It’s 100+ degrees in the Washington, DC area so the ideal of looking at anything for fall (or anything that would add to the already scorching heat sounds ludicrous), but you’ve got to see this hooded moto jacket by A.L.C. The detachable canvas hood means you can go weekend to weekday date; the ox blood color is what’s hot this fall; and the slash pockets, zipper cuffs and epaulets add the edge to chic.
I love this look for a few reasons: fedoras present a more polished and upscale feel…..the fur coat is funky and edgy and adds dimension to a neutral-colored outfit….flats are travel-friendly and the cognac color is absolutely perfection….the gray pants hang perfectly and although I don’t love front pleats, they create a laidback, downtown chicness that is undeniable. Let this be inspiration for shopping your fall closet….or adding a few fabulous pieces (click the pic)!
We at Blueprint for Style have succumb to this trend! The blanket sweater is perfect just about any woman who enjoys being comfortable yet chic at any given point — it’s perfect with jeans, long and short skirts, slacks or leggings and dresses. Piperlime has several options that we love!! Our advice to ensure it looks effortlessly chic: Maintain balance: the bulkiness of the sweater dictates that your bottom half be fitted and sleek Keep it simple: we all want pizazz
We’ve talked about this trend before, but I wanted to give it to you again – camel is the new black for fall! Look at it, love it, luxuriate in it, and get with it!! Yoox is featuring several items in this shade….
These are some terrific photos….great pictures “essays” of the brilliance of Diane von Furstenberg and it provides some outfit options as well!
Vogue’s Editors show their picks for fall pants…all in line with the seventies. Blueprint for Style agrees with just about all of them!
We’ll chat more about this later but, here are the TOP 10 TRENDS for FALL SHOES!
