It’s only August 3rd but fall styles are showing up everywhere and being promoted with sales. I recently took a trip to a local H&M to find a lot of heavier fabrics and fall colors in stock. It’s the perfect time to get your ensemble ready for after Labor Day. Here’s a look at some major trends that have been popping up, ready to fly off the shelves:
- Orange. Yes, it was big already this spring and fall, but that was brighter iterations of it. For the fall, it’s more a pumpkin orange and it’s everywhere. A wool orange skirt on orange blazer would be the perfect addition to your outfit and make you stand out. Pair it with less bold colors and make it the only orange piece in the outfit so you don’t look like a big pumpkin.
- Knit dresses. Knit, comfy dresses with simple designs and shape are really in and popping up everywhere. You can be comfortable and look feminine too and that’s definitely the point of these designs.
- Lace. Big last fall and making a comeback in very feminine, flirty ways. Think more of a soft look, not sexy lingerie lace but pink and white lace with a more modest feel.
- Ruffles. Ruffle dresses, ruffle tops, even shoes with ruffles. It’s everywhere as an extra bit of pizzazz. Some women don’t like the look but if you like trying new and bolder things, go for it!
