You have been warned! What you're about to see might make you want to add some adorable new styles to your wardrobe. This fall, there is so much to adore when it comes to the fun and funky. And the best part is these styles are also very functional.
Clothing with a Western flair, monochromatic matching sets, bold floral patterns, and plenty of knits make the different outfit combinations endless. The colors can be muted fall tones, but there are also deep, vibrant hues.
Shawna Swanson of Swanson's at 700 Massachusetts is feeling the fashionable flair in her store. Bold colors are all the rage. Reds, blues, and greens are a departure from the light-colored athleisure looks of spring and summer. She also made note of some items that are mixable and matchable with what you may already have in your closet.
"We have an oversized cashmere sweater that is pure fall, and I can see myself wearing that every Saturday," Swanson says. "I also love the reversible robe and the black sweater by Codice that can be paired with what you probably already have in your wardrobe."
A few doors down, Eccentricity owner Morgan Fellers talks about what she's excited to see this fall. There are equestrian- and western-inspired clothing, many great prints, and crocheted and knitted pieces. These are quality items that ladies will be able to look fabulous in for years. Fellers also points out that little extra things can make an outfit pop.
"Layered jewelry and statement accessories never go out of style," she says. "Pieces in our shop, like handbags by Consuela, a company based in Austin, Texas, along with bags from Pranee, which are handmade in Thailand, are really eye-catching."
Weavers Department Store, at 901 Massachusetts, also has plenty of prettiness for the season. Their racks are reflective of what's trending with bolder, brighter colors. Burgundies, mustard yellows, and indigo blue look beautiful on their blouses, skirts, and dresses. Knits are also found in various forms throughout. Fun sweaters from Wooden Ships paired with Democracy jeans are a great go-to outfit for ladies who want to get things done, be comfy, and look good all at once.
"Activewear will always be an important part of our inventory," comments store owner Joe Flannery.
Eccentricity's Fellers sums up fall fashion this year: "Many people do want to be on trend, but they also want to have unique pieces that make sense for their own personal style. Clothing and accessories that are well made and meant to last are important for many women to own because they can go back to them again and again, creating different looks."
