guide: trends that are here to stay.

July 7, 2009 at 10:24 pm

I always find it a bit amusing in early July when all of the summer clearance sales are taking place (and summer officially just began in late June!).

With summer apparel being discounted to make way for fall merchandise, I thought it would be useful to take a look at the summer trends which will continue to be popular in the fall so that you can sift through all of the fabulous end-of-season sales and purchase summer apparel that can transition to your fall wardrobe.

I’ve analyzed the fall fashion runway shows and have the top trends that are here to stay for another season.

1. Studded Bliss Studs were seen all over sandals in the summer. Look for studded summer shoes (with a bit more coverage than sandals) and studded lightweight tops and tanks that can be layered under warmer pieces for the fall.

2. Bold Colors Glow Find the brightest colored apparel from summer (yes! neon is fine for fall 2009!) and wear them layered to give your fall wardrobe a vibrant look. We saw pinks, reds, greens, blues, purples and yellows!

3. Cardigans Rule Cardigans continue to rule. Grab any clearance cardigans you can find and wear them as the weather gets cooler.

4. Romancing with Ruffles Spring, summer and fall – ruffles continue to be popular. Look for tops and accessories (purses!) with ruffles that you can pair up with your fall wardrobe.

5. Egyptian Influence Fabric draping and rounded wide collars continue to be on the fashion runways. Be on the lookout for wide choker-style or bib necklaces and wear them with your fall outfits. Also look for dresses and tops with draping and rounded collars that you can pair with vests as it gets colder outside.
