Fallen...for Fall Trends

It's about that time again. Time to start thinking about getting you or your kids back to school. Time to think about the fall fashions you'll want to start acquiring.

I thought I would lend a hand and showcase the on trend fall colors and some of my favorite, more wearable fall fashion trends.

Colors
Below is a pic of the "official" colors from the Pantone Fashion Color Report for Fall 2014.

When perusing the runway shows I found that Royal Blue, Cobalt Blue, Aurora Red and Sangria were some of the most prominent and wearable shades.

Trends
Plaid is something you can incorporate into your summer/fall transition wardrobe. Be on the lookout for pencil skirts and light weight tops.

Leopard

My daughter recently asked for a bunch of clothes in leopard print, so she's definitely on trend for fall. Leopard print is one of those prints that works no matter what your personal style is.

Layered knits
Layering knits is perfect for winters where I live. You just never know when the temperatures will go from 70°F to 30°F. This approach can also provide that post apocalyptic look that my punk side longs to achieve.

Fur
After the year of the polar vortex, with everything lining up for another, fur is definitely on trend. Regardless of real, faux, vintage or new, keeping warm while still looking good is on every one's mind. Try layering a fur vest over your favorite leather jacket. You can always watch reruns of Game of Thrones for inspiration.

Shearling
Shearling is another great way to keep warm and look good doing it. The jacket below provides the trend in a manner that doesn't delve into that western wear look.

60s
60s mod swing dresses were all over the runway. Below is a punk friendly version. It almost has the feel of a medieval tunic.

Goth
90s goth has also made a resurgence.  The outfit below is a more modern take, but feel free to check out movies like The Craft for more inspiration.

Neon
Neon made an appearance as accent colors all over the runway. If you're looking for the full on color vibe, be sure to check out Betsy Johnson's fall line, like the outfit below.

Western
One of my least favorite trends is western but there are elements that could be utilized for my style. Perhaps a black fringe midi skirt is in the future.
