5 Fall Trends You Can Safely Avoid

August 31, 2013 Leave a Comment

As I look ahead to fall and think about the trends I want to try, I cannot help but stumble across a few that I think are a little wacky and probably not best suited for practical daily life.

What is so great about fashion though?

That designers are always looking to push the limits and define unique styles both for clothes, as well as hair/make up. It is this drive to discover something new that keeps myself and the public so very interested in the happenings of spectacle events such as New York, London, Milan or Paris Fashion Weeks. The fashion industry, and women in general, crave these shows because they are sure to capture our attention (and envy) with beauty and design.

It’s a fact: you have to take risks.

And, designers are the very best at taking chances to set themselves apart. Of course, some risks pay off more than others. With New York Fashion Week just around the corner to debut the latest spring collections, let’s review of a few fashion risks from the fall runways you might choose to (politely) pass on.  

5 Fall Trends To Avoid

Band of Outsiders Fall 2013 RTW
 

Fall Trend to Avoid #1: Brown Face!

At the Band of Outsiders, models presented the new collection with an interesting new look in makeup, that might not be as flattering off the runway as on.

Each model’s eyes and forehead were shaded brown. While this may be a great way to conceal any unwanted blemishes, you would probably earn a strange look or two if you showed up to work looking like this. Well, unless you work for Band of Outsiders of course ๐Ÿ™‚

Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 RTW
 

Fall Trend to Avoid #2: The Pajama Game!

Who knew Marc Jacobs shares a love for classic Doris Day movies and slumber parties like me! I mean, what’s more comfortable than lounging around in your pajamas all day? Dare I say, nothing? So perhaps this trend isn’t so awful as it is genius. The Marc Jacobs Fall collection had a line of pajama day-wear.

Putting comfort before anything else, pajama fashion would be as equally awkward for the viewer as it would be deliciously comfortable for the wearer. Actually, the more that I think about it, the more I really love this idea. I say lose the heals and go full force with some fluffy slippers! Bring it on Marc Jacobs!


All Trend to Avoid #3: Rainbow Bright

When flipping through the Fall Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture show, I was taken back in time to the simpler days of the 80s. Fondly remembering Rainbow Bright’s style, there were a series of these editorial dresses that definitely test your imagination. This eclectic style is certainly memorable, but perhaps not too practical for day-to-day wear. I suggest only bringing this one out for very special occasions ๐Ÿ˜‰

Fendi Fall 2013 RTW

Fall Trend to Avoid #4: Technicolor Fur

Fendi’s fall collection was very focused on fur, which isn’t too unusual for an autumn/winter collection. What was unique about their styling was the coloring of this fur, as well as its placement.

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of fur, but I have accepted its place in fashion and merely choose not to wear it. I do think, however, as a rule fur looks its best when kept in its natural state and not dyed in neon pink or electric blue hues.

Fendi Fall 2013 RTW

But fur coats aside, the headpieces worn by each model were a touch too odd. I appreciate the warmth they would provide to the female scalp but question the broad appeal. I’m kind of guessing this trend won’t put ear muffs out of business any time soon.

Altuzarra Fall 2013


Fall Trend to Avoid #5: Have You Lost Weight?
 

Altuzarra sure knows the way to a woman’s heart. If you don’t have the perfect figure, so what? Just sketch it in!

Actually I really do like this trend. The reason I didn’t like Altuzarra’s particular approach is because rather than an optical illusion, I’m reminded of the cheap beach t-shirts featuring a body dressed in a skimpy bikini, (example). So this isn’t so much a bad trend, but a slight execution problem.

Her figure does look fabulous, though, doesn’t it?!

 

 

Note: All photos credited to the lovely Vogue. Also, please take this to be tongue-in-cheek, as it was meant that way. I love all of the above designers.


Stay stylish and chase your dreams!

Honestly, I thought the winter weather would be a turnoff but it somehow is invigorating!! โ„๏ธThe Peloton app has indoor classes too in cycling, treadmill, HIIT, yoga and strength. They are on demand at varying lengths and feature fantastic soundtracks and inspiring coaches. If like me you miss the gym experience, itโ€™s a great alternative while we workout at home.
10/10 would recommend!

How have you been maintaining your workouts during COVID?? ๐Ÿ‘€

Clinging to the victory of what so many fought for Clinging to the victory of what so many fought for in the 2020 election right now!! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 

People from all walks of life united in numbers they never have before to steer our country in a better direction. Conversations amongst volunteers and voters took place not in person โ€” but from the safety of their homes as they connected during a pandemic over countless Zoom meet-ups, text messages and phone calls. And the great State of Georgia too rose in record numbers to change the course of a congressional system that has been broken for far too long. 

Through all of the challenges weโ€™ve seen over the last several weeks but especially the last 48 hours, it is clear there is much work to be done. 

But let the words of Ruth Bader Ginsberg remind us all the โ€œReal change, enduring change, happens ONE step at a time.โ€ 

Hereโ€™s to taking many more steps, peacefully, together! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
