Deal or Deluxe: Fall Fashion Essentials
The weather may be about to get colder but that doesn’t mean your style still can’t sizzle. Start your fall clothes shopping with a few on-point trends in mind so you don’t miss out on the hottest styles of the season. These six fall essentials for any closet incorporate trends you’ve got to try on for size.
Buttoned Shoulder Turtleneck Sweater (The Limited $34.96) | Relaxed Turtleneck Sweater (LOFT $69.50) | Vince Colorblock Turtleneck Sweater (Nordstrom $365)
It’s all the the small details. Colorblocking and embellishments (like shoulder buttons) really elevate everyday fall staples like the all-mighty turtleneck–an absolute must for those blustery days out on the town.
Genuine Suede Origami Skirt (Forever 21 $37.90) | High Waisted A-Line Sailor Mini Skirt (EXPRESS $59.90) | Theory Skirt – Shanrial Leather Color Block (Bloomingdale’s $495)
Who says mini skirts are just for summer? These barely-there minis have just the right colors and textures to be totally fall-centric and can easily be warmed up with a good pair of tights.
Diamond Pattern Tights (Forever 21 $3.99) | Chelsea28 ‘Hex Floral’ Lace Tights (Nordstrom $18) | Wolford ‘Laisa’ Chevron Tights (Nordstrom $58)
Did someone say tights? Go from practically to posh by adding a little print to your tights. This look is especially chic when the print is woven as a pattern, as opposed to dyed.
Ultra Light Down Jacket (UNIQLO $69.90) | Packable Primaloft Jacket (Lands’ End $99) | Laundry by Shelli Segal Hooded Short Packable Puffer Jacket (Bloomingdale’s $248)
Puffer jackets give your everyday looks a sporty vibe and the best part is that they come in a variety of styles. A shinning finish is totally statement-making while a print adds a little playfulness.
Boho Artist Flare Jean (American Eagle Outfitters $49.95) | Articles of Society Red Label ‘Kick’ Flare Jeans (Nordstrom $88) | rag & bone/JEAN Mid-Rise Stretch Corduroy Flared Jeans (Saks Fifth Avenue $198)
Get your vintage fix by throwing a pair (or three) of colored flared-leg pants into the mix. Flared corduroys are so 70s chic and look amazing with a simple and crisp white tee.
Aerosoles Sweet Ride (Shoes.com $88.95) | Jayyden (Steve Madden $169.95) | Loeffler Randall Hattie Leather & Neoprene Platform Wedge Boots (Saks Fifth Avenue $450)
Get bold and maybe even a little gothic with some serious black boots. Stomp the sidewalk like a catwalk this fall in sturdy yet fashion-forward boots in sleek, modern styles.
