Fall Fashion

As the weather changes so does our fashion. Fall fashion is known for great earth tones paired with splashes or magnificent color. Many designers use the autumn season to create extravagant pieces. As interesting and artistic as their wardrobes are, I doubt you'll see many men or women wearing them on the way to their 9-5 office job or evening cocktail party. In two of my recent shoots I explored the practical and casual side of fashion.

Let's take a look at this wonderful hall outfit. Jeans are always in fashion but jeans are especially great when it comes to fall wardrobe. Fitted dark jeans say casual yet stylish a great base for an outfit. Next lets look at the top; Goldenrod is a perfect fall color matching many of the leaves and a nice warm color to contrast against the jeans. Finally to top it all off we've got a stunning brown leather jacket. The brown with red accent is a great addition to the fall color pallet in this outfit. Looking at the belt and design you can see references to the military inspired clothing has been popular for fall fashion the past few years. Lastly we have the footwear (not pictured here) this outfit was pared with some simple flats which worked very nicely, but you could easily pair this with some fall boots (either calf and ankle cut would work depending on the style). Overall a great fall outfit, stylish, casual, and simple.

Here's another great look for fall. Again very simple, but quite stylish. You don't get any easier than this, Top, bottom and accessories. For the top we have a 3/4 sleeve scoop neck sweater with an elongated waist. A versatile piece. The 3/4 sleeve are a nice cross of style and function. The length allows for pairing with just about any type of bottoms, be it jeans, pants or leggings. The scoop neck design has been oddly popular,while not considered the most attractive style at times, it provides a great open neck line and a unique fabric look. Again with this outfit we have a nice pair of dark jeans, probably the most versatile piece in your closet this fall. And lastly we have our accessories: a wide stand alone belt and a light knit scarf. Stand alone belts are great for dresses and elongated tops to help give definition and shape and a scarf is a nice addition not only for warmth with the scoop top but also to add some color to the outfit. For footwear (again omitted in the image) this outfit was paired with basic black heels simple and classy. Always remember to pair the belt and shoes when you're mixing black and brown in the outfit ;-)

Well that's all I have for today, check back later this week when I look at fashionable fruit.
