Summer, you we're a cool season, but the best season of all times goes to autumn. I'm super stoked about sweaters, hot cocoa, animal print two piece suits, crisp weather, and fall leaves. I'm dedicated to totally embracing not relying solely on summer to have fun, vacation, and enjoy life. Especially because autumn is such a dope season and there's still so many activities to get into.

I'm not super big on seasonal fashion trends or fashion trends in general, but checking out some of the looks from 2017 New York Fashion Week and other collections for the autumn season is giving me so much inspiration to create some bomb ass looks. Let's get into some of the top trends for the upcoming season:

1. Plaid Prints

Plaid is a classic autumn staple for many fashionistas. There's been a trend of grey plaid going down runways from New York to Paris. My favorite plaid pieces are plaid skirts and pants. I think it's pretty safe to say plaid will never go out of style

2. Futuristic Silver & Gold Metallics

Usually silver and gold pieces are big during the holiday season in specific, however they're making a flashy statement this autumn.


3. Flower Power

Just because it's autumn it doesn't mean you have to trade in flowers for leaves. While typical fall colors of red, burnt orange, and brown are popular for seasonal wear, don't be afraid to go bold and play with typical spring and summer colors and florals.

4. Funky Furs

Mind you, I don't mean funky as in smelling funk, I mean funky as in groovy, dope, cool. Ya know? Yeah *twiddles thumbs* Anywho. These furs aren't your grandma's vintage beaver coat, these are fun, colorful, hip, and are sure to bring color to any autumn day. Collars, jackets, coats, muffs, and so forth, it's all about colorful furs this year.

5. Pink & Red for the Win

Think pink and see red with a monochromatic look this season with head to toe red or pink. I usually add other colors to bold skirts and dresses like the ones shown above, however it would be fun to wear an entire color from top to bottom. Surprisingly I've never tried that before.

BONUS:

Shearling

I remember back in the 2000's shearling coats were all the rage, and it looks like they just made a major comeback. Now you can match your classic Ugg boots perfectly.

Feathers

Go hard or go home. Feathers are really pushing it to the edge and I'm loving every bit of it. I honestly would have never expected for feathers to be trendy in a season like autumn, but it is so unorthodox and vibrant and I can definitely see myself feathered up this fall.


What I'm loving about the trends for Fall 2017 Fashion is the retro themes and unique pieces. I usually play it on the safe side with browns and oranges, but I can't wait to experiment with bold colors and even feathers this season.
