From Fall to Winter: This Season’s Style Guide
Everything you need to know and shop this winter, from styling tips, current trends, accessories, and more.
Within the blink of an eye, we will be transitioning from fall to winter, and it’s time to start changing things up. The wonderful thing about fashion trends is that they are recyclable. Many trends will make their way back into society so if there is a trend you miss, give it a little time, and it will be back before you know it.
Statement Coats
These are always in style and are a season must-have. I was seven years old the first time I fell in love with a coat. It was the classic film Lover Come Back and Doris Day was a vision in her cream plaid coat with the dreamy fox fur collar. From that moment I knew that no matter what I wore underneath, as long as I had the perfect statement coat I, too, could be as classic and fabulous as Doris Day herself. This season, whether your statement coat is classic plaid, dreamy fur, or even the power move leather, you are sure to be on trend this winter.
Matching/Monochromatic Sets
These are a lazy girl's best friend. This trend is one I am personally a huge fan of. Not only does this trend take out the hassle of putting together the perfect outfit, but it effortlessly makes you look put together and trendy with minimal effort. Every major fashion retailer is gearing up for this, from Target and Dillard’s, all the way to H&M and Walmart, you can find beautiful sets for any occasion. Make sure to step out of your comfort zone and try something colorful. After all, trends don’t become trendy without taking a risk!
Gold Jewelry and Cowgirl Hats.
Gold jewelry and cowgirl hats are coming back straight from the early 2000’s, and I am 100% on board. Gold jewelry is the perfect way to bring class and style to your most favorite outfit, but don’t worry if you're more of a silver gal because mixed metals are always a great way to go. At first, I thought cowgirl hats would take more convincing for me to jump on board with this trend, so I must either be easily persuaded, or they just look that good. Wide brim fedoras are a classic fall statement, and cowgirl hats are just a step beyond that. This accessory is one that is perfect for transitioning from fall to winter right before grabbing the earmuffs and toboggans. I went ahead and took one for the team and experimented with a beige cowgirl hat, and they are worth it! It was such a fun way to give my outfit personality. Give it a try - you will probably be pleasantly surprised.
I hope this season’s guide to fall and winter fashion has been not only insightful, but most of all, inspiring. We can’t wait to see how you wear this season’s trends, and as always, remember to never toss those fun pieces from fashion’s past. Hang on to them because you never know when they will sneak their way back in. Stay trendy gals, and don’t be afraid to try something new. You may just surprise yourself.
