Trendy Essentials

Letís draw out the color scheme of Fall and Winter. Your on-trend colors are grey, green, plaids and pinks! Now we shall discuss the essentials of the season quickly approaching.
First we have beanies and scarves. They are the number one fall gear essentials for the obvious reasons! Beanies keep your head warm while scarves keep your neck warm and not to mention that they come in cool colors and designs. Beanies and scarves can be that pop of color you need to update another bland outfit in your closet.
Now we have the footwear, which are booties and riding boots. You can never go wrong with boots. Booties are the number one shoe trend for this season. From flats to heels that are skinny to chunky, plain leather to suede or to textured, colored and studded, itís a must have across the board. A step above booties are the riding boot. Think less cowgirl and more fashion forward, riding boots are great with tights, skinny jeans, sweaters or sweater dresses paired with knee high or thigh high socks, tights or stockings.
Next up are knit sweaters. Cosby sweaters are cool and all but the chunky knits are always in. With its versatility to be a top and to be a dress (on some people), knit sweaters will keep you cute and warm. Iíd go for a more closed knit for maximum comfort with the weather. Colors you should look out for are pastel pinks and greys, in a more oversized fashion. Pair your sweaters with tights for an on the go or late to class look and add a heeled bootie with a sock to go out with friends.
Then theyíre flannels. The 90ís grunge look is in everywhere! Flannels are the easiest go to fashion statement to look super cool and trendy. The best flannels are found in local thrift stores near you, so donít let these big retailing stores swindle you out of your money. The flannels found in thrift stores sometimes have added character and it looks even more vintage, that is if it isnít a pure vintage garment from the 90ís era already. The basic flannel of course will be the red/black plaid combo, but go for flannels in different colors featuring greens, blues, or burgundies with different color combinations. Another great thing about flannels is that, again, it can be a top or a dress just like knit sweaters. Tights, jeans, shorts, skirts, flannels can go with pretty much anything!
Lastly we have dark wash jeans. The top fall essential that will last forever! Dark wash denim and fall go hand and hand. You can never go wrong with a dark wash jean with a skinny or slim cut leg so you can pair them with your booties or riding boots. While shopping for the perfect dark wash denim, or any denim really, remember quality jeans should withstand the seasons and in the long run save you money. Itís pretty much a no brainer. Stay fashion forward! XO
