We love autumn, and so should any fashion-forward Canadian style obsessive. The styles, colours, and patterns in fall fashion never fail to mesmerize us. Wave good-bye to your summer wardrobe, and start updating your closet for a fabulous new season. Here are some autumn trends that you can start wearing right now.
Floral prints are traditionally meant for spring and summer. But where would we be without bending the rules once in a while? We love fall floral printed dresses because they allow us to hang onto summer and look forward to autumn simultaneously. These pieces, in particular, are ideal for fall because the muted and neutral prints put a fall twist on the classic bright and colourful floral dresses. You can wear a women’s floral dress on its own or with a pair of strappy heels. Looking to flirt with streetwear? Throw on one of these cool dresses with a chunky pair of high-tops. Ladies Blazer & Cropped Pants For Instantly Flattering Fall Look If you don’t already have a work-appropriate blazer in your closet, now is the time to invest in one. This black open-front blazer will dress up your straightleg trousers, hide the casual tank you’re rocking for comfort, and pull the whole look together into a business casual smoke show.
