What’s Trending: Women’s Fall Fashion Report

Posted

By: Melanie Signer-Marketing Coordinator

Fall is here! In the fashion world, this fall comes with a mix of traditional fall staples and some non-traditional elements.

Let’s start with the Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2014. This season’s color palette is full of vibrant colors you might not normally associate with fall and winter. Bright colors are being represented loud and proud this fall in footwear, apparel, even accessories. Rich tones like royal blue, cognac and cypress add balance to the color pallet.

“This is a season of untypical colors—more reflective of the imagination and ingenuity, which makes for an artful collection of colors and combinations not bound by the usual hues for fall.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone.

So, what’s hot in Women’s fashion for fall 2014?

• Wide leg trousers are a great alternative to skinny or tight legged pants. Pair with a slim, fitted top or a cropped jacket and a heavier looking shoe to balance the look.
• Pastel hues are here to stay! Make sure you’re wearing them in winter appropriate fabrics such as knits, wool and leather.

• Chunky knits are replacing your plain crew neck sweaters this season. Layer with a thin peek-a-boo tee and a tailored shoe for a casual look.

Be on the look out for these footwear trends:

• Hot this season is the tailored footwear look for women. Pair your lace up loafers with a dress or skirt for an edgier look. The chunky heel is back!

The Clarks Ciera Pier is class, with a touch of sass.

The Cobb Hill Georgina puts a feminine twist on the men’s tailored look.

Earthies Libson would pair nicely with jeans or a dress.

• More walkable than heels but just as flattering, wedges will add flare to your fall wardrobe. Be it a lace up or a bootie with buckles, they are great with jeans or tights and a dress! These wedge booties can take you day into night.

The Blondo Liberata is waterproof, making it the perfect wedge bootie for fall and winter.
