Autumn Fashion: What You Need to Know

Mention autumn fashion to any female and she will be instantly and wildly excited, for any change of season portends a change of fashion. Even in the days of yore it was fashionable to change from one season to another, but today in our modern world, we can even instantly see what Parisians are wearing, or New Yorkers are wearing in an blink of an eye. The fashion world is our oyster thanks to the Internet and any woman interested in autumn fashion will find that even some of the world's best designers also follow the seasonal changes.

Autumn brings forth the leaves on the trees changing their own colors for us, moving from the greens to the oranges, bright reds and other magnificent colors. Far be it from us to not look to Mother Nature for autumn fashion. Colors change from the lighthearted summer light greens, aquas and even sunny yellows to the more striking reds and oranges that remind us of the wonders of autumn.

Whereas summer might have meant minis that showed off bare legs, now we cover the legs in perhaps skinny jeans that simply elongate your legs to eyebrow raising proportions. Combine a leg-hugging pair of jeans with a high heel and you'll raise even more than eyebrows, as everyone will turn to watch you walk away.

No one ever said that autumn meant drab certainly not Mother Nature, thus do not dress yourself all in black this autumn without adding a splash of color. For instance bright reds, and bright oranges highlight the look you wish to have in ways that are tantalizing as well as ultra-feminine. In fact, you might emphasize your femininity this autumn with a figure hugging long black dress for evenings that has a plunging neckline but is worn with bright red heels and a bright red clutch simply for accent. Makeup? Oh, this type of outfit calls for the brightest red lipstick to match, so that you can carry forth the "femme fatale" look that even movie stars would envy. The newer lash makeup that elongates the lashes to add a sultry look just begs to accompany this type of dress.

Then too for the woman who works nine to five, there are some amazing new fashions coming out this autumn. For instance large print checks are everywhere from Paris to London and New York. Those colors are black and bright red, and the autumn fashion cries out that women have waists this year, thus most of those fashions have belts. You will note that even the coats that are going to be worn this autumn are belted as well. This means that even if you are wearing layers to keep warm, you will still appear ladylike and sexy. Gone are the thick coats that were so in last year making women all look much like frumpy snow bunnies with thick waists. Leave that to the real bunnies that have eaten well getting ready for cooler weather and whose bodies are plump and rounded.

Accentuating curves is more the style this year, and those who actually can show cleavage will rejoice, as many styles for this autumn are lower cut than last year. Not too much cleavage, of course as opposed to last year when some of the evening dresses went down to the navel for those not ashamed of wearing such clothing, but when those were worn, it did not necessarily show cleavage, but rather a rather flat but feminine chest. Now, the "look" is not quite the "Playboy" look of the 60's, but rather calls for a bosom this year.

As for hemlines, the look is still below the knee. Look, for instance, for pencil skirts that again emphasize the fact that it is on a lady with some curves, as the waist is definitely nipped in. Worn with an oversized belt, the waist is even further accentuated. A leather pencil skirt calls for a soft white long sleeved blouse that is open at the neck, again to show off some cleavage.

Showing off cleavage this year is in as you may have surmised, but also the jewelry you wear should show it off. Longer necklaces that may become lost in the woman's cleavage are definitely in this year, regardless of what the necklace is made of. The combination of a choker and a long necklace is even more attractive and calls even more attention to the woman's chest.

Since women are much more feminine this year, hair will be longer and worn flowing down on the fashions rather than up or chopped off as before. Many a woman will love wearing a long flowing wig to emphasize her own beauty should she have shown off her own hair last year.
