As we enter the fall season, businesswomen must embrace a new, fun, and exciting style for career success. Fall is a great time to try rich, earthy colors. It is also good to mix and match patterns to create your own style. There are many trends that have fallen this season, but we believe that there are three in particular that are worth clinging to for a chic, comfortable and creative style.

Here are the new fall trends that every business woman should add to 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 styles. Lace is no longer limited to black and white colors. Women are buying lace tops and blouses in rich colors like purple, blue, brown and navy. Women can pair these lace blouses with fitted suit jackets for formal appeal. Or they can pair the lace tops with cardigans and V-neck sweaters for a soft layering effect. Lace can also be easily moved from the office to the living room for an after-work cocktail or networking event. This elegant material is not just limited to clothing, designers are incorporating lace into purses and bags. Lace is also a wonderful material for shoes and other accessories.

Vests

This is the season when women are investing in fashion in their professional wardrobe. Vests that were inspired by the ’60s are making a comeback in style in a powerful way. Whether short, fitted, one-button or three-button cut, women combine them with nice pants and a button-down shirt. The 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. The skirts can be wide, in line or high to the waist. This season, the vests are being made in different colors and fabrics and adding more variety to the classic wardrobe. Women can expect to find warm vests for this season and we think it could extend into the spring forecast.

Wide leg pants

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

Lace + vest + wide leg pants

A great combination for fall is the three hot styles in one! A lace blouse with a fitted vest and baggy pants will make a great business casual outfit to wear on casual Fridays at the office, at a casual business meeting with colleagues or associates, or at an after-hours networking event. The look is chic and effortless and very stylish. We encourage women to mix and match colors and textures for a more creative and fun appeal. The sky’s the limit with this fantastic costume set.
