Texture:  Trends this fall will be largely texture driven as Designer have used a mixture of leather, lace, velvet, fur, feathers, and textured Fall/Winter fabrics like wool, tweed, and jersey. For example, a thick wool skirt should be paired with a silk blouse or lightweight cotton tee.  A thick sweater should be paired with slim trousers.

 Transparent maxi dresses and maxi skirts: it looks so effortless, feminine and sophisticated. Loose and flowing, relaxed sheer pieces. although it’s see-through, it doesn’t mean that you should show off your breast or underwear, if that’s not your style Go for a semi sheer option, for instance, or a sheer maxi with a shorter inbuilt slip or just add some underneath to it. be smart to pair it with a warm piece of outerwear, like a cropped jacket or a coat.
