From New York to London, Milan and Paris, Fashion Week is here which means leaves are turning colors and it is time to transition into Fall fashion (except for those of us refusing to believe Summer is over). Start this transition by going through your closet for a season reboot. Consign or donate pieces that no longer fit or work for you. For clothing that is not in style this season but are key luxury pieces that you may want to wear next year, put them in storage. This act of Fall wardrobe organizing and cleaning will help clear your mind. And, it can make you extra money (when consigning) and extra room in your closet for new updated wardrobe pieces.
This season’s fashion looks and trends include long coats, long boots, short skirts and short jackets. The trends are elegant and make us feel put together and in control. Here are just a few of my favorite Fall fashion pieces and how to wear them:
Over-the-Knee Boots or Socks with Shorts or a Minidress
Channeling the late Jane Birken’s style, shorts are worn with knee socks and loafers. Short fitted dresses or skirts are worn with long boots. Think a classic look with a modern school girl twist.
Wide Leg Trousers
Pants for Fall Fashion 2023 are still wide-legged this season but are now longer covering everything but the toe of your pointy heels (yes they are back) and include boot legged styles. Materials are tweed, light-weight wool or jean.
Maxi and Cropped Coats
This season’s jackets are short waisted, cropped or maxi extra-long. They are more tailored and less baggy. This warming layer is made with beautiful materials.
Think of this article like an idea board or Pinterest. Pick the styles, trends and designers that work for you. Have fun!!
