That Fall Mix
Falling for it? You bet. Yep, you might be lying on the beach, but in the back of your mind you’re thinking about back to school, back to work, back to reality—and what to wear. Lighter weights that are suitable to wear now, but oftentimes in colors that hew toward the cooler months. Whatever you want to call it, it’s great stuff to buy now, wear now and wear later. Here’s my curation on the top 4 trends that’ll take you from 75 and sunny to 65 and September.
PRECIOUS CARGO
Cargo? Let’s go. The cargo pocket trend is back and this time it’s chic as ever. Seen on everything from tailored menswear trousers to sleek knitwear to dresses, there’s a pocket full of practical magic to this trend.
ON THE FRINGE
Benefits, baby. Either beaded or silken, it’s time to swing out, sister, cause a tinge of fringe will give you drama, mama. Think sleek tunics, sleeve cuffs and skirt hems, so whether you’re channeling 20’s femme fatales or 60’s rockers, this is a trend that screams fun.
LACE IT
Serving lace—white lace specifically. A perennial classic, this open work fabric spins an ethereal web in romantic cloudy hues for your maximum ingenue elegance. Work this magically sheer trend up on ladylike but still alluring blouses and dresses and watch your va va vroom.
WELL SUITED
Back to werk, indeed. Modern takes on clean-lined tailoring will offer a sartorial sensation to your wardrobe. Think crisp trousers topped with a versatile blazer that’ll blaze an elegantly modern trail straight into fall.
