Fall Fashion Trends

It's October and fall is definitely in full effect. I came up with four trends that are going to be very popular this season.

 

Plaid

Plaid is always going to be a classic and timeless trend that just won’t go away. Plaid can be seen on just about anything clothing piece like shirts, scarves and pants just to name a few. The pattern can easily be dressed up or dressed down and is a print that seems to work for any occasion; day or night, and can suit to anyone’s style.

From typical flannel shirts to bolder pieces like pants, plaid has definitely taken over and has become a staple piece for anyone’s closet.

My favorite plaid trend this year has been the revival of the plaid skirt. The phrase "plaid skirt" might make you cringe. These sophisticated colors make these skirts come off more chic and modern.

 

Ethnic Inspiration

Ethnic inspired prints come in many styles, colors and are very versatile with anything.  They can be worn by both men and women and can easily be worn dressed up or casual.   

The popular must have dashiki print has easily become a staple piece.  These African prints are timeless and can give a whole new definition to an outfit while taking pride in your culture. Whether you wear them with jeans or on their own, they'll look just as eye-catching.  The Dashik is very popular in West African countries. Dashiki is derrived from the word "danshiki" which means shirt. These prints are also being worn by top celebrities such as Beyonce, Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Men, women and children are all into the dashiki trend from this summer.

 

 

 

 

Comfy oversized sweaters

As temperatures slowly drop, it’s still possible to stay warm and cute for class. Knit turtleneck sweaters are an easy combination of a sweater and a scarf. Thick and knitted turtlenecks have really been popular lately. They're warm and versatile and can be paired with anything from jeans to a midi skirts.

Fair Isle prints are also a very popular sweater pattern this fall.  These prints are multicolored knit patterns inspired by the traditional and colorful knitting technique that originated in Northern Scotland. It’s also a modern take on the classic “Bill Cosby” 80’s sweater.

 

Earth tone colors

The season is changing and the leaves are falling. The earthtone color scheme includes the browns, tans, warm grays, burgundy and greens in an attempt to emulate the colors of nature. Bohemian fashions of the 60’s and 70s used these colors for a bohemian vibe. Desginers like Yves St. Laurent  and Valentino adopted this trend and found better ways of putting together these earthy and rusty hues into a new symphony of color.

Earth toned colors can be found in any fall clothing piece to sweaters, pants, scarves and bags.
