FALL FASHION TREND: MAD FOR MOTO JACKETS

As the temperatures drop, the MOTO Jacket is a must have fall fashion trend.  This motorcycle jacket can be dressed up for an elegant evening out event to add some fashion and edge, or keep it trendy and cool for a casual look.  Fall's GEMSTONE Colors such as emerald green, burgundy, and cobalt blue grab your eye and take a leather jacket to a whole new fashion level.  Basic black is always on trend but look for texture and embellishment to make your look POP!  Men, go for a stream-lined small collar and fit for a trendy, dressier look.  Opt for a cropped with large lapels, zippers, and studs for a hipster, edgy vibe.

FASHION PREVIEW: ANIMAL PRINTS IN NEW WAYS

Animal print is a a luxurious trend for fall.  But this season is about intermixing your animal print pieces in with other trends, such as leather, lace, and moto.  For fit the rule is if you go tight on bottom, go chunkier or loose on top.  This gives it a flirty, trendy edge.

 Mix animal prints in with fall's bold colors to pack a punch.  This sheer top looks trendy with a leather pencil skirt, leather skinnies pants, or denim and shoe booties.  Finish off your look with a large statement necklace.

This skirt pops with its bold animal print.  Pair with a silk deep colored t-shirt for now in burgundy or deep purple.  Add a cropped blazer or cropped leather jacket as the temperatures cool.  Gladiator sandals now and transition to shoe booties or spiked heels for fall.
 

Add some sizzle to your look with Animal Print heels, boots, smoking slippers, shoe booties, and flats.  Intermix various animal prints for a fashion-forward look!
