Today's Style Trends: A/W Accessory Trends

So we've talked about shoe and apparel trends for autumn and winter, now let's talk about the items that can make or break an outfit: accessories. Though accessories always show up in a variety of styles, a few stood out to us in the categories of jewelry, hats, sunnies, and best of all, bags.

Let's first start off with jewelry. When you grace the pages of any major fashion magazine, you will surely see chain pieces, dainty pieces, modernized pearls, statement necklaces and earrings, large pendant necklaces, and lots of rings.
The major trend we are seeing with jewelry is chain jewelry. From necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, this trends is showing up everywhere. This simple statement piece can take a basic outfit from boring to edgy. 



Seen on people such as Rita Ora and Rihanna, chain necklaces are sure to be a staple accessory for anyone's fall wardrobe.


Let's move onto hats. Leather caps and fedoras are going to be huge this coming season.

Style icons such as Danielle Bernstein have been seen sporting a leather cap.


And Victoria's Secret models Behati Prinsloo and Miranda Kerr have worn fedoras time and time again.


Leather caps turn any look edgy or rocker chic, and fedoras can be taken as either boho or classic.



Now sunglasses. Sunnies perfect for every season, but this season's must have style is the aviator. 

Coming in super cool new ways, you can choose a classic Ray-Ban, or go for a more modern style with Prada.



Our favorite people seen wearing these statement sunnies have been Eleanor Calder, Victoria Beckham, Miranda Kerr, and Danielle Bernstein.



And last, but certainly not least, we are seeing a lot of trends with bags. Structured totes, slouchy crossbodies, envelope clutches, and chain strap bags are everywhere, and are sure to make a statement this coming season.
Though each type of bag has is right time and place for use, the most versatile and most used out of these trends is definitely the structured tote bag. Designers such as Mulberry, Céline, Givenchy, Zara, and Phillip Lim have mastered this trend, and have put out some wicked designs that are sure to be a key wardrobe staple for anyone. From school, to work, to just everyday errands, these bags can be used anywhere, anytime.





Miranda Kerr, Eleanor Calder, and Danielle Bernstein have put these bags to good use.

Today's Style Trend: Monochrome

Monochrome: black, white, and grey... How simple could this trend be? It has always been a huge part of fashion, but we have recently seen it coming into play more. Is this trend considered boring or is it so easy anybody could do it? In our opinion, monochrome is the epitome of an effortless look! Whatever you pair with a black, white, or grey piece instantly goes with it.

Monochrome doesn't always have to be 'boring,' though! You can add statement pieces to make it daring and add a little bit of color:


Or you can keep it simple and look chic and effortless:


This trend has been adopted into the high fashion world by brands such as Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Jason Wu, and a plethora of other amazing designers.

To achieve the effortless monochrome look doesn't cost much money. You can easily go to a thrift store and find unique pieces, or you can get pieces such as these from retail stores:
(From left to right: Zara, Aritzia, and Topshop.)
This trend is something that is easily achievable, and something everyone can easily pull off. We hope that how we style monochrome will give you inspiration on how to make this basic trend something that catches people's eyes!

Today's Style Trend: A/W Fashion

As you all know, Autumn is on the horizon! That means one thing: Closet changes! We want to update you all on what to keep an eye out for this Autumn/Winter, so you can be up to date this season.

The first trend that caught our eye was something very sultry and 1930's and 1940's esque. This trend would be no other than lingerie style clothing for evening wear! People such as Victoria Beckham and Rihanna have exemplified this look:


It's a very sexy, yet elegant way to pull off the "just rolled out of bed" look!

Another trend to look out for is plaid or tartan! The print could remind you of a typical school girl outfit, but you can make it very chic if you keep it simple!




People such as Kate Moss, Rihanna, and Emma Watson have made this look effortless!

This next trend is something nearly EVERYONE loves, and can pull off! It also isn't something very new to the fashion world. It's leather! Leather is the best way to make a very basic outfit look edgy and cool!

Nearly everyone has worn leather, but here are some of our favourite ways people have worn it:



This next trend is actually one of my favourites for the fall! It's very flattering and effortless. It's palazzo pants! Palazzo pants started making it big in the fashion world only within the past few years, but just know that it'll stick around for quite some time! Palazzo pants can be worn year round, but in the fall they can be worn with a cozy knit sweater and some heels! 

This is a trend everyone should definitely attempt!

The second to last trend is a way to definitely vibe up an outfit... Animal prints!
This trend ranges from snake, cheetah, to zebra, and cow print. It is definitely a look for someone who wants to put a little edge in their look! 

It's been featured by brands such as Burberry, Alexander Wang, and Marc Jacobs.
