Some Alternative Style Choices for Autumn 2017

Autumn season is always an interesting time of the year, especially when it comes to fashion. There is always a lot going on as designers switch from floaty, thin warm weather items of clothing to thicker, heavier winter clothes.

Each year brings new and interesting trends, and 2017 is no exception. If you are looking for something bright and beautiful, there are loads of great options. Here are some of my favourites…

Get Your Boots On

When it comes to women’s boots, there is a huge amount of choice available. This year, I suspect that most people will be wearing boots rather than other styles of footwear.

Disco Ball Boots Anyone

If you are looking to stand out from the crowd a pair of Disco Ball boots is the way to go. These beautiful glittery style boots are surprisingly versatile. They look especially good paired with the right black, red or purple dress. You can also wear them with jeans, as well as for parties.

However, if you do this you need to bear in mind that they are likely to shed some of their glitter. So, if they are an essential component of your favourite party outfit, it is better to keep them in the wardrobe and only wear them occasionally.

Shiny Gold Lame Dresses

This season, designers have definitely fallen in love with shiny fabrics. There are some great-looking gold lame dresses available. If gold is not your colour, do not worry, because there are plenty of shiny silver dresses, skirts and tops to choose from.

Stunning Knitwear

For many years, knitwear has been a bit out of fashion. This is a real shame because the art of knitting allows you to create virtually any pattern or style of clothing.

A Great Alternative to a Traditional Coat

One of the most interesting items of knitwear I have seen is the coatigan. It looks like a long coat, but because it is knitted it could also be described as an extremely long cardigan. Potentially you can wear it over jeans, but it could just as easily be worn over a suit or as an alternative to a house coat. However, they are smart enough to wear over a suit or dress for your commute to work.

It is important to buy one that is well made and from a durable mix. A bouclé style fabric made from manmade fibres will keep its shape better than one made from wool in a more traditional knit.

Interesting Prints

These days clothing manufacturers have access to cutting edge print techniques. This has enabled them to create new and surprisingly different effects.

Printed Denim

Taking denim and printing a pattern on it produces really interesting results. This year, look out for Jacquard and paisley patterned jeans. They look great and go with a surprising array of different tops.

Print Tops

This year, there is an amazing array of different print tops to choose from. Modern fashion designers are using them in innovative ways in new printed fabrics to produce truly fresh looking tops, blouses and t-shirts.
