Fall has its benefits and a functional luxury is what is planned ahead. This means the casual look is being identified as comfort, delicate, soft yet glamorous. The attention on the end of the season. The take is on the feeling of being in an atmosphere of total bliss.
The shape of the garment is being emphasised to deliver the message of comfort with vogue.
The key colors would again be a definite say on the season and ranges from peachy pinks, dark coffee browns, cobalt icy blues, pasticcio beiges and also colored mixed prints, incorporating the lights and darks of color so they complement each other. Going forward, prints of this easy nature have its own way of speaking with hand sketched florals, large graphic palms, blurry botanical prints and dark floral prints.
These come in mixtures and are balanced to give that relaxed, calm look. Inspiration has also been drawn from art and other creative sources that inspire the emphasis on individuality. Moving onto shapes, all the key outlines remain very fitted, contoured and made to make the female figure more slender and smooth. More straps, string-necks and crossover necks are strong for the season with a focus on more asymmetrical necklines to avoid being very usual and predictable. Some attention is also placed on empire lines with full colored bands. Printed folded necklines and soft pleating across waists will follow to give the effect of being more full and dimensional. And to add glamour to this look, all colored metal jewelry will be a bonus.
Tie ups, scarves, shrugs and overalls are good during this cold time. Again, the elements of intricate details play a major role. The season doesn’t include many socialising events but this look can be applicable for both, but add more weight to the day.
A complete dose of smooth looks with trends from today making an ultimate daytime diva.
