5 Best Fashion Trends For Autumn 2016

Fall into fashion with a new spin to your aesthetic

September has arrived after a long, humid summer. For some, the thought of fall beginning is disheartening. After all, they have to pack away the bikinis, sandals, and beach towels to prepare for the winter. Fall, however, brings new fashion and new ways to express your style. Here are a few trends you're bound to see this autumn.

1. Straps and ties

Ribbons, strings, and links are everywhere in upcoming fall fashion. The corset top seems to be coming back, and unexpected places for straps are appearing all over. Dresses held together in the middle with lacing are chic and sure to impress without being too daring.

2. Muted orange

While orange has always been a part of the fall palette, the muted orange brings this often too bright color into the realm of sophisticated earthy tones. One of Pantone's colors for Fall 2016 is Potter's Clay, a rusty orange that flatters a variety of skin tones.

3. Leather trench coats

Leather trench coats aren't just for spies and action heroes anymore. These coats are one of the best trends for fall! Classic and just a little edgy, you can style these coats with almost any outfit, casual or formal. It will give you that little edge you've been looking for, and keep you cozy while you're looking fierce.

4. One shoulder sweaters

This casual, slouchy style can be paired with leggings and boots for a fun weekend outfit. Some of these asymmetrical tops can be dressed up, as well. Think sequins and skinny slacks to make a statement at a fall party.

5. Subtly shiny fabrics

Try out an unusual texture this fall. A subtle shine will draw attention to movement. You'll be turning heads all season if you don a subtle metallic shirt. Mixing textures is essential with shiny fabrics. Aim for some matte fabric in your outfit, as well—balance is key! A small shine will create a big glow for you.
