My Favorite 2019 Fall Trends
Do you take inspiration from the runway? I try not to let it dictate my life and since the birth of blogging, I have always found myself taking more inspiration from real people more than anything. Still, it’s really fun for me to see what these genius designers are concocting in their heads; and it’s even more fun for me to break it down and decipher it for my own wardrobe. (By the way, I still stand by my 2018 fall trends.)
Today, I’m taking on my five favorite trends from the fall/winter 2019 shows and showing how to wear them in real life (at lots of different price points!). Which one is your favorite?
Green
Every season, a certain color has its moment and this year it’s green. Runway reports are saying pistachio is the color du jour but I think any hue of green is trending right now. Start subtly with forest green and move into different shades (if you’re new to green).
How to wear: a cozy teddy coat, an inexpensive patterned skirt, on-trend wide-leg chinos
Floral midi/maxi dresses
A prairie home companion has come full-circle. Pair them with jackets, boots, or wear them alone! You’ll feel pulled together AND comfortable.
How to wear: a dress with a golden hue, a dark and moody dress at a great price point, or this berry pretty maxi.
Fancy fleece
Yeah, your Patagonia fleece is trending, but make it fashion. Fleecy, nubby jackets (see: teddy coats) have been on trend for the past few years but thanks to the athleisure movement, a sportier version has hit the runways! Wear with jeans and boots all fall.
How to wear: this inexpensive biker jacket, a leopard pullover, this traditional fleece, or this sporty camel version.
Mid-calf boots
Your ankles are cold from all the ankle booties you’ve been wearing the past five years. Dress up your boots collection with a little mid-calf action; these look awesome with dresses and under cropped pants.
How to wear: These black suede booties with a low heel, this spicy color with a block heel, or a cowgirl-chic pair.
Boot-cut jeans
Don’t be scared…these aren’t Britney low-rise jeans circa 2000. As skinny jeans evolved into straight-leg and mom-jeans, silhouettes continued to widen and we’re back into boot-cut. Flares make a resurgence a few years ago and I think what makes them fresh is the higher-rise. Will you give them a try?
How to wear: this burgundy hi-rise corduroy pair, or ease into the trend with this cropped pair, or this simple black chic pair.
