It’s finally the moment that many fashion lovers have been waiting for: the fall season. Fall means New York City Fashion Week — a major deal in the fashion world. Fashion Week is significant because it tends to set the trends for the next season.

In fall, many fashionistas wear and style the trends and pieces that were showcased in last spring’s New York City Fashion Week for Fall 2015. With each new fall season buyers are awaiting the new trend pieces that will be released; they will also learn the trends that may be carried over into the new fall season from previous years.

A key part to fall fashion and a favorite to many is layering, considering many people are coming out of a very warm summer season. Start and stock up on your fall wardrobe with some simple staple basic pieces that you can layer and use for many outfits and also transition into other seasons. Then continue to build your wardrobe with different accessories to completely transform a look from event to event or from season to season. Some popular pieces for this fall will be floppy hats, over the knee boots, turtlenecks, and boyfriend jeans.

Although fall is usually associated with its warm neutrals and rich colors, this season prepare to be introduced to some more variety. According to Pantone, gray, olive green, and maroon will be major colors for this fall season along with some other unexpected colors such as orange, coral, lavender, teal, navy and periwinkle.

Some people may be afraid to commit to so called “season colors.” One very safe way to wear these colors would be by wearing your accessories in the brighter statement colors such as a coral scarf or a navy handbag, and grounding the look with earth tones or neutrals, such as a gray or tan sweater with a basic dark pant.

Brighter colors in the form of accessories will add a pop of color to neutral outfits. By wearing neutral colors and adding fun accessories, expect to be able to wear outfits in your wardrobe again and again.

According to Glamour, some looks that will get a lot of wear this fall are skirts and dresses paired with tights and cardigans. For example, a bold colored dress in one of the predicted fall shades with black tights and a neutral sweater is a fashionable and trendy option. This outfit provides warmth, while still ensuring that the wearer looks stylish in the latest trends. As for skirts, a bold skirt color and neutral sweater or blouse color, or a statement sweater or blouse color paired with a neutral skirt color, are good options.

Even though these trends and colors are going to be “what’s in” for this fashion season, they are not the end-all, be-all. Feel free to play around with other pieces and colors to create your own looks and style. Everyone’s style is their own and unique to them — so do not be afraid to wear what you want and have fun doing so.
