Trends from the runway decoded

Do you ever ask yourself what exactly is a neutral? Or are you just curious to find out what the celebrities (and you can too) are going to wear this season? Then read on.

For the girls:

Neutrals and fall colors (for example: red, brown, yellow, orange are fall colors and all shades of brown, black and grey are the most common neutrals)

Faux Fur in hats, vests, coats and all over, though that’s not conducive to Milledgeville

Shearling (Leather with what looks like sheep’s wool) in coats and bags

Leather hats, skirts, shirts and boots, but not all together

Menswear (suit jackets, oxford shoes and vests), keep it feminine with lace

Velvet dresses and tops

Lady-like skirts and dresses (think Mad Men and other 50’s and 40’s styles)

Camel (not the animal), a beautiful brown-like color that is most often found in camel hair coats, which yes are made from real camel hair, but the cheaper versions are faux

Curves (embrace yourself the way you are because designers recognized this season that not everyone is a size zero)

For the men:

Military style (not camouflage, but the classic bomber jacket or army jacket is fitting)

Velvet (try a understated velvet suit jacket if you’re bold)

Suits (either tight or loose, but still well fitting)

For everyday wear most men will agree this is a little over the top so stick to the old stand-bys, plaid, fleece shirts and jeans.
