What will women be wearing this fall? The style-savvy
experts at Chadwick's, the nation's first and largest value fashion catalogue,
say that clean and conservative looks are back in vogue. Skin-baring outfits
are out and layering is in. Volume and textured fabric are fashion's buzzwords,
and rich colours like black, red, purple and grey ruled the runways. Chadwick's
offers the following tips on how to be fashionable this fall:
Sleek Silhouettes
The "new suit" features fitted jackets paired with
slim pants and skirts, for a polished, tailored look. Consider a mandarin
collar or washed wool plaid blazer with a favourite pair of pants for
sophisticated style. Or menswear-styled suit jackets softened with feminine
details and gentle draping, create a look that works in a boardroom or a
bistro.
Give your pants some pizzazz by wearing cropped or
wide-legged styles. Several top designers explored this trend with contrasting
looks-pairing loose with tight and long with short. Anyone can wear this look
by balancing the silhouette with heels or an appropriate top.
Touchable Textures
Luxurious velvet made a comeback this season. Chadwick's
designs feature crushed and jewellery-close velvet blazers that create a modern
look.
From chunky cable to fine gauge, there's a knit for all
occasions. For a cosy option on chilly fall nights, choose a sweater-knit. For
a feminine spin, try a twin set lined with ruffles or a beaded cardigan.
Au Courant Accents
For tasteful fall layering, it's all in the details. Pieces
trimmed in lace or ruffles create a romantic touch under shirts and jackets.
Wound along the hem of a skirt or down a pant leg,
embroidery adds a splash of style. Paisley and floral designs are classic
twists on this modern trend.
One signature snapshot is a jacket cinched at the waist with
a belt. Pair it with a boot of any height for an up-to-the-minute look.
