Seeing Red Past Winter

During New York Fashion Week, there has always been a collection of red dresses, but is red going to be a lasting trend? If this fashion season is any indication, the answer is yes! From the red carpet, to the catwalk, to street wear, red fashion is just about everywhere. This bold color is always eye-catching, and it has the ability to make any outfit stand out.

This year, we have seen several designers like Monique Lhuillier, Zac Posen, Donna Karan, and Jason Wu incorporate red into their shows. It seems that this trend will stay around for awhile, even after the winter months, so stock up on  red pieces and accessories fast!

Fall Trend: Delicate Lace

 

From demure to sexy, the latest captivating fashion trend is lace. The once-sultry fabric has taken on a whole new feel — from shoes to shirts to dresses. Lace has hit the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Jason Wu, and more, as designers fall for its sheer elegance. 


One delicate and romantic take on the style is a short, sweet, and simple cocktail dress. To sport a more dramatic ensemble, select a full skirt or floor-length lace dress. A covered-up neckline and a nude or black slip layered underneath maintains flirty yet sophisticated elements, without revealing too much.

The key to pulling off this peek-a-boo style is to adorn yourself with just a touch of lace. A lacy pair of tights adds instant éclat to an LBD or a lace clutch with jeans, while a pair of lace pumps adds polish to any modest outfit, like a white T-shirt and loose-fitting boyfriend jeans.

Mixing the super-feminine fabric with menswear is the perfect transition from summer to fall. A lace skirt with a tailored blazer, or a lacy cami over a knit sweater, are flirty takes on this bold pattern.
