AFRA: What Fall Trends Excite You?

Dear Ellie,

So it’s the back to school season, and the start of the fall shopping season. What trends have you excited right now?

Thanks a billion,

Well Dear fellow Albany Fashionista,

The trends of fall are really in all honesty a continuation of the trends we’ve been seeing. The Boyfriend Jacket is still a big deal. I love a suit jacket in the fall because it pulls an outfit together while offering practicality and an element of warmth. It can double as a suit coat and a fall jacket! How awesome is that? Military details are still in as well, and I don’t see them becoming a thing of the past anytime soon. Those wingtips we’re beginning to see are a big part of the military look this year. How do we know it’s big? J Crew is hyping it in the window. Yes, that classic and iconic fashion retailer is endorsing the military detailing. Get behind this trend. Off the shoulder is still a big deal too. Look for sweaters and sweat shirts!

But what I notice the most is that the looks are highly pulled together and maybe just a bit dressy. So be a bit diva in what you wear. Just don’t actually be a diva. They suck.

Ellie
