exaggerated sleeve lengths that are hiding the hands and elongating the arms. And yet, somehow, one of the season’s hottest and most unexpected garment accessories is gloves; in every form and fashion, gloves are hitting the scene in a big way.

Aside from swaddling ourselves in all of the new trends to hit the retail racks, fall also means the launch of new fashion look books and lines, and the beginning of fashion show season. Although the current fashion weeks in session are a look forward to Spring and Summer designs for 2016, it gives us something to look forward to for the next season and gives us an idea of where trends are heading.

The year’s rounds of fashion weeks commence throughout September and October, scheduled to be held in every major fashion capital in the world. Having already kicked off in New York in the second week of September, followed by London in the third, the Mercedes Benz fashion week circuit heads off next to Milan, Sydney, and Paris for the last week of September and first week of October, followed by Budapest, Shenzhen, and Istanbul, throughout the second week of October, and finishing off in Tokyo and Beijing in mid to end of October; see here for the full calendar details.

Being incredibly stylish and comfortable in the present with a wonderful glimpse into the future, there is so much for a fashion lover to look forward to in fall, and this little rendition is really only the beginning.
