Eccentricity Reigns Supreme

Women’s Fall/Winter Fashion Trends with Who Cares? Wear

There’s a definite chill in the air, and we Edmontonians know what that means: winter is coming. We teamed up with Who Cares? Wear to showcase the latest cold-weather fashion trends; get ready to embrace an eccentric and unexpected fall/winter 2021. This season isn’t just about breaking the rules. It’s about forgetting they ever existed.

No more muted tones; this season, it’s all about colour oddity. Whether it’s your cozy knitwear, a structured blazer or a pair of gloves, adding a bold pop of off‑kilter colour to your look is a must. This season draws inspiration from opposition; warm condiment‑inspired hues from the kitchen offset bright colours from the club. Pair neons with mustards and reds. Go daring with dirty, herbal greens and bubblegum pinks. Whatever you choose, your cool‑weather wardrobe is about to explode with unapologetic saturation.

Shovelling Chic

The puffy jacket returns for another year and these jackets are fast becoming a winter wardrobe staple. Gone are the days when only a bulky jacket was worn for shovelling snow. These athleisure‑inspired pieces are here to stay with eco‑conscious alternatives to boot! Pair your puffer with elevated denim and lugged boots for the ultimate outdoor ensemble.

Vegan Leather

One of our favourite transitional trends, faux leather, is a classic we’re thrilled to see this season. The options have expanded beyond the tried and true legging to straight and boot‑cut pants, midi skirts and embellished accessories. Pair your faux leather pants with a soft knit; dress up the look for the office with a chic boot. Tone it down for the grocery store with a chunky sneaker; the options are endless.

Elegant Blooms

Forget spring; florals are for fall. A botanical print may be an off‑beat choice for the first snowfall, but this season is about marching to the beat of your own drum. Pair a rose‑printed silk dress with a chunky, neutral knit and pumps; florals are perfect for effortless day‑to‑night transitions.
