Fall Fashion Tips For Men & Women

Fall Fashion for a Polished Image

LADIES

60's and 70's simple glamour is a polished minimalism look for fall:

*The "Mad Men" look is fashion forward in 2010. Simple sheath dresses with a skinny belt, or pencil skirts with a soft blouse and cardigan.

*Accessorize with an animal print short coat, handbag, pointy toe kitten heel shoe, or a skinny belt to update clothes in your closet.

*Camel is the most fashionable color for fall. Add a blazer, skirt or trouser in camel to your wardrobe. It's classic and a great neutral to any color you love.

*Tailored lean pants or leggings paired with a belted jacket or cape and a boot or bootie is a fun trend that is still a polished look.


MEN

Layering is stylish and adds interest:

*Think of layering for a polished, but casual look. Example: a collared shirt under a vest or pullover sweater ups the style factor, and a jacket not only gives warmth but adds structure to your look.

*Add a couple of new ties to your wardrobe for a fall fashion statement like a deep orange or gold. Consider bold colors.

*Versatile tweed sport jacket is a key element to a strong and polished fall wardrobe. It's perfect with jeans or slacks for a professional to dressy look.

*A bolder addition would be to add a velvet jacket or even a jacket with velvet lapels. It's a great look with jeans. It's a touch of simple sophistication.

Executive Women & Men Dressing for Success

I find that many high-powered executive women dress in boxy, unattractive suits that don't best represent who they are or what they do. Suits don't have to look masculine. A woman can dress in a high quality suit or professional look that has great fit, color and style appropriate for what they do, but also for the woman that they are and need to embrace. I think it's a leftover from the executive world being a man's world and some women feel that in order to be taken seriously, they dress in a safe, nearly masculine attire that does not suit them or their body. I've had great success finding a polished, professional look for women that presents power and success while remaining feminine, even sexy. Women enjoy an organized, stress-free closet that I create and the conveniences of a personal shopper.

Additionally, men who are in high-level executive positions don't always find the best look for their body or style. Quality is key. Tailoring is also key in order to present a powerful look. Better to have fewer suits, but ones that have terrific fabric quality, fit, specific tailoring, and color coordinates best suited for a man's coloring and body type, and personal style. Fewer power suits, but many great quality shirts and ties are necessary. Ties are one of very few standout ways that a man can show color and style...hence, power ties. I enjoy assisting a man with a professional look created for his individual position and personality. It can do wonders for a man's presentation and cuts down on stress knowing exactly what to wear and utilizing a personal shopper saves him time.
