September is here which means it’s time for fashionistas everywhere to assemble their fall wardrobes. Here are my top 12 picks for the most stylish trends this fall accompanied by pictures from Nieman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue.
- Purple Reign and Berrylicious: these gorgeous shades give any outfit a pop.
- Satin for Daytime: it’s always been a staple for evening but now it’s a lovely look for daytime too.
- Lace: a sexy classic, especially in a black dress.
- Plaid Fad: especially for teens, this is a fresh trend in darker colors.
- Cardigan Sweaters: it’s not just your boyfriend’s sweater anymore!
- Jackets: from rugged leather to ladylike chic, there’s a shorter length one for just about everybody.
- Patent Leather: this trend was key last fall and remains an important look for shoes and handbags.
- Booties: these short vampy boots are like a hybrid high heel.
- Loafers with Heels: these amped up classic shoes are great with trousers.
- Animal Prints: just a touch goes a long way, so just wear one piece at a time.
- Classics like Pencil Skirts and Trousers: sleek, sexy and ladylike, these pieces are universally flattering.
- Bold Jewelry: don’t be shy, make a statement!
