Trend Alert: The guide to fall fashion part 2

As you have all read part 1 (this link is a chance to redeem yourself if you haven't), I will just get into it. These are the other four fall trends, according to Style, to be watching out for.

Trend 4: Puzzling prints

Subtly is out this season. Prints are loud, intriguing and eye-catching. Designers carefully created pieces that look crazy and put together.

This outfit is not a quiet ensemble. It's loud and people will notice you. However, the ways the print flows and the simplicity close to the face make it work.

Prints are also being combined. This takes careful consideration and planning. Creating a pleasing outfit out of contrasting prints is not for everybody and this study shows that too much contrast is bad. Nonetheless, the idea is still something to experiment with. If you are going for contrasting prints, try using the same color palettes.

Trend 5: "The New Normal"

The whole idea of this style is to "stand out by blending in". Designers take fashion staples and add a little different touch. The effect is vast amounts of interest and curiosity.

 Look for staple pieces that stand out in some small way and pair them together. On those days when you don't feel like wearing a distinct print, you don't have to feel left out from fashion.

Trend 6: What goes around comes around

Fashion is cyclical. What was fashionable a couple decades ago will inevitably be trending again in some form or other. This fall we are entering back into the '60s. "Dolly bird dresses" and '60s shoe wear are no longer a thing of the past. This is not a bad thing though. The below dress, for instance, is adorable.

Trend 7: The sheer



Following the summer trend of crop and translucent tops, fall—ironically—means dresses that show more skin. Designers re-invented the evening dress with sheer fabric. The dresses are made with translucent textiles that cover only certain parts of the body.


Some pieces show things tastefully. Others are more outgoing. Make sure to try on a dress like this before buying it. No one wants to show up to a formal event practically naked. If you love the dress and it's too sheer, try some layering!

This could bring a whole new meaning to the word layering. I am excited for that!
