Fall/winter trend update!

So far, we've covered taking inspiration from art, from fashion photos, advertisements, and putting our own spin on particular trends - however, what I find surprising is that I haven't yet covered following haute couture - hot off the runway (seeing as I'm always updating myself)! So the most recent fashion shows have been showing the latest trends for fall/winter and fall ready to wear. SOOOO what's this have to do with you? Well, we're going to profile what's new for fall so that you're one step ahead of the game. Also, what's the harm seeing as stores are already stocking up on the latest fall fashions? Atleast now you'll know what to buy, and how to wear it hijabi style...

TUNICS--

So the first picture from micheal kors collection, and the second is burbery porsum (you can always tell when it's burbery) and I posted it first because it shows off what's hot for fall - and girls you will be happy when I tell you that fall fashion is basically defined with one word - TUNICS!

This first pic above, as you can see, the model is wearing grey head to toe - (erm, should I say neck to toe). DON"T DO THIS, as a hijabi you can't go one color head to toe - especially since you wear a hijab (duhh) and i would bet you would wear a gray hijab as well. IF you are really into that, then i would suggest adding some off color accessories - put in a black belt (or bright pink, it doesn't really matter), or wear darker pants. One way to spice up a tunic (and I've posted on this before) is a thin belt!
The outfit by Burbery can teach us something different than kors' - big goddy necklaces and jewlery! Especially when going with a plain top, unless you're wearing your most sparkly hijab, go with a simple hijab and a huge charm on your necklace! ---Long necklace by the way.

hijabifashionista tip- what's not in for fall (unlike spring/summer and what we're wearing now) are mini dresses, fall is strictly for tunics and that means they shouldn't be any lower than midthigh (at a maximum). If you're going beyond that, you're sporting a mini dress, and don't be surprised if a fellow fashionista tells you that you're SO LAST SEASON!

Fringing, Pattern, and Furs---

First pic: Gucci
Second Pic: Gualtier
Third Pic: Armani

So three more things hot for fall/winter - fringing, patterns, and furs!

We learn from the outfit by Gucci, patterns are still in (just like they were for the summer - remember previous posts) But they may not be as big and bold, rather more folky patterns in deeper colors than the summer's brights.
Gualtier shows us that fur is in, and even so much as to wear a whole coat of it! For me, I do wear leather, but for some reason it wouldn't feel right to wear a real fur coat.. what do you sisters think of the matter?
And finally armani NEVER fails to dissappoint me with the deep make up and a dress I will probably never wear, but always admire. Tassels, a little fringy grunge is again in for fall - one of my favorite looks!


If it wasn't haraam, I would bet all of you will make some good choices while shopping for the fall season!
