Although it feels like summer just got started, fall 2015 trends are already trickling into stores. I always anticipate seeing new season merchandise arrive in stores this time of year, but I also know how hard it is to shop for autumn staples such as boots and sweaters when it's sweltering outside and all you want to do is go swimming or stay in an air conditioned space.
Need motivation to start thinking about fall 2015 fashion? Well the fashion industry is always a step (or two) ahead, and there are so many fun trends to try for the fall 2015 back-to-school season. Pay homage to the Victorian era with lace details and prim blouses, as shown on the runways of Givenchy, Valentino, and Altuzarra. Or experiment with a new accessory - the chic skinny scarf, as championed by Clare Waight Keller at Chloé and style icon Alexa Chung. Take your cue for floor-length proportions (as modeled on the catwalks of Chanel and Dries Van Noten) by layering a duster coat over the must-have skirt for fall - the A-line mini skirt.
If you're already planning your first day outfit, or contemplating how to update your wardrobe for fall, I've selected a few of the top runway-to-retail trends that I've scouted as we approach the end of July. At prices under $130, they're both affordable and easy to wear. Win win!
