Fashion Picks for Fall 2016

Are you a real trendsetter or passionate about staying on top of the latest trends? Discover the fashion picks for the fall of 2016 and stay on top of the latest trends so you can make the right fashion statements this year!

Historical Fashion
Some things that have gone out of style centuries ago are suddenly back in style again. This certainly applies to the renaissance style, at least according to designers such as Gucci, Vanessa Steward, Chanel and Ellery.

Fashion during the renaissance was characterised by velvet materials, puffy sleeves and corsets, so fashion designers have incorporated these characteristics again in modern fashion. Fortunately, this means you do not have to look for renaissance dresses to be in style, but that you can look for clothing items with the trendy puffy sleeves and corset design.

Tinsel
Another trend that has come to the forefront this fall is tinsel. While we usually associate tinsel with the holiday season, tinsel is the trend for the fall according to Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. So if you see something with tinsel in the clothing store, do not be afraid to make that fashion statement and acquire a piece of clothing with some tinsel accents.

Not sure how to combine a tinsel shirt, top or sweater? Add a couple of pairs of jeans to your wardrobe, because jeans fabric never goes out of style and can be combined with absolutely everything- check out retailer Jeanswest.

Handbags with Embellished Straps
Rock stars certainly have an influence on fashion trends, because handbags an embellished guitar strap are definitely in style this season. The embellished guitar strap was seen on the runway of fashion designers such as Burberry, Fendi and Anya Hindmarch, all fashion designers known for their original and trendsetting handbags.

Capelets
If you are not that familiar with capelets, it is time to get familiar with them now, because capelets are the pinnacle of fall fashion in 2016. Fashion with incorporated capelets have been spotted on the runway of Christian Dior, Burberry and Brandon Maxwell, so even the classiest of fashion designer recognise this up and coming trend.

Chokers
While the majority of chokers have been limited to gothics over the past few years, they are considered as a high fashion accessory once again. However, chokers that are currently in style are far from the classic ribbon chokers that were all the rage in the 90s. For 2016, fashion designers such as Dries Van Noten and Lavin appeared with real statement chokers on the runway. So for 2016, the more unique the choker, the more fashionable you are.

Striped Suits
Professional women looking to remain in style can prepare themselves for the end of 2016 with a striped suit. Fortunately for women with a little excess weight, stripes that are currently in style are the elongating pinstripes, which have the ability to lengthen the body and give it an overall slimmer appearance.

Striped suits have been spotted on many different runways this season; this includes the runways of famous fashion designers such as Max Mara, Trussardi, Calvin Klein, Tibi and Sies Marjan.

The David Bowie Influence
David Bowie was known for his brilliant music, but also for his unique fashion style. Designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Marc Jacobs are now recognising that fashion style by releasing some David Bowie styled boots in their fashion lines.

The so-called David Bowie boots can be described best at platform heels, so women should be prepared to wear some really high heels this season. The boots have also appeared in a variety of colours on the runway, so whether you like pure white, black or tiger print, all colours and prints are considered fashionable for these types of boots this season.

The Long Sleeve
Since it is getting colder, many women are more than happy to see extra-long sleeves appearing on the catwalk. Sleeves on runways of Marc Jacobs and Fenty are so long they fully cover the hands of models showing the new collection, so if you easily get cold during the fall and winter, this fashion trend should be on top of your list.

Hoodies
Hurray for the return of hoodies, since high fashion can also be comfortable this year. Say goodbye to razor thin sweaters. because warm hoodies are definitely in style again. Just ask fashion designers such as Alexander Wang, Lacoste and Anthony Vaccarello.

Conclusion
Keeping up with fashion is never easy, but thanks to the constant return of old fashions, most women do not have to buy an entirely new wardrobe to be trendy. So before you head out to a store and buy the latest designer clothes, have a look at your current wardrobe to see if some of your outdated clothing items have become stylish again for the fall!
