Fall Fashion’s Do’s and Don’ts

Do purchase anything leather– You do want to purchase anything and everything leather. Leather is a huge trend as far as fashion is concerned for fall. Everything from leather pants to leather skirts to leather jackets. Leather is great for daytime wear or evening wear. While real leather may be a bit costly, it is an excellent investment. However, keep in mind there are also faux leather options available too that are just as good as real leather.
Don’t spend a ton of money on items that are super trendy– One of the big trends this fall is fringe, everything from boots to skirts to handbags to jackets. Fringe is fun, trendy and inexpensive. You don’t need to spend all kinds of money on some fancy trend that won’t have any kind of lasting value. A great fall fashion idea is fringe boots paired with skinny jeans and a casual sweater.
Do wear fall styles that flatter the shape of your body– Just because you see someone who wears a size 2 with some great skinny jeans, doesn’t mean that they will work for you. You need to find out what fall styles work best for you and your body shape and stick with those styles. Another example here is wide legged pants. While it is true they are trendy this fall, these pant types can make you appear wider and shorter so they may not be ideal for women who are full-figured or petite.
Don’t invest in the colors of fall– Yes, it may be fall outside but that doesn’t mean you need to buy all kinds of clothing in fall colors like browns, reds, oranges and yellows. Leave those colors for the leaves and the pumpkins. These earthy colors will do nothing but leave you with a washed-out look. You need to find out what colors look best for you, regardless what season it is. What you should be thinking about, instead of the colors, is the fabric. The fall season is the ideal time for fabrics like leather, wools, suede and cashmere.
I always love a good Leather Jacket for Fall and I got one for Christmas years back and it is always in season for Fall. I also like the tip about not buying all Fall colors of clothes because it is true that this can cost a lot of money and make me look washed out!
I have a black leather jacket in my coat closet that I forgot about. Thank you so much for the reminder. I need to get it out and wear it.
Those are some great tips for dressing. I love fall fashion.
I am one that likes to wear browns in the fall. I will have to remember these tips!
Good tips. I sometimes like to throw some pastels out there in my outfits. Not the norm but I am not the norm. lol
I love some fall fashion. My favorite is plaid right now.
Great tips! I’m not very fashionable so this is very helpful. I try to wear what is comfy but sometimes I need to make sure its decent too!
Actually Fall colors look great on me-but not on everyone. I do love leather jackets but tend to get the faux because of the price. So fringe is back in? Didn’t wear it the first time and won’t be wearing it this time either.
Great tips! I especially love that jacket…the color alone is amazing!
Great tips! I am all about earth tones and classic looks! I want to splurge on boots, but I think I may wait another year!
I’m afraid that in the fall and in winter I dress according to what will keep me warm and not what’s fashionable at the moment. I’d love a sheepskin lined coat but so far that’s out of my reach.
