“What’s the trend for this season?” This is one of the most common questions we ever get asked! By the end our seasonal buying trip, there are commonalities that we see all through the marketplace.  Here are some of our notes from last time highlighting a few things you’ll be sure to see circulating in fashion throughout the season:

  • Animal Print EVERYTHING.
    • Animal print is always current, but sometimes it surges more than others. Leopard, cheetah and python have made an imprint on the season’s fashion.  From handbags to pants, and coats to jewelry, the animal kingdom has taken over fall 2019!!
  • Faux fur trim.
    • One of the most prevalent ways you’ll see this trim is in a WIDE faux fur trim cuff on cover ups and ponchos.  Cozy collars are another faux fur feature to warm up to this season 🙂
  • Embroidery.
    • Lots and lots of embroidery, mostly floral, gives a feminine detail to shirts and tops.  We’ll see it often on denim shirts as a nod to western clothing culture.
  • Artist-driven fashion.
    • This happens in a few different ways:
      • Designers are inspired by famous artists and works of art.
      • Designers contract with artists to copy their art as a print.
      • Designers actually create prints from their own art or digital design.  This is important because their design is actually “proprietary” and cannot be used by any other company, ensuring uniqueness!
  • COLORS:
    • This is what EVERYONE wants to know.  While there are some colors that seem to be popular, you’ll see it ALL.  Here’s what we noticed:
      • Greens…Olive, Teal & Emerald (yay!)
      • Often fall palettes include royal colors like purple and burgundy.  We’re hoping to see some “Aggie Red!”
  • Other note-ables for the season to look for:
    • Prints:
      • Mixed, Status and Plaid.  Honestly, we’ve been over plaid for a while, but it just doesn’t seem to be going away!
    • Zipper details.
    • Heathered fabric as a base for prints.  This seems to add a “cozy” element to the garment and softens otherwise harsh prints.
    • Stars!

This is just an idea of the trends you’ll see over the next few months, but truly, it’s just the tip of the iceberg!  We get fun, new items to tempt you with everyday…no matter what your style preference is!  See you soon!
