Every season, Neiman Marcus releases a list of the most important wardrobe purchases for the season to come.
- Fur: With the price of fur at an all time high, designers have been flashing fur pieces as a sign of luxury and social status. Controversies aside, classy pelts will never go out of style.
- Pearls: Recycling the classics, pearls have been made over from the original single stranded necklaces and bracelets to chunky, multi-stranded, mixed-media inventions. Intertwining chains and several strings of pearls, designers like Vera Wang have given an old look new life.
- Boots of all Sorts: Keeping warm as well as looking stylish, boots will remain a style staple for years to come. This season’s trend is variety. From tall stiletto heels, wedges and flats, to thy highs, ankle booties and slouches, there is a functional boot on the market for every occasion.
- Military influences: Making a comeback several seasons ago, army print, buttons, shoulder patches and rough materials are still circulating the fashion circuit.
- Feathers: Adding feathers to cocktail dresses, shawls, shoes and purses gives an extra boost of whimsical to an ordinary outfit.
- No more Hobos: Loose, over-sized, non-structured bags are now cast aside and controlled, organized purses have made a come back.
- Lace: Last but not least, subtle sexy lace creeps up on every part of our wardrobes. Making dresses extra feminine, adding a pretty element to blouses and a special accent to shoes and booties, lace now qualifies as a fall staple.
