Front emphasis in dresses replaces bulky backs, and coats feature wide skirts and bloused backs. Soft hats replace tall Robin Hood styles as draped sleeves and rich Renaissance colors redefine fall wardrobes.
The era shifts from one-heel, single-color footwear to varied styles. Sports shoes adopt British and peasant vibes with low or very low heels and rich browns greens and reds. Afternoon wear favors crepe suede and kid skins matching dresses, while evening sandals grow in popularity with pointed toes, no heels, and jeweled accents. Square toe styles appeal to the younger crowd.
