Fashion Trends For Fall

Ah, that chilly nip is in the air again as summer finally loosens its grip on the season it is time to think about warmer styles, layering and yes, even those holiday parties that will soon be around the corner.

A new twist to the familiar business suit may come in the form of tweed. Tweeds can come in any colours. I saw a really nice one in shades of purple one recently. With the suit comes the more feminine looking blouse which is made from paisleys and florals for a more feminine touch. Colours for these rich additions to the wardrobes include chocolate browns, purples, spice colours to greens.

Gold is the colour of choice for jewelry with the accessories being on the smaller scale or layered and pearls are back this year and seen both around the neck and on the wrists.

Boots are in this year as they have been in the past. Lengths from the ankle all the way to the knee are hot for the fall as well as practical too. 

When it comes to Casual Fridays, some women tend to be at a loss as to what to wear. While you don’t want to go with jeans, t shirts and hoodies, you still want to look casual, but professional because, after all you are still at work. Khakis are the casual pant of choice. Put it together with a white cotton shirt and maybe a jean jacket or a corduroy jacket and you are good to go. But if that is how you dress during the week, jeans with a cotton blouse and boots might be an option for you. Your place of work will dictate what you can and cannot wear. If you wear suits throughout the week to work, and khakis and cotton are just too casual, team up dress pants with a silk or finer material shirt rather than its more casual cotton cousin.

When it comes to fall and fashion though, you don’t have to sacrifice your personal style when it comes to work. If you are in the market for some new duds, go shopping, take a trusted friend with you, try on a lot of clothes and have your friend give you their honest opinion and see what works on you and what doesn’t and go from there. In no time, you will be looking like a whole new person (well, maybe not, but a well dressed you at least!!!)
