The Menswear Fall 2020 Fashion shows have wound to a close! We’re here to illuminate the top trends spotted on the runway and how you can actually apply them to your wardrobe.

A Pop of Color

We’re seeing a lot of head-to-toe neutrals with an accentuated pop of color. Keep your outfit grounded with shades of tan, camel, eggshell or grey and complete the look with a piece or accessory of color. We love how minimalistic flesh tones neutralize hard-to-wear brights and other colors of risk, allowing for a new way to wear hues you otherwise wouldn’t consider!

All Buttoned Up

Outerwear acts as a centerpiece, buttoned all the way to the top in a sleek approach to layers!

Maxed Out Monochrome

This trend has been building for a while, but is now in full force with interesting shades of deep plum, lavender, tan, sage, and Air Force blue. We’re also seeing less-surprising but equally sharp renditions in all black.

Hints of Vintage

Nodding to fashion geniuses of the past, we’re seeing a ton of vintage inspiration on the runway.
Fur Accents: Fur trim reminiscent of early 1900s Russia is a cozy upgrade to men’s coats. We’re seeing fur on trenches, wrap jackets, leather jackets and denim!
Waist Tie Revival: Outerwear is on board with the waist tie! Whether robe-style or belted, it adds sharpness and proportion.
High Waisted Trousers: The high rise is back! What does that do for you? A higher waisted trouser creates the illusion of longer legs, while also ending at the smallest part of the waist, creating a “triangular effect” to the torso (think: Superman).

Leather on Leather!

We’re seeing leather in rich tans, browns and muted blacks. Rather than punk-rock vibes of the past, leather is styled to feel modern, minimalist and sleek. The runway formula is as follows: leather outerwear + leather bag + leather boot.

Increase the wearability of your fall and winter pieces with our favorite figure-defining game changer, the waist belt. We love waist belts for their ability to flatter over layers and cinch any outfit as a trend-right centerpiece! In this article we’re going to show you five ways to style a waist belt for easy-to-wear outfits you can rock throughout the entire holiday season!

The Cinched Dress

Cinching a dress at the waist draws all attention to the smallest part of your figure! Try cinching a layered slip dress for added shape, or go ultra-feminine and belt a dress with a full skirt.

The Belted Blazer

Blazers have been going strong for the entirety of 2019, and the trend isn’t showing signs of stopping any time soon! To see more on blazer outfit ideas, check out our recent post The Oversized Blazer here.

The Belted Trouser/High-Waisted Jean

The waist belt adds a classic touch to trousers or jeans. Looks great with a tucked in blouse, or when paired under an open blazer or trench.

The Cinched Cardigan

Cinching a chunky cardigan adds definition and proportion to an outfit that might otherwise have none.

The Skirt Centerpiece

Adding a belt to your skirt creates a perfect centerpiece to work back to shoes and accessories!

Styling The Wide Leg Jean for Fall

You’ve seen wide leg jeans last throughout the sunny days of 2019, but how do you transform this airy silhouette from summer to fall? The answer is within how you style your pieces! Playing with heavyweight sweaters, ankle boots and layering are key to transforming this still trending pant to the chilly months ahead.

The Chunky Sweater

Pair your wide leg jeans with a chunky sweater. Break up the bulkiness by tucking a part of your top piece at the waist, and pair the outfit with ankle boots or sneakers!!

The Oversized Blazer

We LOVE how the oversized blazer adds flattering movement to the outward silhouette of wide leg jeans. Pair these pieces with a basic long sleeve, tee or blouse and add ankle boots, heels or heeled mules.

The Outer Layer

Whether it’s a trench, teddy bear sherpa or thick coatigan, use your outer piece to add weight and movement. Complete the outfit with a shoe that adds femininity through shine, chic silhouette or statement color. We love ankle boots or heels with this look!

This year we’ve seen chain link transcend from necklaces and bracelets, to dangling earrings, to belts and now HAIR ACCESSORIES! The possibilities are endless – go bold and edgy, minimalist and clean, or layer and mix pieces for a look that’s entirely new. In this article, we’re going to show you how to wear these pieces for on-trend style you can apply to your own wardrobe!

Layering Your Chains

Mix and match weights, textures and metals to master this layering trend! We love playing off the strength of heavyweight chain link with delicate pieces layered underneath!

Shop Necklaces Here:

Statement Jewelry

Throw on a single bold chunky chain link necklace or bracelet for an effective minimalist approach. Opt for more subtle edge with dangling chain earrings or a barrette.

Chain Link Belts

This trend looks best when utilized to accentuate the feminine figure. Highlight your waist by pairing this piece with a high waisted skirt or jeans – or using it to cinch your blazer/duster.

We are loving the latest trend of teddy bear faux fur jackets in hip or knee length, and smooth or curled fur. This textural outerwear piece is the perfect compliment to a monochromatic neutral top and bottom.
