Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Oversized BowsFor outfits that need a feminine touch, bows are the accent of choice. Skip the flowers on the lapel, rhinestone embellishments, and even the ruffles. This year calls for big and bold bows around the neck as a scarf, and even around the waist as a belt. Proenza Schouler revealed an attractive line of blouses with bows around the collar at New York Fashion Week, and celebrities at the Gucci benefit put the spotlight on assymetrical folds and bows; this is a great trend for women who want to add weight to the upper body.
Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Exotic Floral PrintsSpring and summer 2008 brought back the miniature florals and oversized prints, but Fall takes a unique turn with exotic florals showing up on dresses and blouses. Skip the geometric prints completely this season (those Diane von Furstenberg dresses will have to be stashed away temporarily) and pick up a maxi dress or A-line skirt with a bright, bold splash of flowers and bouquets. Top color choice this season include black and white, purple and black, and orange and brown.
Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Ankle Boots with DressesThe bootie was a leading trend in Winter 2007, and returns with a slightly higher cuff in Fall 2008. It's still a great match with dresses and miniskirts, and models at New York Fashion Week were sporting these with tights and knee-high socks rolled down just above the cuff. Ankle boots with pencil-thin heels or just the flats are acceptable this year.
Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Poufy SleevesThe poufy sleeves showed up on Spring and summer 2008 runways, but there's still time to get that look for Fall. Pick up yours in flowing blouses and knee-length dresses; the wide collar looks are a great way to enhance a small frame, while full-figured women can hide larger arms with ease. Catherine Malandrino presented a unique collection of mini dresses with wide necklines to capture this trend at New York Fashion Week.
From plaid coats to funnel neck sweaters, there are plenty of ways to create a fresh new look for Fall 2008. Just pick a few of these leading trends to balance out your stylish wardrobe
