Fall Fashion Lookbook

By Amanda Turko

Fall is the best time of year for practical and chic outfits. As the weather gets colder, nothing elevates your style like a trendy coat or pair of boots. This season, we’re seeing a mix of old trends continuing with some new pops of color and staple pieces. Here are some of the top trends this fall.

Bold Reds

Red is the color of the season. Elevate your outfit with a pair of red boots or accessorize with a bag for a pop of color. You could even opt for a red manicure for a more simple and subtle look. From cherry to crimson to maroon, expect to see a lot of red this fall and winter.

Leather Jackets

Brown is a classic staple in any fall wardrobe, but especially popular this season is the worn, vintage look of a brown leather jacket. For an authentic distressed look, out a local thrift or vintage store.

Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts are the perfect fall piece. Not only do they look great with a pair of boots (which are also on trend right now), but the long, flowy material provides a little more warmth as it starts to cool down. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different patterns and materials.

Trench Coat

You can’t go wrong with a classic trench coat, but don’t be afraid to get a little experimental this season. Instead of the typical tan, choose a fun color, light blue or olive green. You could even experiment with a leather trench, especially brown or red.

Knee-High Boots

If you don’t already own a pair, now’s the time to get yourself some knee-high boots. These can be paired with virtually anything, including many of the other trending pieces this season, like maxi skirts and trench coats.

Small Handbags

Accessorize with a small shoulder bag this fall. This is your perfect opportunity to add a bold color or pattern to your outfit. Get creative, and don’t just stick with a black bag all season. A handbag is perfect for incorporating that bold red into your look.

Oversize Bags

If you’re someone who tends to carry around everything they own, don’t worry – oversized bags are still very much in style. Pair any outfit with a sizable tote, and even if you’re just carrying around your wallet and lipstick, an oversized bag can enhance your look this fall.

Where To Buy

Check out a local fashion-forward boutique like Sultre in Winter Park or Lauren Nicole with three Orlando locations, Waterford Lakes, Winter Park and Thornton Park. Check local thrift stores or outlets to improve your style without breaking the bank. You might not be able to find the perfect leather trench coat, but chances are you’ll be able to find the perfect red shoes or bag to accessorize with this season.

Remember, the most important part of fashion is being true to yourself, so find a way to take these fall trends and make them your own.
