Entering the fall season, business women need to embrace a new, fun and exciting style for career success. Fall is a great time to try deep, earthy colors. It’s also good to mix and match patterns to create your own style. There are plenty of trends that have dropped this season, but we think there are three in particular worth holding on to for a chic, comfortable, and creative look.

Listed below are the New Fall Trends that every businesswoman should incorporate into her professional wardrobe.

Cord

Lace is such a romantic and soft fabric that it works well with materials like cotton, rayon, wool, and silk. Lace is also appropriate for the workplace when paired with complementary styles and looks. Lace is no longer limited to black and white colors. Women are shopping for lace tops and blouses in deep, rich colors like purple, blue, brown, and navy. Women can pair these lace tops with fitted jackets for a formal look. Or they can pair the lace tops with V-neck cardigans and sweaters for a soft layering effect. Lace can also be easily moved from the office to the living room for an after-work cocktail party or networking event. This elegant material is not just limited to clothing, designers are incorporating lace into bags and purses. Lace is also a wonderful material for shoes and other accessories.

jackets

This is the season when women are investing in fashion in their professional wardrobe. Vests that were inspired by the ’60s are coming back in style in a powerful way. Whether they’re cropped, slim-fit, one-button, or three-button, women pair them with cute slacks and a button-down shirt. Vests have a slight masculine appeal that adds a subtle touch to a woman’s outfit. The vest looks dynamic with skirts to add a more feminine appeal. Skirts can be wide, flared, or high at the waist. This season, the vests are made in different colors and fabrics, adding more variety to the classic wardrobe. Women can expect to find warm vests this season and we think it could carry over into the spring forecast.

wide leg pants

Wide leg pants are becoming more and more popular and can be worn by almost any body type. We recommend that women size their pants to properly fit their body proportions to create a smooth and sophisticated silhouette. Wide leg pants were a hit in the ’70s and are now being mirrored by the younger generation. Wide-legged pants look great with a fitted top, sweater, or fitted jacket to create a balanced look. They should also be paired with heels or high-heeled or platform shoes to create a longer, slimmer look.

Lace + Vest + Wide Leg Pants

A great combination for fall are these three hot looks in one! A lace top with a fitted vest and wide leg pants will make a great business casual outfit to wear to the office on Casual Fridays, to a casual business meeting with colleagues or associates, or to an after-hours networking event. The look is effortlessly chic and very elegant. We encourage ladies to mix and match colors and textures for a more creative and fun appeal. The sky is the limit with this fantastic costume set.
