Leaves have fallen, Fashion Month has commenced and fashionistas are trying their hand at this fall’s trends. From ponchos to lace-up booties, runways from the Fall 2015 fashion shows executed ensembles that we can’t wait to experiment with. Thanks to simple silhouettes from Nina Ricci and Celine, flowy dresses from Chloe and minimalist looks from Hermes and Stella McCartney, some trends are easier to re-create than you think. Although the reality is that every morning we’re in too much of a hurry (thanks to hitting snooze one too many times) for a runway-ready style session, relying on an easy outfit idea doesn’t take a lot of effort to pull off, as this season’s trends offers a slew of simple looks to re-create.
Put yourself on the style radar with trends inspired by the runways:
Slip dress silhouette: the simplest, easiest dress resembling an underslip intended to be seen. Check out Harper’s Bazaar’s ways to style a slip dress here.
What you’ll need:
First and foremost, wear it as-is while you can, but when weather prohibits, put a fresh spin on the '90s-era staple by layering with skinny trousers and a thin sweater. Pair it with some ankle boots, and you’ve nailed it.
Bohemian
What you’ll need:
Don’t store away those flowy sundresses yet. Match them with skinny scarves, fur accessories and lace-up booties for the ultimate Bohemian style. Embroidered tops, off-the-shoulder blouses and vests styled with fringe or suede bags go very well with the crisp autumn air and fallen leaves. Grab grandpa’s vinyls for inspiration and channel your inner Stevie Nicks this fall, ladies.
The minimalist
What you’ll need:
Taking the fashion scene by storm, the minimalist look still continues to make the biggest statement of all. Simple, monochromatic ensembles can easily be achieved with a black jumpsuit or comfy gray sweater with a full-length wool coat and modern loafers. The best way to achieve this trend is to invest in a matching set featuring neutral trousers and a coordinating top. Stay within the same color palette, make sure the shoes don’t overpower the look and voila — that minimal-chic feel is yours.
Amid the go-to t-shirt and leggings combination, break free from the force of Uggs and yoga pants this season and try an alternative that will surely make you feel like a rockstar for making it to your 8 a.m. in style.
