2016 Fall Trends (See Jane Want)

I’m not wishing away summer–trust me, but as someone who works in retail and is style obsessed, I love a good change in season.  It’s like starting fresh and shedding your skin.  Reorganizing your closet by getting rid of the old and putting in the new; it’s cathartic, really.  I haven’t bit the bullet on much yet this fall, but that’s because of this big ol’ bump I’m sporting.  Once the baby arrives and I start to fit into some clothes (well, hopefully) again, I’ll be on the hunt for my favorite 2016 fall trends.

Velvet – it’s luxe, rich and going to be everywhere this fall.  Blame the 90s revival (remember CRUSHED velvet) but you didn’t think chokers and slip dresses with t-shirts underneath were going to come back around and not velvet, did you?!

Neck candy – …speaking of chokers (shop chokers HERE)….You pretty much can’t escape covering your neck this fall.  Chokers, turtlenecks, scarves!  There’s something so very naughty flight attendant about it and I personally LOVE it.

Color – as much as I love some monochromatic outfitting, I’m pretty excited for color to re-enter my closet.  Cheerful blues and pinks are the sweetheart of the fall season, which is a nice departure from the usual fall tones we see (shop pink coats HERE).

Fall Floral – again, it’s time to inject some much needed pattern into my life.  I have the basics and essentials–now I need the showstoppers.  Rebecca Taylor (shop RT fall HERE), ALC and Suno are all doing florals right this fall (shop Suno HERE).

Dramatic sleeves – maybe it’s one-sleeve, maybe it’s the cold shoulder, maybe it’s the bell sleeve (shop bell sleeves HERE); whatever it is, designers are bringing attention to your arms, whether you like it or not.

Mid-calf boots – We all have the OTK boots (and we love them–shop OTK boots HERE) and more booties than we can handle, but remember mid-calf boots?  Well, if you don’t, they’re back and a new silhouette to add to your arsenal.  If you’re feeling really sassy, wear them with some cropped flare jeans.

What are you looking forward to this fall?
