Cool Fall Fashion Trends for Moms
For moms, fashion needs to be as functional as it is stylish. With their busy schedules, moms need wardrobe pieces that can easily go from a PTA meeting to a night on the town, without sacrificing style in the process. The following fall wardrobe essentials are must-haves for all moms, and will keep you feeling cool and confident all day long.
Basic Wardrobe Pieces Every Mom Should Own
Fall fashion is all about layering. The following wardrobe pieces are great for layering, and should be found in every woman’s closet:
- Camisoles
Camisoles in basic black or white look great peeping out from under a dressy top. If you like a bolder look, shop for camisoles in bright, eye-catching shades like cranberry or electric blue. For nights out, pair a pretty camisole with a sleek pencil skirt or basic slacks, and add a little flair with bold statement jewelry. - Blazers
Blazers have made a huge comeback in recent years. Look for one that will compliment any body shape by going in at the waist and flaring out a little at the hip. For those with a more daring fashion sense, consider a blazer with sculpted shoulder pads. This fall essential looks great with everything from boyfriend jeans to a little black dress, and is a must-have for fall! - Dark Denim Jeans
No wardrobe is complete without the perfect pair of jeans. A dark denim wash will slim hips and lengthen legs, no matter the cut or style. Skinny jeans are a great choice, as are tapered and wide leg options. Dress up your perfect jeans with heels or flats in a great fall color like mustard or burgundy! - Ballet Flats
As most women know, ballet flats are essential to any wardrobe. Ballet flats look great with virtually everything, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Basic black flats are a wardrobe staple, but bolder colors such as cherry red or gold will spice up any outfit! For the ultimate in comfort and style, check out flats made by Jessica Simpson. - Knee-High Boots
Fall just wouldn’t be the same without a great pair of boots. A low-heeled boot is perfect for casual wear, and looks great paired with skinny jeans or tights. High-heeled varieties also go well with jeans, and can be worn with evening wear as well. - Cardigan Sweaters
Cardigans are perfect cool-weather attire. These sweet little sweaters look best over a basic top and paired with casual slacks or jeans. For the perfect retro look, don’t forget the ballet flats and the strand of pearls! - Form-Flattering Dresses
Every woman needs a perfect dress for every season. This season, look for cuts and fabrics that will keep you warm on those chilly autumn nights. If you like bold patterns, check out great fall dresses in animal print, houndstooth or plaid. If basic colors are more your style, deep greens and rich browns are great color options, as are berry, deep orange and navy. - Leather Bag
Time to put away the summer totes and handbags and trade them in for autumn bags in rich leather! For most moms, a catch-all bag is an everyday essential. Polish your look by choosing a classic bag in a neutral color. Coach bags, for example, come in all styles and sizes to compliment any wardrobe.
