Fall 2012 Fashion Trends...

So, I know that it's a bit too early to think about colorful leaves, sweaters and Halloween but I thought I might post a little something. I wasn't feeling so hot today and spent most of my day in bed, on my computer, and I more or less got a glance at what will be trending this fall. For those of you interested but too lazy to research , this one's for you.

1. Ponchos. It doesn't matter what color, pattern, material or length it is. Ponchos are in this season. Wear them with tight skirts or skinny jeans, to create a contrast with wide ponchos.

Gucci, Just Cavalli, Moschino, Elie Saab

2. Black skin. Black skin from head to toe is all in this autumn. Don't go overboard with the accessories, though. Keep it simple and to a minimum. Don't show too much skin, though. You'll look trashy instead of classy.

Ferretti, Sportmax, Trussardi, Valentino

3.  Orange, orange, and...oh yeah, orange. Anything orange and reminding one of autumn leaf colors is in. Brunettes will probably look best in this color. If you want to add any touches to your outfit, make sure to choose a black accessory.

Vionnet, Prada, Carolina Herrera, Vivienne Westwood

4. Suits. If you work in an office, this one's for you. Any color or material will do. Accessorize as much as you wish with shoes, bags, and jewelry.

John Richmond, Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Fendi

5. Welcome to the dark side...in other words, any science-fiction or fantasy, dark character-like outfit is great this season. Some advice? It might not look so flattering during the day, but perfect for a Halloween party.

Moschino, Versace, Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood

6. 60's and (groovy) 70's. Strong colors, patterns, and pop/hippie style is all in this season. In the fall, the days get shorter and nights longer, and we all feel a little down. This is perfect for brightening up our wardrobe and moods.

Prada, Blugirl, Emporio Armani, Miu Miu

7. Yeti style fur. Now, I know that there are mixed feelings about wearing fur. I personally choose not wear real fur. It does, however, make an outfit sometimes, and I go with fake fur. There is some decent looking fake fur out there. Whatever your opinion may be, fur is in this season. And I'm not talking Hollywood glamour style fur, I mean big, hairy, Yeti style fur. If you're slim, you'll look good. If you have a little extra baggage, I don't recommend this trend; it'll make you look bigger.

DKNY, Fendi, Mulberry, Matthew Williamson

8. Back to medieval times and gothic style. Interesting. And a perfect look for evenings. If you're in love with gothic times, knights in shining armour and such, you'll love this. Careful! Don't wear dresses that go all the way down to the ground because instead of an eye-catching outfit you'll look like you're wearing a costume.

Balmain, Etro, Moschino, Salvatore Ferragamo
