So I know it is a little later in the season than I usually present the trends for fall, but with my exciting new endeavors, it got pushed back a little :)

Some of you may already have done your fall shopping, but I know many of you have not, or at least have not completed it yet. And further, whether you did or didn’t, many of you are not aware of the new trends of the season are and thus rely on Stylempower to give you a cheat sheet.

For those readers that are new to the insider news, my coined quote about trends is that “they are suggestions and not mandates”. Not every trend is for everybody, so pick and chose what you like, it is just good to be in the know.

Although fashion is always trying to make itself obsolete; so that you feel compelled to buy the next trend, it takes far more than a season to do so. With that, there are tons of continuing trends from both spring and from last fall and even back some seasons that are still very strong.

ANIMAL PRINTS, FUR & FAUX FUR, MENSWEAR PATTERNS, MOTORCYCLE JACKETS, OVER-SIZED DOUBLE-BREASTED BLAZERS, RUFFLES, TIERS & SHIRRING, PAPER BAG WAISTS, LEATHER & VEGAN LEATHER, UTILITARIAN DETAILS, ACCORDION PLEAT MIDI SKIRTS. and MICRO SIZED BAGS.

So if you own any of these items, continue to wear them and feel on-trend.

So, what is new?
