The cold and tough winter months need warmth: colors that calm the soul and help us keep going forward. Pantone®'s palette is full of contrasts and features four especially warm colors: American Beauty being the most notorious of them all, is meant to be a "feel-good" color and is used to complement edgy or quirky fashion. Honey Yellow brings the sunshine in while staying subdued and fit for winter, its fashion style is classic and feminine with a vintage feel. An interesting combination is created when matched with Burnt Sienna, a fall classic with a rusty twist in a base of orangey rose featured in frilly pieces with a retro touch.
Last but not least, comes the king of neutrals: Crème Brûlée. Frostier than our regular nudes, it becomes one of the most elegant hues in current styles. When paired with color, the result is impeccably chic, as it conveys joy amidst a challenging environment.

Layering is one of the most interesting ways to transform looks and keep current - and a most needed resource during the colder months. Waistcoats, sleeveless tops, gilets and vests are key and become the cherry on top of a well-layered fashion ensemble. Mixing different textures, lengths, thicknesses and styles is the way to go and will create striking end results every time.
Eclectic is this season's motto.

Skirts: the epitome of chic and femininity are as strong as coats this fall. Focusing on the short side (knees abound) and full of detailing, a whole outfit can be produced around today's skirt. Accompany minis with the myriad of tights available or the all mighty thigh-high boots and you will be ready to enjoy the leafy season as if it were warm and sunny all day.

A short jacket or coat continues the frisky attitude while a longer or oversized one creates an unexpected balance: layers will provide the perfect temperature while adding character to the outfit. It's all about experimenting and finding a nouveau allure for the season, so don't be shy.

Should studs still be considered a passing trend? Over the seasons their versatility has surpassed the punk rock scene proving their importance in fashion. Studs have become a way of life, adding attitude and modernity regardless of the garment. They are equally able to become the cherry on top for an elegant ensemble or the witty contradictory element on an otherwise straightforward piece.

Best of all, studs' 80s reference is no longer needed, they have officially become part of the current way of life. Proof of just that is the existence of sites devoted to stud style.

A jacket can make or break an outfit in a second. It serves as an instant label of the style that is trying to be conveyed. It can be contradictory, balancing or entirely matching to the rest of the ensemble. You can be wearing the exact same pieces and the jacket you choose to go with them will create a fashion sense the others cannot.

Take for example, a polished and sensual one-shoulder dress in black (Alexander Wang), a retro inspired bag (D&G Dolce & Gabbana) and a pair of modern cutout booties (Dolce & Gabbana). Put on a strong-shouldered leather jacket with a snakeskin pattern (Miss Selfridge) and your sharp look is now Biker Chic. //Contradictory




Mix a ruffle front silk blouse (See by Chloé) with a pair of indigo boyfriend jeans (Topshop), a metallic handbag (Tylie Malibu) and patent leather sneakers (Converse). Counterbalance the comfy romantic look with a straight and structured peaked shoulder jacket in black (Sportmax) and create a Classic Edge. //Balancing

A midnight rocker look consisting of black stretch leather leggings (Vanessa Bruno), an oversized sequin tank (Sass and Bide) and studded peeptoe shoe boots (Steve Madden) is made complete with a relevant starry tuxedo jacket (Markus Lupfer). //Matching

This fall, the power jacket is the master of outerwear. Structured, with simple lines, Balmain-inspired strong shoulders and full of character, the jacket has become a trend in itself.

Be it outerwear, blouses, jewelry or accessories, the pre-fall mood is powerful, retro and playful in one. Inspired by various decades and evoking pure nostalgia, heritage chic is a true statement of uniqueness and versatility that can be seamlessly applied to the modern world. When mixed with minimalistic fashion pieces, the character of this style comes to life. Expect this trend to stay strong for the rest of the Autumn Winter season and make it yours by having fun and experimenting with it.

It seems that the "I-just-borrowed-it-from-my-boyfriend-and-went-out-the-door" mood is everywhere. Boyfriend jeans, shirts and even shoes are now a constant in the shops, but are they as easy to adapt to the rest of your wardrobe as they seem?

Even when the trend has been named after men, the true size and fit on you should never be overlooked. The sure choice of the pack? A long and straight-fitting black blazer made out of supple fabric such as this one by McQ will make your outfit effortlessly elegant and on-trend.

Best of all, a classic black boyfriend blazer will take you seamlessly from summer to fall and forward without succumbing with the trend when the word "boyfriend" is no longer attached to it.

Opinions on harem pants have been divided ever since they made their appearance on the fashion runways a few seasons ago. Other terms you might have heard include zoave, lungi, jodhphur, dhoti and peg pants (half harem pant). Whether you consider them a must-have fashion item or view them as an unwanted eighties remnant, the truth is that harem pants are much harder to look good in than a common trouser.

Their different aesthetic make them a strong statement on their own, so the rest of the outfit should be chosen carefully. Black non-shiny harem pants are the best choice as they don't stand out as much and will not widen your silhouette as easily. Choose lightweight fabrics that drape elegantly and naturally as well as a drop-crotch that is not too low. Below, we present you with a few proven options that will help you make the harem pants look flattering: a cropped or fitted jacket, a well-fitting non-slouchy top (a sleeveless style provides more balance) and a pair of strappy or feminine sandals (heels work much better than flats as they will elongate you).

Inherently ultra comfy and slick, not to mention extremely on-trend for the rest of the year, once you find a pair of harem pants that fits you well and the right pieces that seamlessly complement them, it will be hard to let them go.

Black and white have proven to be permanent fashion statements. However, as seasons go by, new hues surge as true alternatives to what we already love and know. Cream, pale rose, light peach, beige, ecru, off-white and their derivatives have become more than neutrals, nudes have become the new white. When paired with black, the result is so chic and natural that white is left out of the picture.

Be it for easygoing or elegant outfits, the new white is so simple to carry off that it will become your new fashion ally. White will not stop being a classic, but a less stark, fresher and equally effective alternative is here to stay.

A denim jacket doesn't have to be predictable and uninspiring to be worn with everything. Structured, full of character and body-conscious are required attributes for any piece you plan to wear constantly. Mango's Denim Jacket represents this entirely by giving a contemporary edge to a well-known garment. This might even be considered a simpler denim version of the trophy jacket, one that is able to speak for a whole outfit.

While the distressed and stonewash look might whisper 80s, this jacket has been designed to create a style that belongs only in the 21st century.

Flowers have been an eternal form of expressing our most natural side. A way of coming back to one's roots, of making a pause in an ever hectic world, of breathing new life. This season, a touch of the past has been added to the mix resulting in a nostalgic and fresh interpretation of spring. This trend is a pleasure to pair with more modern styles or keep organic when choosing neutral pieces that make the floral pattern come to life by standing out.

This is the best of two worlds united in one exciting fashion trend.
