We are going to talk about my absolute favorite fashion  season  – FALL.  I know, I know, we don’t want summer to end – and believe me I’m not a fan of snow, cold ice and rain, dreary days and everything else that comes with Cleveland winters.  However, I love, love, love fall clothes and the cold reality of winter will be upon us sooner than we think – so we need to discuss how to look good through the long, cold, dreary months coming up.

You may be asking why do you love fall fashion so much.  And I would respond with what not to love about fall fashion.  The rich fall colors, the comfortable fabrics and textures, the pretty winter coats and we cannot forget about the wonderful world of BOOTS.  Oh my, yes ladies, I will have a special post dedicated to BOOTS!!  In the meantime, you cannot begin shopping for fall clothes without knowing what the top trend color is for the season.

There is a new black in town this season………………and its name is grey.  Be it light, dark or charcoal grey (my favorite), it is the choice of color this fall season.  To keep grey from looking boring to trendy, add a pop of color to your grey outfit.  Matter of fact, another trend color this season is purple – be it amethyst, plum, berry – anything in the purple family is in this fall and is a wonderful combo with grey.  Grey is such a versatile alternative to black and is also a great neutral – almost every color looks good with grey. 

                                                              

Here is your classic grey suit.  I’m a lover of grey pinstripe suits – but either way, if you enjoy wearing suits, then you will need your grey suit.  I recommend it in a dark or charcoal grey – especially if you want to go from office look to night out look!

                                                            

The straight pencil skirts look good in either black or grey.  And as mentioned above, this season grey is the new black.  Pair this skirt with a teal or purple top……Nice.  Or you can go for the sophisticated, classic look by adding a crisp, tailored white collared top.  That’s actually one of my favorite looks.  Add some 3 to 4 inch stilletto’s and a stand-out piece of jewelry….that look will make a grown man cry!

                                                                  

Here is your grey sweater that is a must in everyone’s wardrobe.  Pair it with a white cami or tank underneath and some nice dark rinsed jeans or black wide legged trouser…….great combination.

                                                               

Prepster look.  Not everyone is a fan of this look – but I like it……………great casual look, especially to wear on the weekends while shopping, going out to eat, etc. 

                                                                

And last but not least, I added this picture due to the grey boots.  Once again, we will have a post all about BOOTS! 

Point is….get at least one grey item for your wardrobe.  It looks good with a variety of colors and is an excellent alternative to wearing black all the time. 

Until next time…………………………………………….s.
