Summer has officially ended (even if we have a coupe of extra HOT days in September) and we have all returned back to work and the schedule of regular life. But that is still not excuse to keep you look fresh and fabulous.
Here is a little preview for what to look for when shopping for update pieces for fall and winter wardrobe. Remember it is how you put these pieces into your current wardrobe that keep you current in a classical way with out making it look trendy.
Sparkle and Shine - Shinny and reflective fabric are HUGE this season. It is a easy way to really dress up an outfit. Be cautioned that the fit is correct. If sized too small make the body look large and in not a good way.
Mix and Match - a lot of designs are showing many different kinds of fabric materials together. Fur jacket, with a denim vest, with satin pants , with jersey shirt, all in one ensemble. If done correctly this is a very sophisticated look very posh. Find a common theme while pairing these materials. (colour family is a easy way)
Jackets - its fall and the trench is always good. Jackets of all kinds are being shown for this season, especially utilitarian in nature (trench, military or pea style coats just to give some examples). You can wear them as outer wear of as part of your ensemble. Make a statement with your jacket.
Winter Lace - Most of the time we think of lace as being very soft, light, summery type material. Well re think that for this season. Lace is brought into winter with bold dark strong colours and heavier construction.
Green is the new Black - colour is in (in a big way) this season but the hippiest, hottest colour this season is green. If you have any dark rich great articles you are so current. It is the new black, so think for a formal night out the little green dress for this winter.
Apres Ski - You have been skiing and boarding all day long and you get back to the chalet and you just want to put on your comfortable clothes. Well it has been glamorized this season. Heavy tights or dark denim trousers with stylized knit sweaters and jackets makes this look chic.
During your future shopping find pieces that will incorporate into you current wardrobe. Have fun! Keep looking fabulous because you are!
