Fall 2011 Recap: 5 Trends for Real People
While fall trends like leather skirts and extravagant fur might not be for everyone, some trends that emerged for Fall 2011 during New York Fashion Week were very wearable. So here are our top 5 REALISTIC wardrobe trends for Fall 2011:
Duster Coats

Keeping with the current theme of longer hemlines, many designers showed variations of the classic duster coat. Expect to see these popping up at all different price points this fall.
Graphic Patterns

Several designers featured a graphic take on traditional preppy sportswear. With oversize stripes, chevron and striking plaids, anyone can wear this look when it is translated into one statement piece.
70’s re-dux

Continuing with the 70’s feel from the spring, many collections featured wider leg trousers as well as mustard, burnt orange and rust hued garments recalling the color palette of the “Me Decade.”
Colored Pants

Another trend evolving from spring shows is color blocking. For fall several designers interpreted this through powerfully colored trousers. If you want to slim your lower half choose a dark blue or green to inject some fun into your wardrobe.
Luxurious Accents

Lace and velvet were prominent fabrics in many collections. Pairing with crisp tailoring and more serious fabrics helps keep this trend appropriate for daywear.
There were many more whimsical trends that appeared across many shows, but these are the trends that can be adapted to flatter most body types. So electric blue pants or red chevron skirt for fall? Or a more subtle accent like a duster coat or wide leg trousers? What trends do you like?
