Falltrend: Layering

Now that the temps are starting to drop, you’ll need to start bundling and cozying up as well if you want to survive the outdoor weather comfortably. Aside from wearing chunkier items of clothing, one way to keep warm this fall is to layer. Layering allows you to create different looks, too, and what’s great about it is that you don’t have to especially buy new pieces to layer because you can simply make do with what you already have in your closet – great for those who are already done for their fall shopping. One thing about layering, though, is that it tends to make you look bulky but that’s a fairly easy issue to solve. Here are some tips on layering for fall to help you achieve a warm and chic outfit as well as a nicely balanced silhouette.

• Limit it to three layers – limiting your layers to three keeps your silhouette looking rational. It’s much more practical, too, especially when the topmost (third) layer is something that can easily be removed when adjusting from outdoor to indoor temps. A typical combo would be a shirt, a jacket then a scarf or a coat. You can also try layering summer dressed with a sweater and then a jacket – the layering combinations are basically endless and just depends on what you have on hand.

Keep it thin – thinner pieces are more ideal for layering. You are going to be piling them on top of each other anyway so that’s sure to keep you warm. If it’s freezing outside and you feel the need to wear something heavy and chunky, wear it as the topmost layer only. This way, your silhouette won’t get as bulky and chunky.

Choose your fabrics wisely – there are fabrics that you can wear that aren’t as thick and heavy and chunky but are just as comfy. Leather, for example, provides great warmth without the chunk plus it gives off a nice, sleek and chic look too. Use these to your advantage and wear them to avoid too many layers and a too-heavy silhouette. 

Keep it interesting – it’s so easy to lean towards going monochromatic when layering outfits and while there’s nothing wrong with that, just make sure that you keep your outfit interesting by adding sophisticated accessories or a pop of color into the mix.

Hair Colors for this Fall

Along with the changing of the leaves’ colors, a lot of women like to change their hair. Fall is always a good excuse to dye your hair a new color. I know most women want to go darker for fall and winter but it doesn’t always have to be the case, especially if your skin color doesn’t go very well with dark hair colors. If you’re looking for ideas on what hue to get your hair into this season, check out these colors to dye your hair with this fall and get inspired.

Bronde – blonde is such a light color which is why it’s not something you would usually wear for the colder months but for those of you out there who just can’t get enough of this classic color, a really fun way to switch it up a little but still get the color on your locks is to go bronde. Bronde, basically, just is brunette and blonde together. You can achieve the color by getting darker, richer and browner highlights and lowlights while keeping your base blonde or the other way around, depending on what color you want to look more dominant.

Ginger red – gingers always have that nice, warm and cozy look about them and it mostly comes from the warmth of their hair color. If you’re looking for a more adventurous color to sport this fall, try going ginger red. It’s the perfect autumn color but it can be a little tricky to maintain so make sure to get as much info about post-dyeing hair care tips from your stylist.

Dark Choco – whoever said blondes always get the most fun must not have tried going brunette yet. Dark chocolaty brunette colors are perfect for fall because they’re warm and they bring out the glow in you, making you look more radiant.

Sombre – ombres are so last year but if you haven’t had enough of it yet and don’t want to look like you’re stuck up on the trend, going somber is your best bet. Now, what is sombre, you ask? Sombre simply means ‘subtle ombre’ and this will give your hair just that natural graduating look in its colors. Since you’ll need to be a little more precise about the placement of highlights and lowlights for a sombre, I would strongly recommend you have it done by a pro.

Why not try these new modern looks? xo

Styling : Summer to Fall Wardrobe

While there is certainly a definite update to a wardrobe that happens when fall comes around, there’s no need to completely get rid of your warmer weather items. There are some key pieces from summer that can be re-worked to be incorporated into the cooler months. The key is to think about layering, as well as adding tights, jackets, and scarves to existing pieces. If you’re ready to change it up for the transitional months, here’s a list of garments you can keep in the rotation for weeks to come.

 

 

White T-Shirt – This is probably the most versatile piece you’ll ever own, and chances are you’ll keep it around throughout all the seasons. Add a scarf, jacket and dark denim for a fall-ready look. And here are some other tips on how to layer and glam it up.

 

 Bright Colors – Don’t shy away from bright (even neon!) colors for fall. If you pair them with leather (a jacket, pants, or even a circle skirt), it will fit right into the season. Shorts – If you have shorts in a thick fabric, or leather, they will work well with a structured jacket and tights.

 

Finish off the look with boots and jewel toned accessories.

 

Summer Dresses – Florals are in for fall in a big way, so if you have dresses with prints, re-purpose them with a jacket, scarf, and tights with boots for a fashion-forward look.

 

 Open-toed Shoes – More and more, it’s perfectly acceptable to wear open-toed footwear for fall, considering how much warmer the summer-to-fall months are becoming. Keep peep-toe booties and sandals (particularly ones with thicker heels) in your closet for warmer days. Pair them with warmer colors in the rest of your ensemble for a season-appropriate look.

Ein Outfit , zwei Varianten und die Frage aller Fragen !!!!

" The Boy Does Nothing" Sängerin Alesha Dixon kombiniert ihre Piece von Mary Katrantzou für Topshop mit weißen Pumps und offenem Haar. Perfekt!

Doch Poppy Delevingne setzt aber noch einen drauf: Trends Schnür - Heels uns sleeker Pferdeschwanz bringen das Must-have erst so richtig zur Geltung.

Was lernen wir daraus ? It-Girls do it better :-) xo
