Fall fashion centers on rising hemlines and simple silhouettes. Empire and chemise shapes return with flexible waists, creating a free form look. Textures like mohair and matelasse add surface interest while bold color palettes from red to ultraviolets define the season.
The piece surveys coat and suit ensembles for the season, noting fur rims on many coats, three piece outfits with skirt overblouse and jacket options, and the rise of walking coats. It highlights current fashion trends with vivid colors inspired by autumn scenery and precious gems in fabrics and accessories.
Fall outerwear favors shorter topcoats and overcoats that retain warmth. New models include split raglan construction with front set in sleeves and back raglan fit. Styles range from American Ambassador inspired to Balmacaans, Chesterfields, and box coats in lighter yet warm fabrics and new weaves.
Luxurious fabrics for evening outfits feature cut velvet satin lace chiffon brocade and sand lame. Rich textures and patterns suitable for formal attire are highlighted among satin and velvet options.
A fashion note highlights bold plaid patterns for fall footwear. Designers showcase matte finishes and striking color combinations to emphasize a bold statement.
The fall bridal look embraces trapeze silhouettes with empire bodices and flowing backs, detachable overskirts, and uneven hems.
