Fall is just around the corner, bringing cooler weather and cool fashion trends to match. Whether you’re off to enjoy the weather on a casual day trip or are heading to the club for a night of dancing, you can be confident and up-to-date with the latest styles below!
Update Your LBD With Black and Sheer
Ladies, we all need a little black dress in our wardrobes. Something guaranteed to make us look and feel fantastic and confident, not to mention turn a few heads once we arrive at the party.
When you find a super sexy LBD, it’s hard to pass it up! But with the new trend that combines sheer fabric with black dresses, you have the perfect excuse to go shopping for a brand-new LBD that will make you sizzle all night.
Black and sheer are a match made in heaven. The best part is, there are countless combinations, from intricate lace-like designs to a modest sheer along the back or sides. Long sleeved, sleeveless, deep plunge, mini skirt, maxi skirt … any style you can think of looks stunning in classic black. But the touch of sheer will turn a cool fall soirée into a hot night out.
Show Your Shoulders
You worked hard on your tan this summer and even sculpted your arms so that you’d look utterly fabulous in tank tops during the heatwave of summer. Why cover it all up now that autumn is here? There is still plenty of time to show off those shoulders, and with the latest dress trends for fall 2016, it is easier than ever to stay comfortable and fashionable at the same time.
Long sleeve dresses with shoulder cut-outs are increasingly popular, and for good reason! The dramatic lines highlight all of your best features, drawing attention to your face and chest. Your shoulders also do plenty of talking, offering a bold outline to the overall look while simultaneously giving a soft and sensual vibe.
As the weather turns cooler, pair these flattering dresses with a capelet for a new, complementary look that will keep your shoulders warm outside. But once you’re inside and ready to mingle, let those shoulders out!
Side Slits Are Back
It’s fashionable to show off your shoulders this fall, and it’s also trendy to keep your legs in the picture as well. Virtually any length of dress can have a side slit! Asymmetrical dresses give the most dramatic look, but the goal is to either boldly show off your toned summer legs or to give fleeting, flirty glimpses as you move.
Remember Angelina Jolie’s gorgeous side slit dress? It was floor-length but had a slit all the way up to her thigh. She was not shy about showing off her legs, and you shouldn’t be either! The dresses of fall 2016 make it super easy to be bold, confident and sexy. Add a few dresses to your closet that have various styles of side slits so that you can choose whichever one strikes your fancy at any given moment. You’ll be sure to look stunning no matter your choice!
Olive Green Is On the Scene
Of course, you don’t have to listen to the old saying, “Don’t wear white after Labor Day.” There are plenty of beautiful white dresses that you can still rock at any time of the year. Like black, white never goes out of style.
But for fall 2016, green is the color that is stepping boldly to the forefront, particularly olive green. This soft, muted color matches perfectly with brilliant oranges, reds and yellows that are symbolic of fall, and replaces brown as a neutral color.
Let an olive green dress of any length serve as a backdrop for bolder accessories, like scarves, necklaces and earrings. Or, keep it simple and let the shape of the dress itself be the highlight of the night.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also experiment with brighter green tones that are edging their way onto the stage this fall, such as kelly green or mint green. The world outside might be fading to a dull brown for winter, but your wardrobe certainly does not have to follow suit!
Give a Bit of Flare
Flares are hitting the market again, and this time not just in the form of flared jeans. Flared sleeves are making a comeback, providing a flowing and flattering profile to any dress.
In fact, the flared look applies to the dress as a whole as well. Loose-fitting, non-conforming dresses are comfortable and casual, and you’ll love the way they bounce and twirl as you move. They are perfect for a casual date night, or they can be dressed up a bit with accessories.
The flared sleeves you’ll find on the market for fall 2016 are smaller than the giant sleeves of the 70s, but if you do come across a bold dress with long, billowing sleeves, give it a try! It is always fun to experiment and be adventurous. After all, how else would new trends get started?
