As you probably know by now the “athleisure” trend has kept growing and it is NOT going anywhere. In fact it’s evolving. Now by athleisure we don’t mean running around town in your Lululemons (which we do sometimes ourselves) but actually constructing an outfit that’s casual, yet pulled together.
Need Supply Co. has become one of my favorite shopping sites because their clothes are unbelievably my style. I love minimalism and modern lines and they curate some of the best styles I have ever seen in one store/site. They are also really smart because they carry items for both men and women that range from fairly inexpensive to OK, a little more than I wanted to spend, but not crazy. I have ordered quite a few pieces (mostly summer) from their online store so I am really excited they are having their yearly friends and family 25% off sitewide promotion right now!
Forget orange! Brown is the new black. Brown isn’t exactly my favorite color either. I get it. However, I hate to break it to you, brown is the new “It” color for fall ’16. Instead of reaching for your go-to black this season, why not try to add some brown to your rotation of boots, bags, coats or even tops? Now don’t just think chocolate brown will cut it. This brown has a bit more camel or orange to it. Look for colors like potter’s clay, cognac, amber, English saddle, whiskey and cinnamon stick
As our dear editor Jacqueline Zenn recently discussed the Pantone colors for Fall ’16 (read What To Wear Now: The Fall 2016 Pantone Colors). The Pantone Color Institute has been accurately predicting colors for spring and fall for years and one color they predicted and I’m obsessed with for this season is Riverside Blue. I already own several items and can not get enough of it. In fact, I need more. It has become my signature color, but I’ll let you borrow it too
Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice! OK, if I saw someone wearing a black and white striped suit that is what I would think, but done correctly black and white stripes are irresistible. Let’s be honest, prison uniforms are now orange so there is no risk of looking like you dug yourself out of a tunnel
