With the fall season now upon us, many of us are thinking about updating our wardrobe with some of the newest trends.

The looks this fall season are varied from jeans in a variety of colors to wide-legged dress pants and lace-up booties.

Leggings are still popular and paired up with a tunic top makes a great casual Sunday outfit.

Belted fall coats are also popular, but this look is more suited to women who are seeking to add curves to their body. For those that have the curves, a tailored coat without the belt will accentuate your figure nicely.

You’ll also notice a lot of the fall trends are oversized. These styles can look great on any figure depending on how its put together. To avoid the potato sack look, pair an oversized top with fitted pants.

The shift dress has also made its appearance this fall. It is a loose fitting dress that hangs from the shoulders. You can take a look at it here.

There is a shift dress for every lady regardless of the shape and size. What you’ll notice with this item is that it is not just in the plain colors of the past. Plaids, and graphics are popular this fall and make their appearance in all types of clothing. Shirtdresses are still popular and there are several styles to choose from.

The tailored look is also popular. You’ll find this in everything from coats to slack. Popular colors for these tailored items are the classic black, and many shades of grey.

Glitter is not just for evenings anymore. A lot of the tops available are shiny, bright and bold. Gone are the typically muted shades of colors that we see every fall and in are the shiny metallics

Shoes Shoes Shoes

My favourite trend that is out right now has to be the bootie.
Other popular trends in shoes are the T-strap sandals and patent leather is still going strong.

Handbags
Patchwork handbags are making a comeback. I remember these bags from the 80’s. They’ve never been a favourite of mine; I prefer the animal bags that are currently in like this one. It’s also in this season’s hottest style the satchel.

This fall there are options for everywoman of every size and shape. Pick a few pieces you like and add to your wardrobe. To avoid breaking the bank, check out stores like T.J. Maxx and Payless Shoe Source. Or if your budget can afford check out stores such as Nordstrom.

Happy fall everyone.
