Fall fashion frenzy


It's time to put summer's frivolity away with the bermuda shorts and strappy sandals.These are, after all, serious times, what with elections on both sides of the border, a fuel crisis, an environment under threat and a rising death toll in the war in afghanistan.

That seriousness is reflected in our fashions.

This is a season of beautiful, hard working clothes, pieces that will take you from work to the playground to evenings out and, who knows, maybe even on to the campaign trail.It is also a season of flattering cuts and colours, of beautiful fabrics and killer accessories.It is a season of contrasts, of modernism and classicism, individuality and conformity, bohemian excess and cool minimalism.

It is, above all, a season of great clothes you'll want to michael kors bags outlet wear for years to come.

Instead, we're seeing a return to investment dressing, the idea of buying fewer but better clothes that will last, not a couple of weeks, but a couple of seasons or more.

Of course, that's how most of us used to shop until budget retailers came along to knock off designer fashions and sell them for about the price of a starbucks latt(And with about the same staying power).

But now we're developing a distaste for the wastefulness of michael kors crossbody bags rhea fast fashion.

We're becoming concerned about the environmental impact of stuffing our landfills with clothes that have only been worn once or twice.

Besides, a garment that is made to stand the test of time just looks, feels and wears a whole lot nicer than something designed to last only a couple of washings.

An investment piece can be one of two things:It can be a great, well fitting classic in a top quality fabric and neutral colour, the sort of garment that can easily be changed up year after year with a great new accessory.Or it can be a unique designer piece a work of art that could end up in a museum or bequeathed to one's heirs.

There are plenty of both options this season, from the trim classic pencil skirts we saw on the runway at michael kors to the lace blouses at givenchy, the 24 karat gold mink jackets at fendi and the lace dresses and extravagantly artsy shoes at prada.

The new minimalism

In the 1990s, minimalism almost killed fashion.Back then, what started off as sleek and sophisticated quickly became boring and frumpy.It didn't help that so many garments were so relentlessly, unsexily practical;It also didn't help that we didn't have the benefit of luscious accessories to liven things up.

Even the season's neutral colour palette has a greater visual appeal than the grim, funereal look of the 1990s.

Instead of being all black all the time, this season is all about shades of grey.Charcoal, dove, silver, pearl these are flattering and subtle, easily layered to create visual interest and just as easily punched up with a hit of colour.

Best of all, this is a great michael kors women season for accessories.

Unlike previous years, there is no"It"Bag, or shoe, or scarf, or other accessory.Nor is this a season for logos and bling.

Instead, it's all about using accessories to express individuality and eschewing all those lvs and interlocked cs for a more understated luxury, what holt renfrew's vice president of fashion barbara atkin calls"Stealth wealth. "If all that good taste and restrained minimalism just isn't flashy enough for you, rest assured:There is one hot accessory that's sure to provide plenty of fashion fun.

The best way to add dazzle to fall's sleek looks is with a fabulous, oversized cluster of crystals at your neck or wrist.

Now, we're not talking dainty beads that sparkle michael kors accessories shoes delicately, but gi normous rocks as big as your fist, so eye catching they could almost blind you with the light they reflect.

Call them costume jewelry, semi precious gems or fabulous fakes, but this is the most exciting season for fashion jewelry since coco chanel first started piling on the ropes of faux pearls back in the 1920s.
