This fall there are a multitude of new fashion trends that will make any fashionista happy. From the retro 70’s fashion trend, silky shirts and dresses, wide-leg pants and horizontal stripes, there is something for everyone.
For fall a 70’s fashion trend that joins the ’50s and ’60s trend this season, bringing back a bohemian style and a glamour look for clothing. Bell bottoms are back. High waisted wide-leg pants are belted, matched with silky, sensous blouses. 70’s-inspired retro work day dresses have blousy sleeves with midlength skirts. Metallic shimmery fabrics that drape for evening wear, and slinky gowns with low, plunging necklines are popular now.

Besides the bell bottoms and wide-leg pants you’ll see this season, the sheer maxi dress and pleats are fashion forward. Pleats can be seen in dress and skirt designs, a soft, feminine look that is rumoured to extend to pleated trousers in coming fashion seasons. Feminine dresses with leg slits are also on the scene. The sheer maxi dress is very sheer but can be paired with stylish jackets to keep you warm. Perhaps a floor length duster coat fashionable for this season would do the trick. Peplum vests, blazers, and coats are hot and show off small waists in style. Colors of burnt orange and rust can be found in fall fashions, including coats and jackets.
