October 9th, 2018 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Coats to Pick Up for Fall
When it comes to fall fashion, there is nothing better than finding that perfect coat to keep you warm all season long. Admittedly, it can be easy to just pick up a classic black coat and call it a day. This fall, dare to step out of your fashion comfort zone though and experiment with different colored coats!
Scroll on for 6 coats you should try this fall:
If your goal is to turn heads all day long, choose a coat in a bright and bold color such as orange or red!
Add a dose of style to your 9 to 5 schedule by throwing on a long white coat.
One of our favorite fall trends has been the rise of the plaid coat.
Picking up a classic trench coat is always an obvious choice. For that extra bit of flair, style it with a scarf!
Never underestimate the power of a pink coat to make your outfit look more polished.
Grey coats work perfectly all season long, and they’re the perfect touch for those who love rocking neutral-colored outfits.
October 9th, 2018 by Jennifer Beile Round Up: 5 Fall Instagram Trends
I often turn to Instagram for style inspiration and quick overviews of what’s trending. I follow countless bloggers and street style stars and often categorize the images and outfit “likes” for easy access to ideas, tips, and #OOTD inspo when getting dressed in the morning. With the changing season, new trends have been populating my feed and I’m sharing 5 of the most “liked” Instagram trends for this fall season.
Leopard Skirts + Dresses
The hottest resurgence for fall, leopard print has been one of the top Instagram style trends this season.
Blazers
Blazers are the perfect lightweight second layer for this tricky transitional weather.
Polka Dots
From “delicate and feminine” to “big and bold,” polka dots are taking over Instagram in the form of dresses, blouses, pants, and accessories!
Belt Bags
Belt bags (or the modern version of a fanny pack) have been trending for the past couple of years, and this season the It girls are wearing the convenient hands free bag like a crossbody.
Terracotta
This subdued burnt orange is the perfect mix of bold and chic and is the color of autumn.
October 8th, 2018 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Boots You Need for Fall
If there was a 2018 remake of Dukes of Hazzard, the saying would definitely go, “These boots are made for fall.” It goes without saying that boots are a closet staple when it comes to this season. From low-cut boots to Chelsea boots to heeled boots, there’s a style for everyone to choose from!
We’ve put together a few boots for you need for fall:
For those days where it seems like the rain just won’t stop pouring, you’ll be glad that you invested in a cute pair of rain boot like Blair Eadie from Atlantic Pacific.
As far as we’re concerned, chukka boots can make any outfit look instantly more stylish.
Thank goodness that fall is back because we’ve been waiting to wear over-the-knee boots for the longest time!
It’s time to break all the rules, and wear white boots after Labor Day!
Fashion alert: sock boots are back for the second year in a row!
Finding out how to style a pair of low-cut boots can be hard. Style with edgier details like fishnet stockings to toughen up the look.
October 2nd, 2018 by Jennifer Beile Round Up: 4 Ways to Elevate Plaid This Fall
Plaid for fall is about as groundbreaking as florals for spring. But it’s a classic print that is quintessentially autumnal and somehow reinvented each year with new color palettes, new vibes and moods, and unexpected fabrics and shapes. Don’t just designate plaid to oversize button-down tops and leggings. Instead, take a look at 4 ways to elevate plaid this fall.
1. Plaid Print Mixing
Plaid on plaid is double the fun! To pull off mixing plaid prints, pair contrasting colors and sizes of the print, like Michelle did with her yellow plaid blouse and green plaid suit.
2. Opposites Attract
Style your favorite plaid piece with an unexpected texture like leather or sequins. Bethany takes athleisure to a new level with plaid trousers paired with a sequin hoodie.
3. Go Big With the Print
An exaggerated or stretched plaid in soft colors creates a minimalist look.
4. Suit Up
Undoubtedly the most popular way to elevate plaid this season is with a blazer and/or suit combo.
Of course, there are more than 4 ways to elevate plaid this fall! We’d love to see how you wear it. Share your looks with us on Instagram by tagging us @crossroadstrading.
