We want your opinion, what should we wear this fall?


What are the hottest trends for fall?
A fashion writer asked us that question and while thinking about the answer, I wondered, what do the magazines say the hottest trends this fall are, and what are people really wearing? So I though I would ask you, the people who are actually buying and wearing these trends, what do you think this falls hottest looks are? Please post comments and photos.

These are the wearable trends we came up with...
1. Red accents- nothing breaks up the mundane like red. Add red pumps or a red bag to any outfit for a splash of color and trendiness.
2. Belts- this new "it" accessory this fall is a fabulous belt. Back-in-style.com has a variety of unique and interest belts. Wear a wide one cinched around you want with your tunic and leggings for a flattering fitted silhouette. Since Mod is back, any patent leather belt will look great. Reptile skin adds great texture to any outfit, and metallic leathers add a little shine and sparkle without being to girly.
3. Pumps- the 80s pump is the sex symbol for fall. Make sure you wear them either with skirts/dresses or skinny jeans. They will disappear under wide legs.
4. Gold chains- In any length of size, gold is in. Go 80s style with chunky bold necklaces. Or 20s with long layered necklaces. Which ever you choose, make sure it is gold
5. Boots- this one is a no brainer, it is fall, or course boots are in! Back-in-style.com has some very affordable unique styles in equestrian, cowboy or polished cosmopolitan.
6. Bright Leather Bags- whether large or small, bright colored leather is the material of choice for fall. Big slouchy bags allow you to put in an extra sweater just in case, but cute structured purses look polished and put together. It is your choice.
7. Hints of metallic, metals and hardware. Just a little bit goes a long way here. Grab one piece that is metallic or has metal details. A gold belt, or a handbag with bold hardware, or shoes with studs and buckles.
8. Vintage belt buckles- there is no better way to add uniqueness and interest to your outfit than a vintage belt buckle (especially since belts are so popular now). It is also an easy way to accessorize jean and a t-shirt. Just add a great belt buckle and suddenly your run of the mill outfit is transformed to something cute and trendy.
9. Crystal necklaces- Put away your pearls and put on the crystals. Crystals are the new pearls, especially when it comes to necklaces. Still girly and proper, but way more fun!
10. Snake skin- exotic and fun, this will spice up any outfit. Feel free to mix textured. Snake skin toughens up a girls chiffon blouse, and works well with graphic prints. Wear a metallic snake belt, or a red snake skin bag, and combine two trends in one.
