Welp, look who it is. (Hides face) I know, I know, when was the last time I posted? I'm sorry. Midterms are just around the corner, and I often can't think of anything to post about. I'll try and get better about sharing, I promise...
Today, I thought I'd do a post on trends I've noticed that look like they're settling in for this autumn and winter fashion season. I can't say I love all of them, but, they are hanging around in the fashion world at the moment so I guess I've got to be nice and include them.
1. Oversized / Boyfriend Coats: Oversized coats have seriously been taking over this season! They go great with pretty much any pair of jeans or trousers, and can be draped over the shoulders for an alternative look to wearing a coat like everyone else. They're also awesome for layering as you can fit lots underneath, and give a finishing touch to any outfit.
2. Dark / Berry Lips: Dark lips have been huge this season, especially within the tumblr style blogging community. Most bloggers seem to have opted for Mac's "Rebel", or there's another one I remember seeing from Nars which seems to be popular. These dark lips add a "Don't f*$% with me" vibe and match the dark nails that always go on in the colder months.
3. Pom or "bobble" beanies: I LOVE beanies. Especially ones with pom poms. Last year, I bought 3 of the exact same ones (if different colours) on clearance. Pom beanies are adorable, super warm and comfy, and add an almost flirty touch to outfits; and you can find them almost anywhere at really great prices, and they go with all kinds of outfits.
4. Leopard print: One of the trends you won't find me wearing. I'm not a big fan of leopard, and too much of it is definitely tacky, but if you like it go for it! When it's styled right, it can look killer.
5. Leather jeans: There's no doubt about it that leather jeans are probably the biggest trend this season. Celebs have been rocking them like crazy, same as loads of style bloggers, and more. Not feeling real leather? Lots of places sell leather-look leggings. These give a classy, polished look to any outfit and look amazeballs if you style them right.
6. Large structured bags: Large, structured bags have gotten right into the trends this season. Chances are, you've seen some style blogger or celebrity strutting around with (or lusting over) one. Lots of other stores have made their own designs too; awesome to carry lots in, and a great statement piece.
7. Oversized printed jumpers: You've probably also seen the Givenchy sweater with Bambi alllllll over the place. Gorgeous, but $1000 gorgeous? Yeah. Oversized printed jumpers have been all over the place this season, ranging from just oversized for a casual look to being worn as dresses.
8. Cutout shoes: Cutout shoes have been everywhere; you can find LOADS in Topshop. These babies can be dressed up or down, and if you're wondering how they can be worn in a/w, the wearer is lucky enough to be in sunny California, or killing it by adding some tights in. (Maybe thick socks?)
9. Tartan: Again, like leopard, you probably won't find me wearing anything tartan, but it's definitely been a staple in many bloggers' closets or wishlists. Zara has been a large part of these with their skirt & pants.
So that's it! Are you following (or hating) any of these trends? Lemme know how you're styling your closet for this season.
Talk to you soon!
