September is the start of the Fall to Winter seasons. We’re transitioning from warm sunny days to cooler days and chilly nights. Depending on where you are, you may be experiencing the cascading of colorful autumn leaves and downfall of snow. With the change in weather and temperature, it is also time for a wardrobe change. Put aside your beach wear, shorts and thin cotton or linen clothing and bring out your knits, sweaters, coats, warmers and boots.
To help you with the fashion transition, we’re rounding up 6 of the best Fall Winter trends and showing you how you can wear them to stay in style for the coming months. Make room in your closets for these up to date pieces.
1. Top-to-bottom White
Get ready for a fresh start after experiencing lockdowns. What better way than to go all white from head-to-toe? The freshness and cleanliness the color evokes is timely for a post-quarantine debut into society. Make a statement in an all-white ensemble whether it be a full length knitted dress or in layers.
Wearing a monochromatic color from head to toe gives an illusion of length. It’s the easiest way to look taller or slimmer instantly. Aside from the optical illusion it gives, white is a neutral color that can be worn with any skin tone and it is easy to accessorize.

Pink
Pink definitely left an impression on the runway for this season from its muted tones to the bright bubblegum hues. It was femininity in all the volumes, frills and drapes. Pink also symbolizes youth, good health, and playfulness. An ode to the “war” we all fought the last few months perhaps? The blooming color just adds brightness and positivity all around. Make it the main color of your outfit, paired with toned-down pieces like simple sandals or heels and no accessories. Pink is your main show.

This classic jacket style is gaining traction this season. It may already be a staple in your winter wardrobe but if it is not, then it’s about time to get one. It is one of the best pieces to help keep you warm through the cold winter days. The best thing about it is that it is lightweight. Thanks to the fashion designers, the puffer coat has evolved in style from cinched waists, prints, two-toned colors and flattering designs. Some have hoodies or fur, zippers or buttons. Take your pick to go with your personality and style.

Tailored clothing this season is all about layers on layers. Tailored coats, blouses, vests or pants. The tailored look brings about sophistication and class. Tailored pieces show precision and care for details. There are so many ways to wear this look - like wearing a blouse over a turtleneck and pairing it with a tailored coat and pants.
