So, maybe you have heard, but patchwork is a trend for this summer. Personally, I love it. It’s a huge contrast, especially compared to my other favorite trend, sequins! How can you wear. Patchwork without looking a little too much like your grandma?

Go with bright colors. Shy away from primary colors-blue, red, yellow, especially when framed in black.
Choose a color palate. If you like pink, go with, and colors with the same vibrancy that compliment.
Look for tiny patters within the patchwork. Florals and paisley. From a distance it blends in, but up close it adds contrast.
Look for a modern shape to the clothing. Fitted, off the shoulder–something grandma defiantly wouldn’t be wearing!
Most importantly…wear something you love. Nothing will make you look like grandma more than you wearing something that makes you feel like grandma! You can pull off anything that you feel amazing in!

Now that NYFW has come and on, and fashion week continues to move its way around the globe, we have an idea what is going to be big this fall. So what exactly should you make sure to be adding to your closet?

Skirt Suit

There isn’t anything old fashioned or boring about this suit trend. Its updated from previous years with interesting patterns, fabrics and cuts. Also the hem lines stay high, keeping the look ever so youthful (and who doesn’t want to look younger).

Check out this one we are loving from Forever21

Reinvented Denim

We are already starting to see this trend all over street fashion. The new denim look is to take your old denim and reinvent it. Raw hems. Patchwork. It all looks new, and eclectic, and we love it.

You can buy this skirt here!

Say Yes to Velvet

Be new, and reinvent your velvet, with a shift or slip dress, or velvet suit pieces. It adds texture, and a new dynamic to any outfit.

For a safer look, try this shift dress by TopShop.
Feeling a littler bolder? TopShop also makes a blazer.

Burnt Orange

This muted orange color looks amazing on almost every skin tone, and with pretty much every accent color. Besides, it looks so warm, and reminds us of pumpkin spice latte’s.

Check out this great sweater from H&M.
