Fall 2016 Fashion Trends

Look, it is not my fault that summer is coming to an end. I don’t want it to be over either. I purposely avert my eyes and pretend not to see all the Halloween decor that is already on display. Don’t get me wrong, no one loves Halloween more than I do, I’m just not ready. I still have a garage full of beach gear to clean and put away and at this very moment, there is an unpacked duffel bag at my feet from our mini-vacay at the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing.

New York Fashion Week starts this Thursday, September 8th and it will certainly help put me in the mood to start assembling some anchor pieces for this fall season. My prediction is suede will be very popular this fall, especially in the form of booties. Suede booties are being worn with everything from jeans to cocktail dresses. If you are wearing them with leggings or jeans, my fashion tip is to make sure that a little skin is showing between the top of the bootie and the bottom of the pants. You can roll up the cuff if needed.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite pairs of suede booties at various points. I am leaning towards the first ones in taupe because they will go well with many colors. I’m thinking that my “go to” outfit this fall will be a long sleeve tee, blanket sweater, skinny boyfriend jeans, a large handbag and suede booties. It’s an easy outfit to assemble and I know that it will be comfy and chic at the same time!

P.S. I am also reading that velvet is making a big comeback, so don’t be hesitant to pick up a scarf or embroidered velvet bag.
