At a loss for what to wear Thursday night when DU begins to party? Unsure about that outfit when going to a bar? Here are some pointers about what’s in.
The military look is in, as well as lace, knee-high boots, socks and button-up collars.
The military look is popular for both men and women. Navy is the color-suited for military jackets and tops. Another option is a classic button-down coat or army green jacket.
While lace remains popular for the fall, antique-style lace is the key to completing this look properly. The more unique the lace is, the better.
Laces that appear to be traditionally crafted by needle and bobbin win over mass-produced designs.
Since lace is typically transparent, this look is meant to be romantic and sexy without showing too much skin.
Among the top trends for fall are thigh-high boots and socks. Boots that come over the knee are a must-have and can be worn to suit your style and personality.
If you’re looking for a classic look, move towards a neutral-colored suede with a round or tapered toe. For a more rockin’ look, tight black leather would be best.
These boots can be worn covering blue jeans for a more casual look for the breezy autumn days or a miniskirt for a sexier look for going out on the town.
No matter how you choose to sport these boots, you want on-lookers to focus on you, not wonder how much you cost.
Unless you have multiple pairs of these boots, you may want to invest in high socks as well.
They serve as great leg warmers while sticking with the trend of having your legs covered in a skirt during the cooler months.
However, there are two types of socks that may work for you.
If you have bigger thighs, thigh-high socks might draw more attention to them, and knee-high socks tend to make your bone structure look slimmer. Try both to see what fits you best.
Socks turn out to be a big component to the fall trends this year.
While this may seem a little out of left field, ankle high socks scrunched down when wearing heels are in.
Defying the traditional “don’t wear socks with sandals,” this trend beckons women to think outside the box.
Wearing ankle-high-heeled boots or shorter heels with color-coordinated socks will stand out, not to mention keep you warm.
Buttoned-up collared shirts provide a modestly clean look.
Without a low neck-line, confidence is the key to pulling off this look. This is another trend that can be mixed and matched to fit you personally.
While the buttons should be up all the way to the top, you can wear it with a miniskirt or tailored, high-waisted slacks to suit your setting. This clean look is perfect for more professional circumstances.
Following these guidelines and improvising to fit your personality and surrounding, you’ll surely be ahead of the curve this autumn as the leaves start to fall.
