Fall Fashion Trends by Certified Image Consultant, Ms. Petrossian

Do you want look a little more fashionable and in style?  If your look just isn’t doing it for you, consider adding some seasonal trends into your wardrobe.  What’s the expert’s suggestion for Fall/Winter?

Proportions: Think contrast when it comes to proportions: narrow on the bottom and voluminous up top or vice versa—enhance your silhouette according to your body type.  One way to create this look is to pair leggings or skinny pants with the season’s empire-waist blouse— the miracle top which works wonders for those who’d like to cover up the “pooch.” Or with a spacious cape-shaped jacket with wide sleeves.  Or opt for wide-legged pants with a fitted top.  Add drama to your look with contrasted proportions.

Colors and Prints: Complete your look with this season’s colors and prints.  Black is back, and grey is even hotter.  In the midst of these muted colors, red grabs all the attention.  As for prints, think animal.  Leopard prints worn in moderation definitely set you apart from the crowd.  Crocodile are tasteful accents in accessories such as belts, handbags and shoes.

Shoes and Accessories: If animal isn’t your style, the season also introduces patent leather for footwear and bags.  Pointy-toed and high-heeled ankle boots are in, as are round-toe platform pumps and ballet flats.  Complete the look with an acrylic watch or a gold cuff for some glam.

Remember to choose trends that complement your personal coloring, personality, age, and physical features.  Your aim is to look appropriate and current, not overdone.  For more on trends and what works for you, contact a Global Image Group consultant today.
