How do you tackle fall fashion? Trying to determine what to buy, and how to complete your look from head to toe can be overwhelming. Putting all these pieces together can equate to an epic wardrobe or epic fail. As someone who loves fashion, but more so love seeing how people style their pieces each season and especially on trend pieces, my goal is to see everyone have a wardrobe that is versatile enough that when you step foot outside, you make a statement whether bold or subtle.  In order to ensure you nail fall fashion, I will cover every fashion category. Clothing, shoes, and bags are all categories that I will breakdown to ensure you nail your fall wardrobe. Because there is so much to cover, I decided to break down the post into 3 parts. In today’s post, we cover part 1, clothing. I select 5 clothing trends that will ensure your style game is on point this season. Why I select these trends, and where to shop the fall trends at all price points are highlighted, so get your note pads and get ready to take notes.

Leather

I started my luxury retail career working for a leather company in Toronto Canada. I worked for the company for several years and created a love for leather garments. The brand created classic leather pieces that truly with stood the test of time (I still have pieces that are over 15 years old). With that said you can only imagine my joy to see the reemergence of leather this season. Leather is everywhere y’all! Your fall fashion this season must consist of leather. You truly cannot be on trend without including a piece of leather into your wardrobe. Although leather items may be a bit pricey, I strongly encourage you to shop leather pieces on sale (I just got two pieces on sale), And also keep in mind when you are making these slightly higher ticket purchases, that leather truly does not go out of style, and it lasts forever. I have leather pieces that are literally over 10 years old. If spending $300-$1000 on a letter item is way out of your budget don’t worry because there are so many faux leather pieces that look amazing. The beauty about this fall trend is that the faux leather look is just has good has real leather.

Key leather garments to invest in are; dresses, crop-pants, and midi skirts.

Statement sleeves

Guys, I am obsessed with puffy/statements sleeves! There’s something about a statement sleeve that gives off an avant-garde vibe and I’m here for it. Elaborate sleeves first made an appearance in the 80s and has remerged in a modern way. The new statement sleeve is easy to wear and will transition from day to night seamlessly. This is one fall trend that I could truly wear every day because the statement sleeve elevates your outfit of the day. Whether it’s a subtle or over the top sleeve, I recommend everyone gets some form of statement sleeve to include into your fall fashion line-up.

Key statement sleeves to invest in are; dresses, light-weight sweaters, and blazers.

 

Suiting

I think it’s clear to say that suiting might just be the most popular fall fashion trend this season. Some may not consider suits to be trendy because pretty much everyone owns a suit. However silhouettes, fabrics, and color, are the three key factors that play into making a suit on trend. The one suit silhouette you cannot avoid this season is the oversized blazer, or the dad blazer. Women are wearing oversized blazers over jeans, skirts, high-rise wide leg pants, name it! This look was seen at every fashion week and continues to be a big hit. The great thing about this fall trend is that if you do not want to buy a new suit, simply borrow one from your man, or your dad! If you decide to borrow an oversize suit make sure it highlights key fabric such as plaid, and houndstooth. In addition to that, bright colors such as neon green, yellow, and orange, are all suit colors that will ensure you were on trend for this fall season.

Key suits to invest in are; oversized suits, plaid suits, and bright colored suits.
