Greetings Gentle Readers,
As the air becomes a bit more crisp, the sun sets a little earlier, and the leaves begin to change... we all know it can only mean one thing! Fall is awfully close (in some places, it's already there)... Now, some of you may long for those hot and steamy days of summer gone by... but not us. We love fall, it's our favorite season (followed closely by spring), especially sartorially. In the coming weeks, we'll be coming to you with our fall essentials and tips for staying Sartorially Savvy as the season shifts.
This time around, we'll be covering 3 of our fall favorites in 3 different forms: garment, accessory, and color. Let's take it from the top!
Fall Essentials
Round 1
Round 1
Blazers: The classic essential works for both genders year 'round, but is particularly pertinent in the autumn as an easy and always stylish layering piece. You can't go wrong with a notch lapel, mid-stance, two button blazer (for other options, check back for the advanced course soon) You can play with color, pattern, and texture in your blazers. Jewel tones, rich saturated colors, classic patterns like herringbone and hounds tooth, and textures like tweed are all distinctly dashing for fall and play well with the tonal changes in the weather. Ladies, to keep an air of femininity, we suggest your blazers being fitted, having feminine accents (such as ruffles or bloused shoulders), or if you rock a "boyfriend" (men's fitting) blazer, make sure your other pieces are fitted and amp up the shoes and accessories for added sex appeal.
Scarves: Fall is optimal time to break out one of our personal favorite accessories: scarves. Scarves are a great way to accent any ensemble, and provide that bit of extra warmth on a chilly morning commute, or a weekend walk through the park. The perfect scarf provides that premium pinch of panache to any ensemble. Scarves are also a great way to show your personality by add a pop of color, pattern, and texture and in the way you wear them; be it looped around your neck (as pictured) knotted, or draped over your shoulders. A great designer scarf (such as the one pictured) also adds an air of luxury and polish to ensembles. We love our scarves in cashmere, not only for the look, but for the uber soft and warm feel. But wool and cashmere blends are a great way to get the feel, but keep the price point down. Your scarves should always be complementary to what you're wearing, whether they blend in or contrast with the ensemble. Have fun w/scarves! You pretty much have carte' blanche!
Hunter Green: Taking our cue from the photo featured in this entry, brings us to one of our favorite colors for fall. Hunter green is one of the few colors in the palette that is flattering on every skin tone. it is particularly complementary to caramel, butterscotch, and chocolate. Hunter green is one of those colors that immediately evokes a sense of fall... perhaps it's because hunter green is close to pine... Greens usually evoke a sense of nature, the brighter hues tend to lend themselves to spring/summer, and deeper, richer tones lend themselves to fall and winter. Hunter green plays right into this, it's an extremely warm tone. In the photo, the blazer is hunter green, but, the ensemble would have worked if the shirt was instead. Hunter green sweaters, button downs and blazers work for both genders and ladies can use the color effectively and w/sex appeal in pencil skirts, and bags.
That about wraps up the 1st installment of the Fall Essentials. Stay tuned for next time when we bring you more of our faves and tell you how to rock them in your wardrobe! Until then we remain...
