Falling for Fashion

With fall just around the corner, I want to discuss just a couple reasons that most of us should be excited about this fact… fashionably at least.

  1. Structure

Finally, with all the flow and thin fabrics of summer we can get a little structure and starch back into our wardrobes. This is a plus for the majority of women AND men out there. Even a bit of structure to clothes (i.e. jeans, fall jackets, thicker blouses and dress shirts) are easier to play with to create illusions helping to making waists or hips or shoulders look smaller.

  1. More Fabric

Fuller skirts, longer sleeves… a better look for the greater part of the population.

  1. Leggings and Leg Warmers

Comfortable, yet professional. Playful, yet sexy. Leggings come in such diverse colours, patterns, sheerness that it is hard not to have fun with this accessory.

  1. Suede

Personally, my favourite part of fall. The look of suede is rich and warm. And until it snows, not too much risk of ruining it with moisture. My tip: break down and purchase the suede cleaner and protector.

Other fall things to get excited about: fur, animal prints, blazers, jeans, chunky heels, chunkier accessories, funky hat, straighter patterns, etc!
