Fall shopping made simple

The leaves are turning, there’s a crisp chill in the air and the kids are back in school. It’s fall! Whether you take advantage of back-to-school sales or you’re just looking for a fashion update, fall is a great time to change your look. Here are some simple ways to update your wardrobe for fall.

Warm it up. The weather outside might be turning chillier, but your wardrobe should be warming up. Instead of cool hues and bright colors, switch your palette to nature-inspired shades–think autumnal brown, gold, sage green and deep blues (nothing’s more gorgeous than a fall sky).

Add texture. Mixing fabrics can be a great way to cozy up to fall. Take the cami that you were rocking all summer and add a chunky-knit cardigan, or add a cabled vest over your crisp, white shirt.

Glitz it. Your palette is getting more muted, and to balance that out, don’t be afraid to add a little sparkle. Add a sparkly, chunky necklace or a bracelet in hammered metal.

Why are these styles coming back?

Step into boots. Boots are an eternal fall staple, so be prepared to spend a little extra because good ones will last you forever. Choose a boot with luxurious leather and a stable heel. Not loving heals? Opt for Uggs, the flat-soled sheepskin boots that are always on the fall and winter hot lists.

Cover up. A new fall coat is the ultimate luxury, and while the trends change drastically year to year, some silhouettes never go out of style. Opt for a bright trench that fits you perfectly and a wool pea coat for colder weather, and you’ll be set for years to come.

Here’s Notorious’ Naturi Naughton rocking an outift that looks like something Richard Simmons wore during his Sweatin’ to the Oldies days. I think maybe it’s just the ensemble – as in, would she look better with a pair of cute heels instead of those furry boots, or was this outfit just doomed from the beginning? You tell me.
