Gwen’s Fall Fashion Picks: From Runway to Reality

0

Fall’s here! Many excitedly awaited the hot apple cider, crisper temperatures, pumpkin picking and  Halloween trick-or-treating, but don’t forget to try out the best trends the grazed the FW 09 runways last spring. Below are my favorite trends from the high fashion world and how they can be applied to anyone’s wardrobe.

Thick Knits

Not only is this trendy, but also comfortable and warm. When wearing a thick knit, it is best to keep everything else streamlined.

Black and Red

Black and red ensembles and prints were all over the FW 09 collections. Red adds warmth to rather bleak all black.

Bold Graphic Prints

The great thing about graphic prints is how interesting and unique they can be. By buying one key piece, you can create many possibilities with more basic items you already own.

Rock n’ Roll Black

These grungy strong styles were seen all over the runways. Although it’s a hard trend to pull off, black leggings and boots will get you in the right mindset.

Mix and Match Prints

This is a really fun trend to try out. Different sized prints look especially good together.

Biker Jackets

Leather (rather, faux leather) biker jackets adds to the rock and roll theme seen on numerous catwalks. Wear one with a floral dress for a touch of irony, or stick to your guns and wear it with structured black lines.

Printed Images

Cool printed pictures on clothing can look extremely chic, especially when done in black and white.

Felt Hats

If there is a classic fall look, in my mind, it would be a tweed coat and felt hat. So when I came across said hats on the Marc By Marc Jacobs runways it was pleasant, but not shocking.
