 As in previous seasons, there is an overwhelming interest in retro styles for this fall. We can expect to see many trends from previous decades come back into style, with a vengeance. For some reason, consumers have shown more interest in past styles than the new, innovative styles created by the designers themselves.
For the most part, the popular styles expected for fall are synonymous with those of the 1970's and 1980's. There are mixed opinions regarding the recent interest in these styles; some people love the retro look and others detest it.
Leggings are one trend that has re-appeared on the fashion scene and has become focal points in many of the designer collections this year. Today's leggings come in bold colors, playful patterns and cool textures. They are popular with tall boots, under miniskirts, long tops and jackets, shorts and capris and even dresses.
Wearing leggings with a sweater or tunic is one trend with proven staying power. Wear a long top that hits just below your butt to strike the perfect balance between casual and cool.
Wear a patterned legging under a short pencil skirt for an understated chic and feminine look.
The newest evening leg is all about shimmer. Instead of fishnets, why not try the latest in tights with a bit of sparkle. For casual wear, wear sporty leggings in place of sweats or cargos. They are just as sporty and slim your silhouette. Or try tone-on-tone textured leggings under cropped pants or skirts. This year you will find leggings in deep, jewel tones like plum, teal and emerald. Match the tights to one color from your dress or skirt.
With bold colors, new patterns and cool textures, a great pair of tights can pull any outfit together; from casual to evening. And your legs will thank you for them.
