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.

Earrings have moved front and center for the fall 2015 season. Gone are the days of the stacked bracelets, aka “arm party;” and while the long necklace is enjoying a moment in the sun, earrings are the hot ticket in jewelry for fall 2015.

In the 1980’s, stud earrings were all the rage. As a part of the stud earring trend, designers added earring jackets to the backs of studs in order to make them more versatile; and give dangle earring fanatics something to wear!

Earring jackets have been crawling back into style over the past few seasons, and designers have taken to the trend, which started on the street, for fall 2015. This is the season of the earring jacket.

Earring jackets for fall 2015 are being shown in short style which hover around 1/4 inch from the bottom of the ear lobe. While some styles offer an inch or more of a drop, the majority of earring jacket styles for fall 2015 are staying close to the ear. I absolutely love this trend. Earring jackets are so easy to wear on a daily basis. I love also love this style since it can be worn day into evening. Versatility = love!

Designer are showing earring jackets in four metal colors for fall including silver, gold, rose gold, and black. Embellishments includes sparkling CZ’s, or similar materials, and imitation gemstones.

Another huge trend in earrings for fall 2015 is the ear crawler. This style has also been around for a few seasons and is enjoying popularity for the fall season. Look for ear crawlers in silver and gold for fall with sparkling embellishments.

If you want to rock the original earring jacket trend from the 1980’s, check out your Mother’s jewelry box for a stray pair or two from the ’80’s. Chances are, she kept a pair! Also, vintage shops should have a few pairs in stock. When shopping for vintage jewelry, make sure the metal-tone has not worn off the edges, and all stones are secure. Also, look for silver stamps or designer markings. This will help you determine the quality.
