This fall is about crisp shapes, embellishments, and cool
eye-grabbing colors. Aside from looks,
the main focus for 2013 is versatility.
From leather Moto-jackets to oversized wool sweaters; trends this year
have something for every personality.
Fall is finally here and as the thermometers drop degrees,
we all know it’s time for sleeves and layers.
But layering up doesn’t necessarily mean getting swallowed up in
clothes; there are countless fashion trends for Fall 2013 that will have you
feeling more confident than you ever felt in your swimsuit.
The most important staple for cool weather hands down is a
statement jacket. This fall season is all about edge, which calls for jacket
styles that have just the right amount of masculinity.
For those who are
looking for a more professional look, try a new blazer. “Fall’s funky blazers [are] amped up with
wild patterns, neon accents and rich textures [that] will take you from office
to party with ease,” Cosmopolitan (October issue) said.
For a more casual wear, try a varsity jacket; they are
virtually timeless. Varsity jackets are
popping up in stores everywhere and can be found easily for under $30. Mixing them with jeans for a more of a boyish
clash or pair them with a skirt and boots for a more feminine look.
If varsity jackets are something you don’t want to bring up
from your high school days, go for an army jacket. These have edge and come in different cuts
and lengths. From studs to badges, you
can find these jackets bedazzled or structured; depending on the outfit you’re
looking for.
Also trending this fall is upgraded versions over-sized
sweaters and cardigans. This season is all about added embellishments,
revealing cut-outs and textured patches.
The added flare renders a more fitting shape. To shop for fall sweaters, visit
