Bright Colored Pants

Bright colors are a big trend this year, whether they're on prints, patterns, accessories, or...pants!

Bright colored pants are very popular this fall, and I think they'll carry on through winter. I love these pants because they really pop against the neutral layers usually worn in fall and winter.

The most popular shade of bright colored pants is red.

How To: Wear Maxi Dresses (or Skirts) in Fall and Winter

It's starting to get cold, and if you're like me you probably don't want to put all your summer clothes away just yet. Maxi dresses and skirts have been a really big trend this year, and luckily, they are very easy to wear during the colder months.

The easiest way to wear this trend during the fall/winter is to pair a tee-shirt underneath and/or top it with a cardigan/blazer. Since people usually wear neutrals during the winter, if you have a bright-colored maxi try pairing it with a neutral-colored coat/jacket and accessories to tone it down.

Pairing maxi skirts or dresses with slick-punk rock jackets would work great for fall. (Marie Claire - June 2011, V. 18, Issue 6)

If you have a maxi dress with long or 3/4 sleeves you're in luck because you can wear it through the fall as it is.

You're probably going to be layering a lot on top of your maxi dress/skirt to keep warm. Most of your body will probably be covered, so make your outfit a little more sexy with some killer accessories. Put on your highest heels, and it'll add a whole 'nother type of layer to your winter-ready outfit!

Oversized Sweaters

Lately, in just about all the fashion magazines I've been reading, there has been a picture or page about oversized sweaters. They are super comfy & keep you warm, and when paired with the right leggings, skinny jeans, tights, jacket, or shorts, they become instantly chic!

*Note: When you wear something loose-fitting at the top, wear something fitted at the bottom.
