Style Crush (Fall 2013 Trend Alert)

Pattern Play


I hate to admit it, but fall is near. I am so not ready for the cold weather and shorter days. But with a change in the weather comes new fashion trends, that always excites me. It's about time to stock our closets with sweaters, long pants,boots,and coats.Over the next few weeks, I will help you stay abreast of what to add to your closet by spotlighting some top Fall trends.

This fall many designers are including classic prints into their collections. Classic patterns are those that are always in style such as houndstooth,leopard print, and plaid. Designers are showing these patterns in full outfit, if that's too much print for you, try it in pieces. Maybe just a houndstooth cardigan, or a leopard print scarf.

L-R: Moschino (www.style.com),Dolce & Gabanna (www.style.com),Chanel (www.style.com)


Of course with any trend, the "Trickle Down Method" occurs. The trickle down method is basically the idea that high end designers set the trends and then the trends trickle down to the more affordable stores and even discount stores such as H&M,Forever 21,and Marshall's just to name a few.  





Just for fun, I had to include a clip from my favorite movie "The Devil Wears Prada" where Meryl Streep explains the "Trickle Down Method". 



How will you wear the "Classic Pattern" trend this fall?

Until Next Time, Ciao!
