How to Enjoy Fall 2018 Like a Fashionista

Hi Everyone,

There’s no denying it now – Fall or Autumn is really here! From a fashionista point of view it’s a time to celebrate! Yes, finally we have a real excuse to go out there and wear something new. Either completely new to go with a new trend or simply take something old out of the back of our wardrobes and style it in a totally new way.

Fall 2018 is special in that it really is all about colour. Revisiting Milan and Paris Street Stye photos this came back to light even more.

Lots of bold khaki tones.  The fashion weeks just past saw khaki worn as a strong colour on it’s own, not necessarily (like previous seasons),  part of a camouflage theme. Red is always a great colour as soon as temperatures drop. Whilst Fall 2017 saw bright red replacing burgundy, 2018 now again sees either rich burgundy or more of a mix between cherry red and burgundy coming through.

How to Enjoy Fall 2018 Like a Fashionista

As a true fashionista you’ll find there’s always a few fun tricks to making the most out of Fall:

1. Keep bare legs as long as possible.

Provided you’re dressed warm enough on top this actually works without catching a cold!

2. Invest in a new type of coat not already in wardrobe.

This khaki coat really has gotten me going. It’s made out a special thick but a little stretchy fabric meaning the wind doesn’t get through and yet it remains ever so comfy but still keeps shape.

3. Scarf it up

Pretty bracelets often get lost under clothing in the colder months, so now’s the time to make a scarf statement. Try wearing it in a new way or even loosely over the head for that real “statement” look.

4. Invest in new sunglasses

The sunglasses trend has taken a strong move towards the smaller frame. If you didn’t already get a pair in Summer, now is really the time to do so. After all Fall can still give us some wonderful sunny days for wearing them.

5. Try out a totally new shoe style

For me it’s these flat pointed sock boots. Such a fun new style I haven’t tried ever before. They also look great with pencil skirt – see here

Wishing you all lots of fun enjoying Fall 2018 like a Fashionista!
