Since the “ber” season started roughly about two months ago, the weather is getting cooler and the days are now shorter. This can only mean two things: say goodbye to tropical beach fashion and hello to a new wardrobe.
Liz Claiborne is bringing cool new trends to spice up the chilly season with new designs that are sure to keep you warm and in style for fall. Perhaps this is the perfect time to show your taste in exquisitely selected outfits or find your own flair with chic separates.
There are five top looks for this season, according to Liz Claiborne: Choose chic dresses with clean lines. Neutrals go well if accented with pops of color. For a classic feel, go for tailored designs in menswear fabrics. Add new tricks with textures like velvet. Then, opt for fresh silhouettes with lightweight sweater jackets.
Since the heritage of Liz Claiborne is high-quality and versatile clothing, expect a fresh take on fashion with modern but timeless pieces. There is a spirited mix of shapes with classic lines. Luxurious fabrics include sophisticated soft wool embellished dresses. Sweaters are paired with cords and easy denim.
The key for silhouettes is simplicity. Tailoring and new proportions are important for A-line, voluminous dresses, shifts, trapeze sweaters, cropped jackets and topper coats paired with skinny pants or slouchy trousers. To achieve a longer look, use a belt and define the waist. Cashmere is the way to keep warm — choose from sleeveless tops, split-neck and even cardigan styles.
Color can be a mixture of sorts. All shades of gray and taupe are important, highlighted by flashes of green, yellow, teal, coral and orange. In order to stand out, there are brilliant shades of bright cobalt, emerald green and amethyst grounded in gorgeous grays, blacks and whites. Oh, the classic cream color is paired with shimmering silver for a fresh new look.
Perfect for the holiday season is the combination of luxurious textures and shine. There’s a breezy silk faille, soft cashmere and gauzy lightweight wool paired with patent leather.
Details of Liz Claiborne’s new collection focus on pleats, belts and beading coupled with exaggerated prints that make a bold statement for the season’s best looks. After all, the magic is in the mix by pairing dark against light and shiny with matte.
For the boardroom diva or the weekend warrior, these hot little items are tailor-made to mix and match, letting you find your own combination — perfect for women who want to shine for the holidays.
