This fall it’s obvious that boots are all the rage. Knee high, thigh high, ankle high… you name it. They’re all in. Find a nice pair, put em on, and strut them off. Wanna spice it up? Add some leather. Leather jackets, leather pants, leather boots. We’re bringing back Hells Angels. Taking into account that the fall season is usually a dark one, add black along with any dark colors into your fall wardrobe, but if the feeling of too Goth comes around don’t be afraid to include some color. Neon blues and purples are an A ok. Check out Louis Vuitton “09 fall line for some ideas. Also in style are neutral colors. Beiges, light browns, kakis are all in. We get that the fall can get somewhat chilly, and layering up is a must, but if bulky is a constant worry, stuff your worries in a box and check out the baggy look. Top designers such as Chloe are incorporating the baggy look for this years fall fashion. This seasons all about experimentation, so don’t be afraid to try anything. Usually we’re telling you to go for one type, but this fall it’s all over. Pick your preference. Crazy is the new HOT.
