Fall Fashion Report<\/h2>\n

By Rachel Small<\/p><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he days are turning cooler and the foliage on the trees is beginning to change right before our eyes. It truly illustrates the apt theme of reinvention, which is representative of this fall\u2019s unconventional trends among designers.<\/p>\n

Offbeat Colors<\/h4>\n

The deviation from classical fall hues\u2014warm tones like reds, oranges, golds, and browns\u2014is this fall season\u2019s most unexpected trend. Most years, its expected that designers will play with the typical fall palette, but in 2016, designers shed what was expected from them and took a chance on some a-typical fall colors like dusty pinks, cream golds, and different shades of gray.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Think Pink<\/h4>\n

Light pinks are typically thought of as a spring color, but this fall, dusty, blush pinks have unexpectedly taken over as the color of the season. The blush utility jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lamb serves as a new twist on an old outerwear standby. The simple and clean-looking dusty pink open front coat by Helmut Lang is great to pair with dark staple pieces.<\/p>\n

Hello Yellow<\/h4>\n

Yellow is not a surprising hue for the fall season, but this year, gone are the goldenrods meant to match the changing leaves. Again, designers are seemingly borrowing from the spring color scheme with soft, light golds, which are more reminiscent of daffodils than the mustard-color we typically associate with fall. Balancing these light-colored pieces with dark ones like navy blue or black keeps these looks from seeming too spring-like.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the other spring-like color trends this fall, different shades of light gray are trending this season. If colorful outwear is not your thing, you can\u2019t go wrong with a classic gray overcoat like this one from Talbots. Multi-gray plaid like this overcoat from Calvin Klein Collection has also been integrated into this season\u2019s styles, reminiscent of school-era patterns in grownup silhouettes.<\/p>\n

Renaissance Woman<\/h4>\n

Renaissance-inspired attire is popping up in designer pieces this season, as well. Bell sleeves like those in these blouses by Joie and Chlo\u00e9 work to provide whimsical variety now that the sleeveless days of summer are over and coverage will soon become a necessity.<\/p>\n

\"BURGUNDY

Ruffled blouses like this rouge blouse by Charter Club are another romantic renaissance-inspired look making a comeback this fall.<\/p>\n

One more trend from the renaissance period showing up in fashion is velvet. Also popular in the 90s, this versatile fabric has appeared in a number of pieces this year from skater dresses to chunky heels like the burgundy peep toe sandal by Alexandre Birman.<\/p>\n

A popular look in outerwear this fall is the classic brown leather jacket in a variety of shades. This walnut leather blazer from Talbots puts a different spin on the fall staple by playing with a different silhouette typically reserved for cotton materials. This classic, light brown leather jacket by Theory is simple and easily paired with any piece in your closet.<\/p>\n

A more unconventional style of fall outerwear showing up this season is the cape. When you think of capes, you usually think of those reserved for dressier occasions like this black and white cape by Alexander McQueen. However, casual capes have been showing up in fashion lines for this fall like this fur-trimmed Khaki cape by Theory paired with a pair of jeans.<\/p>\n

Unforgettable Fur Outerwear<\/h4>\n
\"ANIMAL

Faux fur and animal print comes in and goes out of style all the time\u2014and for different seasons. This fall, faux fur like this animal pattern topper by Talbots is trending. Faux fur outwear like this shell shearling jacket by Helmut Lang, or a fall staple like these ABEO shearling-lined boots are good if you\u2019re looking to make a statement in your everyday attire.<\/p>\n

\"SHELL

Chunky and Funky<\/h4>\n

Hey ladies! Do have your cool boots yet for fall? When it comes to footwear this season, the chunkier the boot, the better. And, who would have thought of wearing short boots with skirts and dresses?<\/p>\n

After you get over the idea, try it! You will feel 10 years younger and look really hip.<\/p>\n

Boots can be uncomfortable for some with aging feet. You know, those bunions, arches that aren\u2019t what they used to be.<\/p>\n

ABEO NELLA BOOT<\/p><\/div>\n

Enter the boots by ABEO. Wow! So comfortable. ABEO footwear, a relatively new company, is based on designs they say \u201cto support your feet, align your body, balance weight distribution, increase stability, reduce foot fatigue and stress on your joints.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, guess what. They do! We tried the boots and they are so comfortable. They are really \u201cmade for walking!\u201d<\/p>\n

You can find them exclusively at The Walking Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get with it by wearing the new fall colors and make them snazzy with the low cut boots.<\/p>\n

And the style will continue on through 2017. A peak at the Paris fashion show reveals lots of boots with dresses and skirts. Back at home, comfy and fashionable boots by ABEO will take your through the season.<\/p>\n

This nude boot by Alexander Wang takes the chunky heel and applies it in a classic manner. For something funkier, this chunky-heeled camel fringe bootie by Rag & Bone is reminiscent of 70s attire.\n[awesome-gallery id=4642]<\/p>\n

Choked Up<\/h4>\n

[awesome-gallery id=4646]\nChokers, having last seen their heyday in the 90s, are another retro piece having a comeback this fall season. But chokers don\u2019t have to dress down an ensemble. This I.N.C cage collar fits into the choker trend, but is dressy enough to pair with evening wear and simple enough to wear every day. This Ettika rose quartz necklace incorporates both the choker and the pink trends from this fall season.<\/p>\n

From the shedding of typical fall pallets to the resurgence of styles from our past, fall 2016 fashion has a little something for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
