Plaid - the Fashion of the Day

Now plaid is the trend of the day. In fact, many fashion designers are showing it as an elegant eveningwear. Gone are the days wearing one pattern at a time. Pairing patterns, like plaids, paisleys and checks, is the present day fashion. And have a special look at these - the colors in the prints should go together, and keep one print larger than the other. Also don't forget to accessorize with colors in the pattern you're wearing,

80's Fashion

Great 80s fashion is back for this fall and winter. Leggings, off-the shoulder sweaters and booties - the 1980's fashion trends are now considered as latest teenager trend. Belted sweater dresses, miniskirts, off-the-shoulder tops and animal print jackets - the fashion trends of 80's are what every woman loves to wear. These are best accessorized with studded clutches, booties, wide cuffs, gold jewelry and gloves with grommets.

Equestrian-inspired classics

If you love to get the attention, chain-link prints on bags and tops, tweedy trousers, riding boots and hounds tooth vests are ones you will need this fall and winter. A tie-front top and a buckle-front cropped jacket form the right pair to wear. Or you can try pairing leggings, riding boots and a suede car coat. And capes are the essential toppers of this season. Sport them all with a full on equestrian ensemble. You can try belting them with ladylike skirts and heels, and you will know how good you look with the reactions that you get.

Play With the Volume

In case of silhouettes skinny styles are ruling. Trapeze dresses, voluminous toppers and bubble skirts have turned as strong points as well. Super sizing on top, keeping the bottom streamlined or vice versa is how you can make these work better. Fitted knit and a large ball skirt, or an airy cocoon coat with leggings form excellent pairs. Play with volume and see what looks best for your body shape. Cover up one part of your body with billowing shapes and accentuate another with fitted forms.

Red - Color of the Season

Must-have color for this fall and winter is 'red'. The red has replaced the white, which replaced black last year. Red not only looks good in the evening, it looks bright during the day as well. Pair a red skirt with a black and white jacket, and you will look chick. This is the color trend of the day.
