Fashion Finds ... New Coat Silhouette for Fall/Winter 2012/13

This fall our coats will get longer and wider, hiding our real shape.  Also, important feature is that the cut become more masculine and without visible fastening.  However, bright colors will help to uplift the winter moods.  I like this silhouette a lot, like anything that I can wear with effortlessness.  What do you think about this new trend?

Fashion Finds ... High Turtlenecks for Fall/Winter 2012/13

High - necked sweaters were very popular in the 70th, and this Fall/Winter season they are back. My favorite is the black turtleneck with short sleeves worn with long gloves from DSquared2, but other options are pretty interesting too.  This trend even spreads out to evening gowns.  Something for everybody.

Tribal Trend for Fall/Winter 2012/13... Knits Included

I always loved knits for its comfy and chic feel.  Modern knits are very different from our grandma sweaters, and I am very happy that knitwear is making huge comeback.  Even more interesting modern knits  with tribal twist.  Since tribal trend is very popular this coming winter season, basic geometric shapes is perfect for knits.  Here are my picks from tribal trend, knits included.

Must Have for WF 2012/13... Black Coat

The color BLACK is know for its practicality, but I do not think this is the only reason why black is always in.  This color flatters the most and is never casual.  Black is the color of profoundness and intensity, it suggests strength and tenacity.  No wonder that the black coat is a MUST for the Fall/Winter 2012/13 and forever.  I cannot imagine more practical investment piece than THE BLACK COAT.  Here are some examples:

Flowers Are Not Only for Summer Anymore ... Fashion Fall 2012/13

We live in times when many hard lines disappear.  Let's take fashion, for example.  We used to have hard rules on when we can wear white colors, not anymore.  The same with floral design.  Floral trend is not new.  Yes, it is true that it became popular again after being neglected for many years, but it is not new.  We had floral craze before.  What new is that now floral dresses proposed for Fall/Winter Season.  Important to notice that this flower trend is all about LARGE flowers.  I always loved contrasts, juxtapositions, and this is exactly why I like this new trend.  I think this would be great wearing something that is not expected for the season.  Never boring.

Are you planning on wearing floral this fall/winter season?
