STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Floral for Fall? Groundbreaking.

Fall is in full swing. The trees have vibrant red, orange, yellow and purple leaves that flitter and twirl through the cool autumn breeze while falling gracefully to the ground, paving way for a colorful path. Sweaters, jackets, scarves, boots and hats make their cameo after being tucked away in the back of everyone’s closet. These staple pieces have become almost too basic and need something to spice them up, and I’m not talking about the pumpkin kind! That is where floral comes in, and the right floral and flounce will revitalize any wardrobe.

This floral dress is perfect for fall as it is made of chiffon and has ruffling detailing down the front, mimicking the flitter and flutter of the dancing leaves. Pairing floral pieces with neutrals such as these nude heels makes it more appropriate for the cooler color palette that’s associated will fall weather. It can also be dressed down by wearing booties and layering up with a duster sweater or faux fur vest. For those who don’t want to commit to a full-on floral dress, incorporating separate pieces such as floral bomber jackets, pants and handbags are a good option as well. Choosing fabrics that are made of heavier material such as baroque or sleek satin make them have a rich, deep autumn feel.

Adding a unique twist to the rather predictable fall fashion makes one stand out and paves the way for being a true trendsetter. This floral trend is perfect for a day spent at an apple orchard, going on hayrides and especially attending Thanksgiving dinner. Whatever your fall activities entail, wearing floral pieces can be incorporated into any outfit for any occasion!
