#2 Fashion Trends of Fall 2011

All The Right Angles...

I've been seeing lots of very bold stripes, lines, shapes, angles (whatever you'd like to call it), on the runways,  and I'm very interested! Fall fashion is an interesting thing, people are trying to get out of the light, floral, colorful styles and are beginning to move into deeper tones, more layering and heavier clothes. The bold stripes and geometric shapes, if you will, are a new, fun twist to fall fashion. Sometimes fall fashion can be a bit boring, as people are not looking forward to the cold weather; for those of us who don't live in tropical/ sunny places all year round. Many times fall fashion gets drowned in sweaters, pants, jackets and deep colors such as: navy, black, brown, dark oranges and mustard yellows. But this fall seems promising. Designers seem to be bringing color and fun back into fall. The bold stripes are a nice way of incorporating a pop of color to an otherwise simple piece.

Rag & Bone Fall 2011 

This collection is very playful and is taking a chance. It's sort-of taking typical fall fashion and fall colors and putting a slight twist to it. Its not for everyone, but it is a very fun look for fall.
