Top Fall Trends 2017 {Insider Tips from GTD Image Consulting}

Is your “Fashion Sense” tingling? Mine is, although the recent heatwave we’ve been experiencing is certainly throwing it off! Fall is a favorite time of year for me. The weather becomes crisp and out come the boots, coats and accessories! I always find cold-weather (or what we consider cold here in Los Angeles) is more exciting because of the different layers and the way the same pair of jeans can look different with boots rather than sandals. GTD Image Consulting helps you to make confident choices when adding to your wardrobe or putting outfits together at any time of the year, no matter the temperature!

Below is my shopping guide for the top 2017 Fall Trends:

Plaid – This classic pattern can easily be mixed into your existing wardrobe. Perhaps there may be a thread of color in the pattern, which you can match with a piece you may already have in your closet. A plaid blazer or a pair of plaid pants go perfectly with a simple black shirt or turtleneck.

Gap Pintuck Plaid Shirt

St. John Plaid Skirt

Velvet – Velvet has always been a fall staple but this year it’s all about this luxurious fabric in vibrant jewel tones. You will want these striking colors and material to be the focus of your outfit, keeping everything else simple and neutral.

Free People Velvet Shirt

Old Navy Velvet Cigarette Pants

Brocade Booties – This season, we see a welcome update to our “go-with-everything” booties. Swap out your leather or suede pair for ones in velvet or satin brocade with a floral design. Your new shoes can be just the flair you needed for any outfit. Buy now, thank me later!

Manolo Blahnik Booties

Sam Edelman Booties

Shelleys of London Bootie

Key Jewelry– Yes, that’s right. The new trend is wearing keys as accessories, which is fun and really accessible. These aren’t your everyday house keys strung on a ribbon though, these keys are glammed up with jewels or made into statement necklaces and bracelets.

Faux Fur Coats – Faux fur is a top trend this fall and is very easily mistaken for the real thing. Never been into fur? These options are a great alternative! Buy these coats in any classic silhouette, keeping the colors neutral or muted so that you don’t end up looking like a Muppet! There are some crazy patterns out there so beware!
