Fall 2022 Trend List

 Every year since as long as I can remember I loved getting the huge issues of Fall Vogue and Harper's Bazar.  I would browse the pages intent to try to mimic the models in the glossy photos. Of course now that I am older, I know I can never mimic those models or the fashions they are wearing but I still love flipping through those pages!

I have learned over the years that a classic and "preppy" style is what fits me best, however, that doesn't stop me from caring about the new trends and how they can realistically incorporate into my wardrobe. 

Here are a few things I noticed in this year's fall Vogue:

1. Plaid and tweed are becoming popular again and not just classic as illustrated by Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Dior.

2. Darker florals are a way to keep those flowers well into the daylight savings time as illustrated by the new Louis Vuitton Victorian buttercup print on their bags and Balenciaga's new dress prints. 

3. Black with lace and Gothic jewelry are mainstream as shown in the Chanel ads. This look was also shown with Versace.

4. Adding to this Gothic revival is the wider and wider widths of belts, almost to a corset like look as illustrated by Gucci, Karen Millen, and Versace.

5. Leather also is paring well with all of these new trends as illustrated by Givenchy and Fendi.

So how do these looks become mainstream everyday wear in a classic preppy wardrobe? With subtle interest is how...

Now of course finding those perfect pieces can also prove to be daunting and time consuming as well though.... Out of my passion for fashion I decided to open my own boutique of all the new pieces in one place. Coco & Dante has now launched as " A curated collection of classic & timeless pieces at affordable prices for the stylish woman!" 

Here is just a sampling of pieces for this fall that hit all the trends:

1. This woolen plaid blazer with leather elbow patch from the British Countryside collection not only shows the plaid trend but also the leather element.

2. For darker florals, this lace Boheme floral print dress definitely fits the bill.

3. If you do want to be daring and add in the leather/ gothic element without spending a fortune, why not pair the dark floral dresses with a leather corset belt? 

4. This mixed media of plaid and tweed dress  Riley dress gives the same vibe as the Dior looks for a fraction of the price and also would pair well with a corseted belt. 

5. Adding also to the leather trend, which is also really a classic though, why not trade your blue jeans in for a pair of leather trousers paired with a fair isle sweater?
