It is time to think of fall after Labor Day weekend. There is no better way to prepare for the changing of the seasons than by reorganizing your closet. There are five fashion trends that are sure to dominate the streets of NoVA this fall.
The Shacket
The shacket is a combo of a shirt and jacket. It looks like a typical autumnal flannel, but it is thicker than a regular shirt. 3 Sisters on King Street has an option combining flannel and corduroy. We need to mention that it is irreversible.
Long cozy sweaters
A cozy sweater will always be in style. A shawl collar, intarsia knitting, and longer length make this piece extra warm on cooler days. A longer sweater makes a statement with one piece. This sweater is one of the great fall favorites.
The Clueless aesthetic
If you are like me, you remember the movie Clueless. The movie’s aesthetic is back. Think plaid skirts and suits. Cher Horowitz would definitely have this checkered miniskirt in her closet.
Sequins and fringe circa the 1920s
It’s always said that fashion comes back around. When the style scene was dominated by the Flappers, fringe and sequines were all the rage. Thanks to Alexandria’s Mint Condition, you can now find that shiny style in NoVA. The Veronica Beard sequined black zip-up is a recent find that pays homage to the 1920s.
High waisted, loose-fitting jeans
Applause! The jeans are loose and high in the waist. The adult fashion scene is paying attention to the fact that teens have been wearing them for the last few years. A lot of fun finds can be found in the jeans department at Francesca’s Boutique. These jeans have scoop pockets, a coin pocket in front, and patch pockets on the back. The sweater and sneakers make for a great fall look.
