Fall-Winter 2012/13 Fashion Trends!

Let's talk about fashion trends! Some may appeal to your fashion sense, when others may seem obscene to you. But there is always a way for you to take a trend and make it your own, by giving it a touch of your own style.
Following are some of my favorite trends for this Fall-Winter season with some ideas on how you can add them to your daily wardrobe.




One of the most dominant trends for this Fall season is burgundy! This color has taken over and it's seen mostly on skinny jeans. For some it might seem like a tricky color to wear, but you can pair it with earth tones to tone it down. If that is still intimidating for you, you can skip the jeans and wear this color on an accessory like a scarf or a purse. In my opinion burgundy pairs very well with leopard prints (in natural colors) and forest green - these two colors together give such a fall feeling!




Another one of my favorite trends is mixing patterns. Depending on the type, the size and the colors of the prints this trend can be a simple or a very loud statement. But however you decide to wear it, there are two rules that you can follow, to make sure you're not going too far. The first rule is to choose a dominant pattern, on which you'll base your outfit. The other patterns should be smaller and not as loud. The second rule is to choose items in similar colors, to keep the outfit from becoming too confusing for the eye. The most important rule though is to follow your fashion sense and have fun with it!




Leather, studs, spikes and everything rock is a trend that remains since last year. Even for the girlier types there's always a way to add some leather details in an outfit and give a stylish twist. I love to pair tweed jackets with leather leggings... But I love to pair everything with my leather leggings, because they're so versatile! If you don't like the idea of leather leggings, another way to make a statement on this trend is a leather jacket with studded shoulder pads, or - for the less daring - a studded clutch or biker boots.




The most loved (by me at least) trend for this season are chunky sweaters! I want nothing more but to be comfortable when I'm going about my day and there's nothing better for that than a flowy knit sweater! You can pair it with anything you can imagine: jeans, leggings, shorts, mini or maxi skirts... Sometimes you can even wear it as a dress with some tights and knee high boots. Anyway you choose to wear it, this trend will keep you warm and cozy for the fall and winter time.



Whatever trends you choose to follow or not follow, always remember to stay true to your personality and fashion sense. Fashion is not about what you wear, but how you wear it!
