A modernized Parisian elegance was on full display by embodying strength, individualism and radiating poise. Classic color palettes are being elevated through material mixing. Brought back by Chloé, the bohemian chic style has a chokehold on us all over again. Soft fabrics and layering were utilized to add a whimsical flow for tops and dresses. Lace is making a comeback to give looks more texture. Lady-like tights have transitioned to all lace, enriching a usual bare leg. Tall rough boots are being paired with care-free flowing garments to create contrast. A slouched, lived-in boots look is being seen on and off the fashion week streets.

Sequin and chain garments give access to exposed skin while still being tasteful. Making statements with clear and bold color sequins, this is an easy transition piece from day-to-night. Plaids have been universal in their emergence for fall. Not taking to all of the traditional colors, plaid is being seen in bright, light hues. Gathering of fabric is being used in pleating and draping for dramatic movement.
A Parisian fall is the height of quality layering, mixing sleek with warmth. This daydream of visiting the city while the leaves are falling, holding a brown suede bag in one hand and a hot latte in another. A sweet afternoon is spent strolling by bakeries, smelling the fresh baguettes and crepes. To stay prepared for the cool evening, there is a light jacket tucked in the suede bag. An array of style is seen from the lobby of the hotel to Champs-Élysées avenue. Anyone that lives for fashion, knows this desire. To galavant in Paris during the fall is a divine luxury.

Circling back to a structured silhouette, the CEO-esque style is coming to the forefront. Through boning and tailoring, reinforcement accentuates the profound shape of the garment. Sheer touches have been added to show some skin during the cool end to September. Having an accessorizing problem? Not to worry. Adding a belt to your shoes, skirts, and necklines has been in recently. Do not hesitate if you need some extra help, Book a Style Session with us at Citizen’s Poste! Stacked, folding over one another, or singular and simple, the belt movement is far from over. With the tones of a cold night, the edge for many of the looks proves to give a powerhouse feel.
