Fall Fashion 2008:
Trendy Must-Haves for Your Wardrobe
Amidst the 90 degree weather, it’s time to start thinking fall… Fall 2008 fashion trends will be influenced by the past, making that which is old new again. For example, nothing in fashion this fall will be skin-tight. Sweaters should be big, long sweater vests, oversized boyfriend type sweaters or cardigans, worn with pencil skirts. Bow and ruffled blouses are popular, which are perfect for offering a slight feminine touch. Also, fashionable jackets are a must-have. Finally, comfort prevails!
Fabulous rich jewel tones such as deep purple, blue, red, maroon, eggplant, deep gold and rust will brighten up dreary days of fall and winter, particuarly as an accent or layering piece with your new grey and black suit. Long scarves are a must for the upcoming season, whether worn over your favorite weekend shirt or your business suit. Draped in the front, around the neck or hanging in both front and back, your scarf will be a big hit this year! Sweater wraps will also be “in” this fall (just in time for those cool football games) in black, white, orange and turquoise. Speaking of football games, purple and gold fleur de lis designs with the eye of the tiger on t-shirts, tanks, earrings and bracelets are hot for LSU. Even “switch-flops,” the interchangeable flip-flop, now comes with LSU straps.
Every woman should also have a tailored, pencil-cut skirt in a dark color for fall, paired with a sweater or cardigan. Or, for an amazing fashion-forward look, pair it with colored tights.
Accessorize this fall with big pieces of jewelry such as medallions. This season, the bigger the better! Think retro because looks of the 1960s are fashionable, with jewelry like rings and hoops. Also, many of fall’s hottest designs are taking a circular shape. Go natural: wood, shell and natural stones are all hot commodities this fall. The “go green” idea also has hit the jewelry world with turquoise, jade and pearl.
Finally, bags like Big Buddha handbags and clutches are a must for fall because of their rich leathers in burgundy, brown, purple, mustard or gunmetal. Big buckles in gold and silver trim the handbags and chain shoulder straps or arm straps both prevail.
