Look autumn-ready
Published in Al-Ahram Weekly on 24 - 09 - 2014

Autumn has begun. If you missed the fall runways and want to style your wardrobe according to the latest fashion trends, just follow these styles
Swinging sixties
The sixties are back in a major way, so a dress with sixties' fashion style is a must-have. A bunch of designers got together and decided to bring back miniskirts, knee-high boots, and accessories that remind us of yesteryear.
Novelty prints
Fall 2014 isn't boring: it is actually super vibrant. Bright, loud novelty prints and graphics — even on the most casual pieces — will bring your look to life.
Robe coats
This season, the housecoat makes a huge comeback in almost all designer shows. The coats are generously cut and close with a sash.
Dresses over pants
For next season, designers are challenging us to wear pants and a dress.
Pastels
In addition to brights and bolds, pastels will make their way into the fall circuit. And instead of putting spring and summer clothes away, you can pair them with sweaters, jackets, tights, and boots. That way your style will be trendier.
Sportswear
Fall 2014's sportswear translates to quilted mini-dresses and silk shorts, according to pieces by Miu Miu and Fendi. So, in place of jackets or sweatshirts, opt for a tank top or T-shirt — or even make the look office-appropriate by pairing shorts with a button-up blouse.
The classically tailored suit
For ladies on a fashionable mission, only the sharpest tailoring with a masculine edge will do.
Fur and feathers
Dresses in feathered materials are pretty inevitable for fall fashion this season. Designers are experimenting with new shapes all over the runways.
Military khaki
The dominant colour on the runway this fall is military khaki. The rules and rigour of the army have captured designer attention, inspiring a fashion soldier's uniform with stricter silhouettes and structured looks.
Aspen chic
The cult argyle sweater is making a big return this season. Paired it with a classic piece like a sixties leather miniskirt, or cinch it with a skinny belt.
Goldmine
Gold was in the spotlight as it cascaded across this year fall/winter runways. The sixties' designs were revamped in gold fabrics, and this adds to the autumn's vintage kitsch vibe.
The ‘it' jacket
The must-have jacket for fall 2014 features a contrasting collar of shearling or fur, nipped in at the waist and falling to the mid-thigh.
Zips
Zip up! Designers have gone mad for the functional clothing feature.
Blanket scarves
The bigger the better, scarves have gone blanket-like this season.
Extra-large coats
An eternal classic, the three-quarter-length coat goes to a new, longer length this season. The men's classic overcoat has a feminine look and a defined waist.
Knit wit
This season, knitwear is no longer a supporting act — it's the star turn. This comfortingly soft, full look in wool works best in neutral tones. From cozy pants that promise to alleviate the need for tights, to similarly warm varieties, the sweater is no longer relegated to the top half.
The bigger the better
The oversize trend is the best way to hide an extra few pounds. All hail bigger sweaters, pants, and coats!
