The PICKS

 

RED is hot for Fall/Winter 2023, and shoes are no exception. For a punch of color, why not pick up a red sneaker? They add a great pop and look very on-trend while being super comfortable. Pair them with jeans, casual dresses, or trousers for a great look.

 

Taking us back to the 80s, Culottes and Gauchos are back! These can be worn now with flats, then with tall boots for Winter. Their natural A-line shape is flattering on most shapes, so pick a pair in a bright color or a neutral and enjoy the flashback.

 

Faux Exotics are the look for bags this season. Faux crocodile or snake in a nice rich color will be a stunning look this Fall. We are seeing the look in both shoulder bags and traditional two-handled arm bags.

 

The PASSES

 

Let those thongs go! PSSST….WE CAN SEE THEM. For a smooth look, choose a modern brief with no rise leg openings.

 

Acid wash is officially OUT. Choose denim in rich blue tones or a colorful hue from your palette for the most modern look. Dark denim can also be dressier and more slimming.

 

Matchy-match jewelry is out. At the max, choose two pieces in a collection, but throw in a third that coordinates. This is a more modern take and shows that you know how to mix and match.

I cannot wait to hear your thoughts!  Until next month,
