How to Wear Fall Fashions

During each runway season, there are dozens of new styles that look amazing, but it's sometimes hard to figure out how to turn it into an everyday wardrobe option. Even though there are some dramatic looks coming out of fashion week every year, there are still many ways you can take your favorite look from the runway and make it appropriate for work or other outing. Designer brands can costs hundreds of dollars, but you can get similar looks at your favorite retail store for a fraction of the price. InStyle Magazine has taken some of the fall fashions and explained how to use them in everyday options.

Knits

Chunky sweaters are a staple of cold winter weather, but when they don't fit properly they can really look sloppy. Look for simple chunky knit sweaters, as styles with puffy sleeves or shapeless middle can add more volume to your shape than you want. Pair a larger sweater with a slim floor-length skirt, skinny jeans or leggings and accentuate the waist by accessorizing with a belt .

Sporty

Unless you are hitting the gym, ultra-sporty looks might not be your style. Since the look has come off the runway, there are a few easy ways to incorporate elements of the style into your look and still appear chic. InStyle Magazine suggests pairing a tee with a pencil skirt to keep the look trendy, but appropriate for various settings. A sweatshirt tee is comfortable and looks great with skirts and pants.

Prints

When you want to step out in something bold, a printed dress or top is a great way to be noticed. If you don't want all of that attention, tone it down with a cardigan in a neutral color. Choose a cardigan in a color that complements the print, and remove the cover-up when you want to take the look from day to night. If you want to incorporate prints subtly into your wardrobe, choose a printed top and pair it with slacks or jeans to balance out the look.

Tomboy

Something is very chic about a woman who wears a sleek pair of trousers, slim blouse and jacket. Embrace the tomboy style from the runway and add some girly touches to keep the look fashionable and appropriate for all occasions. If you want to keep the look neutral during the day, add a statement necklace to the outfit at night to transform the outfit from day to night.

Each of the fall fashion trends are easily altered so you can wear them during any occasion. If you are afraid of going overboard with trends, simply choose a feature or two you like from a particular style and tweak it for your personal look.
