Fall Fashion Trends
2013
From the run way to your closet- top fashion trends for fall 2013. Stores
and designers purloin inspiration from the runway. Chances are, what you have
on your back today was in some way or another inspired by a whimsical,
unwearable item that was styled on a model and strutted down a long runway with
fierce twists and turns, and cameras flashing months ago. The Fashion world is
everlasting yet forever changing, one minute something is on trend and within a
few weeks it’s a thing of the past. The fashion world is cyclical however,
almost every trend comes back altered and modernized.
Vintage
trends have come full circle. Teenage girls and young women are wearing high
waisted shorts, pants, and even skirts, paired with cropped tops. The stone
washed print is also back in style for denim this year. Surprisingly turtlenecks have been seen
recently on the runways and then later in stores. Solid colored turtlenecks
have been styled underneath open-faced cardigans and or underneath denim
jackets during this fall season.
Classical
prints are very popular this season as they have been spotted on runways all
over the world, from Italy to Paris to L.A.. Patterns such as plaid and floral
are super popular. Plaid has been worn for decades and now can be found on
skirts, tops, and even handbags. Plaid is timeless and classic and classics
can’t be outdated. They can be dressed up to be elegant and dressed down and
paired with black and gold jewelry for a more grunge or edgy look. Floral is
another timeless print that’s been popular among women and even sometimes men
for ages. There are so many different color combinations and types of floral
that your options are nearly endless. Dare to wear classic patterns, have fun
with them, and make them your own.
Common colors seen on the runway for
fall 2013 have been winter whites and various shades of green. Such as darker
shades such as army, olive, earth tone, fern, and emerald as emerald has been
voted the color of the year. Other popular colors for this season tend to be
warmer toned and darker colors; like navy, maroon, squash orange, and grey. Do not shy away from these colors, use them as
the main focal points of your outfits because they are bold, refreshing, and on
fashionable.
Fall is the
season of accessories; simple, delicate pieces to bold, statement pieces are
all welcomed in this season. To properly accessorize an outfit you need at
least five accessories. Now don’t be alarmed! This doesn’t mean you need to
wear five necklaces. Minor things count as accessories such as nail polish,
hair bows, glasses, and earrings. Most women wear two out of the four listed
regularly without even trying to be fashionable. Accessorizing must be done
properly as it can make or break any outfit. If you have a bold outfit with
many focal points, you want to aim on the more simple side of accessing. For
example, plain necklaces with a simple charm at the end are very popular for
fall and winter. But if your outfit consists of solid colors and lacks a focal
point, try spicing things up with a bold accessory, Such as a thick gold
colored necklace chain, those are very popular this fall and add just the right
amount of bling to any simple outfit. Another cute and comfy accessory that is
sure to keep you cozy warm on the brisk fall days or when you’re having a bad
hair day is a cute hat! Tight fitting neutral colored beanies are very popular
for colder weather this fall.
Leather!
Leather! Leather! Leather is very popular this fall as an accent piece where as
last year it was popular for winter 2012 as A statement piece. This material
can be found in just about all articles of clothing. It has been seen often in
stores as a stripe on the side of pants or accents on the collar of shirts.
Leather is also fun for jewelry and accessories such as hair bows, bracelets,
and of course, hand bags. Combat boots which are also made of leather have been
in style for years and just seem to keep reappearing on the runways and then in
stores and then in your closet. They are definitely a more edgy trend, but they
should be a staple in every girl’s wardrobe because there are so many different
ways to style them. High black colored combat boots look adorable paired with
skater dresses, jeans, and even a thick legging. A leather accent can really do
a lot for an outfit. By adding just a pinch of edge your look, you can go from
Ooh to ooh la la.
Eye-catching
outerwear is an extremely big trend for this fall. While picking out a coat or
heavy jacket for the season, it is important to remember to be bold. You’ll
want a “look at me” color that grasps attention and adds color to the, boring
days between fall and winter. Perhaps an emerald green or an eye catching maroon,
something earth tone but bold not neon, neon’s are for summer.
On the more
casual side of things. Investing in a basic flannel can really add a more lax
vibe to your outfit. By tying it around your waist or throwing it over a muscle
tank, band tee, or tee shirt it appears that you tried but you didn’t try too hard
to achieve a relaxed, casual, yet put together look. Wedged sneakers have been seen all over. In
stores, pictures, featured in articles, and of course on the runway. These fun
sneaks are usually paired with jeans, dresses, or skirts and add a polished,
edgy touch to any outfit. Since they are such a unique, interesting shoe it
truly leaves it open for interpretation on how to style them.
