With the semester's start and the weather's declining temperatures one can be sure that autumn is upon us. Despite the fact that one can still see the essence of summer through vibrant clothing such as colorful flip-flops, lively tops, and bright jewelry, the inception of fall is slowly but surely becoming noticeable on the streets of New York City.
However, before you settle on bundling yourself up in layers of purely unnecessary
clothing, such as in previous years, you may want to take into consideration the fashion line that awaits.
This season may come as a surprise to some, due to the fact that there is no exquisitely unique evolution taking place in the world of high fashion, but rather, a minuscule change that is derived from the different time periods, such as the sixties and seventies.
The style, though to some may seem tedious and out-of-date, is unusually crafted to fit the present day through elegance, sophistication, and expressiveness.
Out go the shapeless dresses and tops that have hidden the bodies of thousands of women across the country and in come hard-angled clothes that modestly accentuate the womanly form. Although one may still encounter variations on the baby doll dresses and bubbly tops of the Summer months, one will notice a slight difference: a more chic and close-fitting look.
This autumn and early winter, one should welcome knit sweater dresses which can be cinced at the waist with a thin belt, tunics with bold prints, metallic tops, and embellished blouses. Cropped shorts, the unending trend of leggings and tights, and elongated sweaters will also be seen.
When it comes to layers that glaze your look, pea-coats, trench coats, plaid coats, coats in bold colors such as luscious red and emerald green, and ones in extreme shapes, are all very trendy this year.
Sweaters are another must-have item to finish off your look, preferably paired with tailored pants and a button-up shirt, and topped off with pearls.
