How To Wear 5 Major Fall Trends
Fall predictably brings with it an avalanche of new trends, whether or not the weather is ready for it, making the most minimal wardrobe update kind of daunting. Here, we’ve distilled it down to five biggies, with tips on how to dress around them for in-between climes.
The Victorian Dress
We’re not sure where the rule that you can’t wear white post-Labor Day came from, but we’re definitely sure it’s not actually a real thing. The secret to working a hyper-feminine piece like this is to balance the vintage-inspired elements with modern ones, like a tailored blazer and sleek Chelsea boots.
