Listen up, ladies: Fall fashion tips won’t fail

Although men’s clothing has recently increased in importance, women have the attention of most fashion analysts and are the preference of designers today.

Such attention on women’s clothing has allowed for many exciting and new lines, season after season. This year, there are several important features and colors that can add a special flavor to any girl’s wardrobe.

Ladies should be excited about fashion. Clothes are an important projection of your personality, and excellent style will boost self-esteem and brighten one’s outlook.

This fall, many exciting trends have come into play. Contrary to previous years, we are seeing a return to big tops and skinny pants. Clothing is fitting more tighter and more elegantly, but construction is simple.

In fabrics, we are seeing a lot of exotic textiles and materials, such as tweed and mesh. Girls should choose fabrics and colors that complement their skin tone and various bodily features. Fabric should be simple, but others should be able to notice their select attributes.

If the dictum for fall were a color, it might be chocolate. Colors for the fall are also very different than last year’s. We are starting to see a lot of brown, and other likely colors, such as camel, cream and dark-red nova check patterns: colors that may suit your stuffy old English professor who keenly sports suede elbow patches on old russet blazers. A modern fit with tidy lines will keep you from looking like him.

Girls are wearing brown pinstripes and long brown boots, dark green sweaters with brunette shirts and tweed overcoats with fur trim. There is very little leather on women’s runways this year, but more fur than in years past – keeping with current trend, the furs are usually an exact replication of color and texture of the real fur they imitate.

You want to portray a look of distinction. Aim for an item that has the elegance of a sleek, neat brown tufted cocktail dress.

Tops this year are mostly button-down shirts. There is an emphasis on layering, as layering automatically adds desired depth to an ensemble. Think velvety sweaters and skimpy vests over a cream shirt.

Outerwear this year is boyish, in a very good way. Chunky overcoats with tight tailoring are in, as well as puffy jackets and trendy blazers. Our creamy and chocolaty colors certainly come into play here, but the basic design of the jacket is most important. It should gracefully drape over the body, with a long, elegant cut or a shorter, trendier design.

Jeans, like the guys’ fashion for this season, are coming in dark. Dark, uncultivated and rough denim is hot this season for all fashion lines. Dark jeans will add a vibrant and modern spin to any outfit. They don’t have to be skin tight, but rather comfortable and bunched up in all the right places. Wear them to make it look like you don’t care.

Accessories are important for any girl’s wardrobe. Many designers are starting to come out with their own line of handbags for the first time, so there’s no reason to sport a Louis Vuitton knockoff. Your handbag should be different, stylish and practical. Also, a piece or two of tasteful jewelry will immediately perk up your ensemble.

The fall is a fantastic time for a girl to start reinventing her wardrobe. It’s also a great time to get excited about clothing.

Any amount of effort will go a long way to get you noticed and feel better about yourself. Whatever you do, express your individuality. The most important thing to remember is that your persona should match your style.
