The cold weather is upon us, and that means it is sweater time! The fall/winter 2013/2014 runways were ripe with chunky and funky cable knit sweaters for the cool weather season. Cable knit sweaters are being shown in every style imaginable from classic fit with long sleeves to short sleeved to asymmetrical to everything in between! This is not the season for a frumpy, body hiding sweater. Cable knit sweaters are flattering for winter 2014 and will definitely show off your personal style. Love that!

Cable knit sweaters for winter 2014 are being shown in timeless neutrals, black, autumn hues, bright colors and metallic shades. This is definitely a trend for every color palette! Since cable knit sweaters are also a classic, cold weather style, this is a great season to stock up on the styles you love.

fall 2013 light navy by bayareafashionista on Polyvore

 

Light navy blue was spotted on the runways for fall/winter 2013/2014 in Paris, Milan, London and New York. This vivid and classic version of navy blue stood out among shades of neutral, burgundy, red and black which dominated the runways.

Designers showed light navy blue on everything including handbags, apparel and shoes. The color was shown tonal as well as paired with other neutrals and autumn hues. Light navy blue looks amazing with black since it has more of a blue tone than dark navy blue which can sometimes be mistaken for black. Light navy blue also looks amazing with winter and holiday color trends which includes reds and pastels.

Light navy blue is a classic hue which is easy for any hair-color or skin tone to wear. This is definitely a great color to invest in for the fall 2013 and winter 2014 seasons. Since light navy blue is normally shown in the spring season, purchasing handbags, shoes or lightweight clothing during the fall/winter 2013/2014 season will prove a worthy investment when the spring 2014 season rolls around. You will already own light navy blue! Love that!

Fall 2013 trends: biker jackets and boots

 in General Fashion / Shoes / Trends  tagged boots / casual fashion / casual style / fall 2013 / jackets / rocker chic / street style trends / winter 2014 by

Biker jackets and biker boots are considered casual classics. Although timeless, the biker trend has taken on new life for the fall 2013 season. Biker jackets and biker boots graced the runways for fall/winter 2013/2014 in New York, Paris, Milan and London. Store buyers and consumers loved the casual, edgy biker look and store shelves have become stocked with the look for the autumn season; and consumers are buying the biker look like mad!

With the rocker chic trend and grunge trend popular in 2013, it is only natural that the biker look, often referred to as the “moto” look, would gain popularity with Fashionistas who do not normally wear such edgy attire. Designers have responded to the trend with biker boots and jackets in multiple colors which stray from traditional black. We are seeing shades of brown, tan and even brighter hues such as blue and pink on biker inspired items.

In addition to traditional biker jackets, designers have created vests, sweater and tops with biker jacket details. Biker boots have found new life with high heel versions of the traditional, casual style. This is bringing the biker look into chicer, dressier waters. Love that!

My favorite biker jacket of the season is by Cusp. I personally own this jacket and feel it is the best value on the market for rocking the biker trend. The sleeves zipper off from the body of the jacket leaving you with a biker vest! It is two jackets in one! The leather is soft and the jacket is cozy. I also love the price especially considering the jacket is also a vest. So much bang for your buck!

Are you wearing the biker trend this fall 2013 season? What are you favorite pieces to wear this season which are in line with the trend?
