Though the weather says otherwise, the retail calendar says it’s fall. So let’s talk fashion!
Fall fashion has always been about boots, and lace-up are the hottest right now. It doesn’t matter if they tie in the front or in the back, are ankle height or mid-calf, or are high-heeled or flat. Just make sure they’ve got laces. Jayne Boutique in La Grange has them all.
Aviators will continue their run as one of the hottest styles in sunglasses, and thanks to Tom Ford, they’ve got a new look, which can be found at Shop 10 in Hinsdale.
Also available at Shop 10 are bucket bags and big bracelets of all different sizes and colors.
The drawstring bucket bag will offer an alternative to the flat crossbody bag. Bracelets will replace necklaces and earrings as the new statement item. Rather than stacking the bracelets up, wear one great cuff, a wide and chunky bracelet or a few heavy bangles. Just don’t wear them all at once!
Plaid will be big this fall, too. But If plaid scares you, try to ease yourself in with an accent piece, first. A plaid scarf would be a good place to start. Clever Girl in Western Springs has this trendy accessory.
