September is looming and it's only a matter of time before we trade in our cotton gardening gloves for leather gloves, sandals for boots and mother nature convinces us that it's time to pull our sweaters and jackets out of the closet. Sigh.
As much as we are sad to see summer end, this year's new fall fashions are something to look forward too because they are wearable and wonderful styles that look classy, not crazy.
Here are some of my favorite pieces to incorporate into your wardrobe to inspire you to change things up a bit.
1. Oversize Sweater
Pick something in a sumptuous colour and remember the universal rule of balance and proportion. Long or oversize over short or narrow.
2. Coloured Pants
Go crazy with colour on the bottom and wear it with a neutral top. It's a great way to shake-up the traditional way we wear our outfits. It looks fresh and fun. Be sure to fit your shape with the perfect fitting pants.
3. Leopard Print
It can be anything from a sweater to a pair of shoes. A sophisticated, sassy and classy look is to keep it understated. When wearing animal prints avoid trashing the look by wearing too much of a good thing. Try a solid neutral outfit (black or brown) with leopard shoes that kicks the look up a notch. Don't forget some accessories that make a dramatic statement in keeping with the personality of the shoe.
4. Longer Skirts
A much awaited silhouette, hemlines are coming down and skirts are softer. So choose a style that will fit and flatter you and enjoy looking like a lady. Remember skirts are most slimming when they fall close to the body and are longer than they are wide.
5. Classic Shirt
You probably already have several , but if you don't rush out and find a well-fitting classic. This season in particular chambray denim or a classic crisp white are the most fashionable choices. Either gives you a lot of versatility. You can decided whether you want to dress them up, or down. Either way they work very well in every wardrobe.
