It’s no secret that fall is in full effect. Being my favorite season, I am hyped about wearing layers and experimenting with different fabric textures.
This fall season, it’s all about having understated style. I know that can be a little vague, but basically, less is more.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Bling will never go out of style. But this season, it’s all about letting the clothing speak for itself.
I’m dishing on the most popular styles to look out for this season and giving a glimpse at the hottest ready-to-wear pieces from The Limited (Galleria location) paired with the illest fall ambiance to showcase how to stay fly for fall.
It doesn’t matter if it’s black or white. Black and white will forever be a style staple. One could never go wrong. If I had a penny for every time I’ve said, “Black looks good on everybody,” I would be Oprah ballin’.
But it’s the truth. Black does a body good.
And being that no one follows old-school fashion rules anymore, white can be worn all year. This season some of the industry’s top designers, like Givenchy, Saint Laurent and Chanel, are keeping the color palette simple and chic with the use of these understated colors.
The ‘90s are back. The 1990s were a prosperous time for our country, so it’s only natural for us to want to return to the good times when everything that was big was better. Girls would rock oversized clothing, like their dad’s jeans, flannels and even boxers, to achieve that “gangsta boo” style.
Well, it’s time to raid a guy’s closet again for the oversized gear to get fresh. Or if that’s taking the trend too far, try incorporating simple style cues like tying a coordinating jacket around the waist or wearing a thick, chunky belt as your accessory.
Do whatever it takes to bring you back to when TLC rocked their hats to the back and pants down real low.
In there with outerwear. I love fall because I can pull out my fanciful coats and jackets. They at times can make or break your overall look. This season, your coat is your calling card. It has to make a statement, and it should complement both your silhouette and your personality type. So if one is more introverted but has a bottom-heavy shape, go for more of the wool, swing coat or jacket. Try to stay away from the boxy style of coats that will have you confined, and contort your figure.
Don’t be afraid to accentuate – even with your outerwear.
Make space for hair and face. This season is all about understated hair and makeup. Gone are the days of the Chewbacca eyebrows (thank you, Lord!) and the overly highlighted eye areas. Muted makeup is the new move.
If you want to add a pop to your face, don’t go overboard; stick to just accentuating one feature. Wearing a dark lipstick in a plum or rose color can be the focal point of the face. Opt out of doing a heavy eye color and just stick with mascara, a light eyeliner and a sheer blush to accentuate the cheekbones.
This goes for hair as well. This season it is all about sexy, effortless hair. To achieve this look, opt for an old-school roller set. They can be done in so many different variations, on any hair type, including weave. It’s important during the winter months to keep hair moisturized as much as possible to prevent breakage.
