Fall styles feature a variety of fresh looks. Loose and flowy cardigans make way for structured jackets and blazers that add a sharpness to any wardrobe. You’ll see deep hues mixed with paler shades and many ways to mix them. Plums, greenish-blues, and cherry-reds dominate, with color blockings mixed in painterly patterns. Black now pairs with brown, a combo that gives black no less of an edge while enhancing its richness in ways you’ve never seen. In essence, fall fashion feels new again, and local retailers are all stocked up.
