Fall’s Fashion Must-Haves
In my last couple of posts I focused on certain individual’s street styles, and individuality and being cheap chic , were the key to street style fabness. This time around it’s all about pointing out the fall season’s must-haves. Check out the video below from VogueTV, as the noted stylist Elizabeth Sulcer shares her input on her favorite trends for the season.
Sulcer highlights three main topics with various alternative looks:
1) Power Dressing
2) Cool Androgyny
3) Architectural & Sculptural
Sulcer said Power Dressing was all about bold shoulders and looks that somewhat pay homage to the 80s. I love this trend. Bold shoulders are perfect for all body types because it speaks sophistication with a hint of rock n’ roll. Whether you pair a blazer with a pair of tight jeans, leggings, or wear a figure-gripping short dress with bulky shoulder for a night on the town, this trend is sure to be a show-stopper. Here is a chic vest with an emphasized shoulder.
Cool Androgyny, she said, is a play on masculinity and femininity. This entails tailored pants, blazers and coats. The video puts an emphasis on nudes and neutrals, but I don’t see anything wrong with a pop of color. Here’s a fun blazer that’s definitely androgynous, but won’t break the bank.
Architectural & Sculptural is about a contrast of texture, stitching cuts and varied angles. It’s the personification of fall fashion, right now. Sulcer said it’s where art inspires texture and volume. I say, lets pump up the volume and play with textures! This rocker-chic look plays with texture and volume as leather and bejeweled accents come together to create a flirty ensemble.
Now, you have a taste of what’s hot and sure to have you at the top of the trends list for fall. What are some of your fall go-to pieces?

i always thought my mom’s 80′s shoulder-pad outfits were all so dowdy. Now i just love them.
I don’t think I could pull of the bold shoulders look. It’s one of those things that looks amazing on Rihanna and Victoria Beckham, but when duplicated by common-folk….hmm not so much. Then again, I guess it depends who’s wearing it and what they’re wearing it with.
