Thick, glossy magazines boast page after page of "runway to your way," but who has the dough to actually purchase anything that's featured? Identifying trends can be hard enough, let alone interpreting how to wear the fringe and not let the fringe wear you.
DISCUSSION
DENIM
Thankfully, the current fall trends have been scouted and scripted for you here: how to handle mustard yellow, what 1970s pieces to jibe with and which shoes will have you skipping down the hill.
DHDISCOUSION
had enough denim yet? This fashion staple has been through every possible hue, fit and feel. This fall, there are no rules. Dresses, jumpers, skirts, vests and jackets are all OK. But remember, people, this is not a Britney Spears music video. Also, keep in mind that denim on denim is not new to the scene. Unless you're investing in a nice chambray shirt or dark pair of jeans, stick to thrifting for your quirky finds.
The 1970s had its moment, and someone at the top of the fashion ladder thought it was time to bring it back.
NOT-SO-SUBTLE 1970S
How does this translate into everyday clothing? Ribbed everything, light denim, mock necks and denim skirts. The decade's basics have been reinvented with a twist, so you probably can't get away with wearing something straight from your mom's closet or your seventh-grade jean skirt. Here's what you can do: Incorporate a ribbed crop tank into your closet to wear with high-waisted jeans or a button-up denim mini. And for an easy transition into the cooler months, add a pair of light wash skinny jeans to your rotation.
MUST-HAVE MUSTARD
This color could fall under 1970s but is so abundant that it deserves its own paragraph. Mustard yellow is an incredibly tricky color to master and is usually best in small doses. Try it as an accent color with accessories like headbands and scarves, or layered under a shirt or jacket. This rich color looks best paired with neutrals like cream, denim or gray.
PLAID, NOT PREPPY
Last year, plaid skirts leapt from the depths of 1990s chick flicks into stores every
where. You will still see these around, but this fall, your classic plaid shirt is coming out in full force. Don't overthink it — tie one around your waist and throw it on when nights turn crisp. Go for super soft and extra-thrived for the full effect.
Recently, menswear has swept the ladies off their feet. Collars, hues of blue and straight silhouettes made an especially lasting impression, especially in the spring. The influence it will leave in the next few months is on silhouettes. Keep an eye open for longer lengths, boxy cuts and unique shapes. This can be a fun way to try something different while sticking with a safe color or fabric.
OXFORDS,MAN
Okay, so maybe a little prepy or formal, but oxfordes are the shoe for the fall, and it's kind of awesome. What would you rather walk up and down the hill in, flip-flops or chic sneakers? The beauty of oxfordes is the wide array of styles, colors and heel heights. Choose what speaks to you. Go buy a pair of penny loafers from Forever 21 or the oxford version of Doc Martens. Either way, you'll be on trend while still keeping in tune with your own style.
