This year’s runway showcased some fabulous fall fashion trends. Here are some of the highlights:
POWER OF RED
One color you must embrace this fall is red! There’s a reason why you feel empowered when wearing this color — it symbolizes both energy and strength. Add red to your wardrobe this fall through these ideas:
- Red silk dress
- Red pumps
- Red cross body handbag
- Red silk scarf
"There is a shade of red for every woman." — Audrey Hepburn
WESTERN
Yes, Western! Chalk it up to the fashions worn by the stars on the show “Nashville” because Western wear is here to stay. The best way to embrace this trend is cowboy boots, which look great with dresses, skirts and denim jackets.
THE HIGH VICTORIAN COLLAR
It’s back! High collar blouses and long sleeves are so much better than a turtleneck.
PLAIDS
Don’t think of this as the grunge plaids of the 90s, but rather the funloving, colorful plaids of the 70s. A plaid shirt is all you need to be on trend this fall.
THE LEISURE SUIT
It’s really another name for the cozy suit and another name for wearing head-to-toe sweats. Be brave and wear this trend the way singer Rihanna does with sky-high stilettos.
FLORALS
The floral trend is a carryover from spring, so embrace the look in fall colors of eggplant and rich wine via dresses and skirts.
Now that you’re all set for fall, snap a pic of how you’re wearing one of these trends and post on social media with the hashtag: #iamgcw.
