Let’s get patchy for fall! That’s right! The 1970’s trend is back. This means patchwork apparel, and accessories, are hotter than hot for the fall 2015 season. Love that!

Patches are a fun trend for the fall season. They allow you mix and match patterns, colors, and textures you normally would not put together. This trend is not for the matchy-matchy girl!

You can find patches on everything imaginable for fall; or, you can head down to the fabric store, buy a few scraps or remnants, and put a few patches on an old pair of boyfriend jeans, a denim jacket. . .the possibilities are endless! Patches = fun!

Some designers are showing haphazard patches for fall, while others are showing more organized patchwork; such as the dress in the middle of the graphic above. Organized patchwork is fabulous for a casual office atmosphere, or night on the town. Haphazard patchwork is ideal for weekends, and every fun activity you can think of!

I have a vintage blouse from the 1970’s which is patchwork; you can read the story behind it here. I would also love to add one or two denim patchwork pieces to my autumn wardrobe. What do you think of the patchwork trend for fall? Will you patch up?

The flare is back. With the 1970’s influence in fall 2015 fashion, flare pants are proving to be the hottest pant-leg silhouette for the fall 2015.

Designers are showing flares on every pant style imaginable for the fall 2015 season. Flares can be spotted on denim, trousers, leather pants, casual pants, and even lounge-wear. Make no mistake, this is the season of the flare. Love that!

The flare is the comeback style of the season. Flare jeans were hotter than hot in the early 2000’s, and the Millennium trend took it’s cue from the 1970’s. The difference this time around is that flares are being on everything; not just jeans.

I found a few fabulous flare pants around the web, and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Suede is always a popular fabrication when it comes to fall. But for fall 2015, suede plays an important part in the overall vibe of the season. 

Suede was a big part of fashion in the 1970’s. It could be found on skirts, pants, dresses, shoes, and of course, handbags. Since the 1970’s are a big influential decade on 2015 fashion, it is only natural that suede plays a big part in fashion for fall.

Handbags in suede are being shown in every hot style for the season. We are seeing fringe bags in suede, bucket bags made from suede, structured work totes in suede, and every style imaginable! Suede has moved from more casual wear, to everything from the office to an evening gala. Suede is what’s hot for fall!

Of course, not everything has to be natural suede for fall 2015. There are handbags made from ultra-suede, and faux suede. So if you are looking for vegan styles, there is a “suede” out there for you; like this beauty from Jill Milan.
