Fun floral prints, pops of color and luxe materials are all making an appearance in footwear, accessories and ready-to-wear this fall. Fashion aficionados will have the freedom to update their wardrobe by choosing a few key pieces—without feeling the need to overhaul their entire wardrobe.
Nichole Duck, buyer of shoe retailer Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse, shares a list of essentials for updating clothing, making sure it is on-trend and prepared for the transition to colder weather.
Ultra-Feminine Blouses:
Women’s blouses with a classic feminine touch are fresh, fun and flirty this season, with updated features such as oversized ruffles, bell sleeves and a wonderful one-shouldered style.
Try an off-the-shoulder top with your favourite vintage frayed jeans and neutral over-the-knee boots. Sky high boots are trending in a big way.
Navy as Neutral:
While shades of black and brown are still a much-needed staple in every woman’s wardrobe for fall, other popular hues are boldly challenging the traditional neutral color palette.
Brown and navy has at all times been a popular color combination. For added warmth on cool fall days, consider a pair of camel-colored boots with a smooth profile to emphasize a pencil skirt or navy shirt dress.
Versatile Prints and Embellishments:
Fresh flower arrangements possibly do not come to mind when we think of the changing color of the leaves. However, this season’s clothing offerings are nearly stuffed with beautiful floral patterns and designs that are so lovely and unforeseen, they can motivate us all to throw a fantastic fall garden party.
Other embellishments, such as lace, embroidery and colourful accents that sparkle and shine, even in daylight, will stand out in the finishing details to enhance any outfit for many occasions. Try a pair of hole-cut booties with stacked heels to complete the look.
Velvet Crush:
Designs cut from this rich fabric will be seen in a number of charming jewel hues. Decadent fabrics can be teamed with other popular fall items, such as a pleated gold skirt, sheer fabrics, and footwear like a pair of effortlessly chic mules with a hint of sparkle.
Big Booties Moment:
While more casual-inspired footwear is unquestionably still on trend, Duck says it is time to make room in the closet for more booties, particularly since they feature an endless variety of features. Think lace details or perforated patterns – heel height and toe shape.
