There are some great new trends this fall, but with the sea of jeans and T-shirts around us, it’s easy to shy away from risky new styles because they are not of the norm. However, trying out a new style doesn’t have to be as scary as it seems! There are easy ways to create a smooth transition for a trend to fit in with anyone’s wardrobe.
For quite a while, punk accessories have been very popular. From studs to Doc Martens, many girls have turned to the dark side—and they love it! By mixing these tough accessories with something girlier, such as a floral dress, you can create an edgy look that will guarantee to get you noticed.
If you’re looking for something brighter, neons are in this season. Neons make great accessories to dazzle an otherwise simple outfit. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try an all neon look! A bright outfit can be toned down if worn in classical shapes, such as an A-line dress.
What’s great about neons is that they are so dynamic. Try a neon accessory for class or even an interview; it gives anything from a plain black T to a business professional blazer an extra pop. For a more casual look, wear a bright neon sneaker when going on your morning run, you’ll feel cute and sporty!
Along with neons, harem pants have also made a return from the 1980s. This comfortable trend can seem difficult to wear because of its awkward loose fit, however, pairing the pants with a tighter fitting top, such as a crop top, will perfectly compliment the style. Plus, for a formal look, wear the pants with a blazer to add some structure. There really isn’t any excuse not to try harem pants. These exotic bottoms are basically glorified PJs, and who doesn’t like wearing PJs to class after a long night of studying or partying?
Taking risks doesn’t have to stop with your clothing and accessories. Rockabilly hairdos have been everywhere lately, and this flirty look is a great alternative to your normal hairdo. Try channeling your favorite Mad Men star; all you need is a few bobby pins and some hairspray!
When you are trying out these cool styles, keep these three tips in mind:
1. Mix and match with basics
2. If trying out a new color or pattern, wear it in a simple, structured silhouette
3. Test the trend with some accessories
Remember, just because you want to stay on top of the trends, doesn’t mean that you need to look like you just hopped off the runway at Fashion Week. Fashion is still all about being your own person, representing yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin. So whether you’re trying out neons or sporting some studs, make it your own. Take some risks this fall, and don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd!
