Fall is my favorite time of year when it comes to fashion. It can also be a time when we ask ourselves, “What do I wear this season, and what do I need to buy?” If you’re not in the fashion world, keeping up with trends can feel daunting. After attending New York Fashion Week, here’s a quick recap to keep you in the fashion game.
Power suiting is back with ’90s-inspired minimalism. Blazers and trousers are now everyday staples—perfect from the boardroom to dinner. Deep, romantic hues, including chocolate, grape, plum and sage, dominated the runways, especially in monochromatic looks that made a striking impact.
Outerwear is sleek and elongated. Think floor-sweeping trench coats with dramatic flair. Animal print remains a staple but softly styled this season, paired with warm tones, including brown or raspberry, instead of black.
Shoes are sharp and statement-making. Pointed-toe pumps and boots bring a bold, elongated silhouette to any outfit.
For blouses, think less secretary, more seduction—silky, flowing and full of movement.
This fall is all about elegance with an edge—refined yet expressive and powerful yet wearable.
