FALL 17 TREND REVIEW – LGFG Fashion House

Yes, the season has once again changed. They do tend to change even faster when you get older, don’t they? So yes – Fall is here and it’s bringing some new trends with it. September is the most important issue of the fashion magazines. Everything feels new in September. People are getting ready for school and work again. And many like to gift themselves with something new so the change to the more serious season will feel less dreadful and more exciting. For ladies it can be a new pair of shoes or a purse. And for guys it could easily be a new suit – perfect!

Although this blog post isn’t going to be entirely about suits. We will write about some new and interesting fashion trends that are IN this Fall. And maybe these patterns and colours will give you some great inspiration for something new as well?

* Quilts

Well, we hardly see quilted suits, but believe it or not – it exists and was seen on the runway! Nevertheless we are not here to recommend this as a viable option, although it could feel warm in the Winter, but not sure how your boss at the office would like it; however, a quilted gilet under your jacket or a coat is a perfect way to keep warm.

* Tie

Have ties ever been out of fashion? It seems they have because big fashion magazines and designers are all screaming that ties are back! When was the last time you’ve replenished your ties – or are you still looking like you’re “TV dad”? A big trend we’re seeing in-house are animal themes; ducks, dogs, cats and all sort of fun ties can still look like a serious statement- and why not let people know you’re not (always) boring!

PRADA

BALENCIAGA

 

* Wide suits

Slim fit suits are once again cycling out when it comes to what we’re seeing on the runways. Yeah, that is something that not everyone likes but on the runways we’re noticing the blazers with wide shoulders (kind of a Miami Vice vibe) and wide pants. See for yourself and we recommend you to choose your suit style the way you prefer not the way current trends suggest.

VETEMENTS

 

* Knits with suit trousers

Yes there is nothing new to this combo, it’s very practical when you have cold winters. Most of us (who don’t spend our Winters on the Caribbean) have a season for this, but there’s also a twist in this trend. During the summer it was all about t-shirts with slogans – whether you were promoting the brand you like or it was your opinion about politics – messages with slogans were in. And now for the colder season these messages have moved to your sweaters! You could see the messages of the runways of Valentino, Dior, Raf Simmons and many more…probably not an appropriate office look, but nonetheless we’ve taken note for the casual days.

VALENTINO

 

* Orange

We are not talking about the fruits but hey – it’s a good reminder to get all your vitamins for the Fall! But we are here to discuss fashion and well, orange is in fashion right now, and we are more than happy about it. Let’s not be one of those boring persons who only wear black, grey and beige during the darker seasons. Let’s keep a little summer in our outfits. If you are not fond of being head to toe orange why not just orange-up your details? An orange tie perhaps? Or a handkerchief? Or even the strap of your watch or belt? Surprise yourself and try something different this Fall! Because as the TV show already stated: “Orange IS the new black”.

GIVENCHY

PRADA

 

* Double breasted suit

Double the buttons – double the fun! Double breasted suits were already coming back to trend on the last seasons and they are still here and they are strong! Yes, feel that 80s vibe with those broad shoulders! Or consider a double-breasted jacket. It’s not only coming back, but it’s a strong statement about your personal power; there’s just that “something” when you put a double breasted jacket on.
