France was the birthplace of fashion. The French have dominated the fashion and art industry for centuries now. Their exquisite taste, unique sense of perception, and a keen eye for style is what sets them apart from the rest of the world and gives them the creative edge. This creative streak is to credit for the ever changing trends day in and day out.
Fall season is by far the most fashionable season because it is the perfect mix of casual comfort and chic sophistication. Following are some of the latest trends to hit the French runways this fall and winter season. Let’s get started.
Layering with a splash of color
Just in time for the chilly months, layering is in and on trend. An art that can very easily be done wrong yet just as effortlessly done right, layering has never been this chic. Layer your dress with a neon green, orange, or fuchsia blazer, jacket, or over a long-sleeved tee for that perfect ‘90s-inspired look. Make sure to never overdo it by seeking inspirations from the Prada show at Fashion Week.
Floral
Floral sounds rather odd for the fall season but the floral pattern is here to stay. Be it a floral top, jacket, skirt, or dress, anything floral is anything chic. Be sure to mix and match print with plain statement pieces to make the print stand out more like the outfits put together by YSL and Dior.
Oversized Shoulders
Shoulder pads seemed to be a thing of the past, but not anymore because they are officially making a comeback. Be it Versace or Chanel, everyone is all about the broad shoulders. Broad-shouldered dresses and jackets drive inspiration from the designs that reigned in the ‘80s and ‘90s to create a stylish silhouette that is sophisticated yet effortlessly unbothered.
Faux Fur
What other season is there to wear fur than the fall season? Faux fur is deliciously regal and comes with the added benefits of protecting animal rights and fighting for a meaningful cause. With mogul fashion houses now promoting faux fur such as Max Mara and Givenchy, faux fur is the ultimate style statement.
Fringes
Glamorous and statement, fringes sound everything but practical or appropriate for everyday wear but not anymore. The best part about them is that they manage to add a touch of uniqueness and specialty to any ensemble, making it stand out even more. This year Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and Dior made it a point to curate outfits that are wearable yet also fashionable.
Capes
We have all dreamt of wearing capes, so it is only fitting that this wish came true. Long, comfortable, effortlessly smart and mod, capes make the perfect statement. The best design of the season must be the cape and coat hybrid that can be worn by anyone and everyone. Be sure to check out YSL’s exclusive cape collection this season.
