so, in honor of thedailyobsession’s post today about how to wear skinny jeans, let’s talk fall trends. since i think fall 2006 is probably the most dramatic turn of events in the last 5 years, what fall trends are you most and least looking forward to this year??
most: i love the loose tops, since they hide a tummy (and i can frequently go down a size, which is always a good thing). and there is a truly fabulous crop of boots out this fall, i must admit.
least: oh lord, there are so many things i hate about the fall collections this year, but i’d have to put leggings at the top of the list. not crazy about skinny jeans, but at least they have some structure, and if you wear them with a bum-covering top, you can sort of make it work….but leggings are just bad. hmm, or ankle boots. i hated ankle boots the first time around, so the reincarnation makes me extremely unhappy.
your turn…..
I’m with you on the skinny jeans. I also am not very happy about the ankle boots. Never wore them the first time… Don’t plan on it this time either.
I do like the footless tights. In a funky way. But I believe only certain people can pull it off… If you don’t know if you can, you can’t. 🙂
I’m not too excited about some of the handbags this season. There’s something about them that isn’t grabbing me but I can’t put my finger on it.
I do like how you can layer long sleeves under short sleeves or vests.
Not to be repetitive, but I HATE sweater dresses. And I don’t like skinny jeant because I can’t afford to re-buy jeans. I like my Joe’s Jeans boot cuts and I am just not going to care.
I like leggings and used to be someone who wore them regularly, but am not so sure about them anymore. Can you have wrinkles and wear them at the same time?
Why oh why, ankle boots? Eep. I hope that trend disappears soon. Sweater dresses might work, but it really depends on cut, etc. (Maybe more like an oversized sweater?) As I said in my post…Skinny jeans translate into straight legged jeans for me, so…it’s a compromise, I suppose.
P.S. Thanks for the shoutout! 🙂
OK… NO to ankle boots…. I saw a pair in a magazine that looked like a pump with a little extra leather hanging over the top, and I almost liked them, then I slapped my wrist… how dare I!
I’ve heard a rumor I might be put in leggings for the makeover… grrr. I tried on a pair to please the editor… and all the sudden, we both agreed, I can’t pull them off… at all, and I’ve got a reasonable shape… suddenly, I turned into a very hippy person… hmmm
I’m honestly confused with the difference between leggings and footless tights.. aren’t the leggings just a little more shear?
I agree with skh in terms of re-buying jeans… stupid.
I’m going to be VERY out of fashion this season.. then again, have I ever really been in style?
glad to see there’s consensus on the ankle boots….yuck. and skh, i’m with you on the jeans – i think if enough of us boycott, we can make this a very short-lived trend.
only4, leggings are (or should be) completely opaque. footless tights are just like tights, so they’ll have some sheerness to them, though not as much as nylons.
i followed the link from angela’s page. i hope you don’t mind. i love to talk fashion, whether i am considered in the know or not.
so my two cents, i like ankle boots. in fact i considered buying a pair to accent a few dresses that fall a little above the knee.
i do not like skinny jeans. though i go miss my guess jeans from the 80’s with the zippers up the ankle.
i do wear tights under tunics with a pair of chucks or some sandals.
i don’t mind at all, kokinut…or should i say mizkokinut 🙂 welcome!
i think i had those same guess jeans….ah, the good ol’ days, before we knew better 🙂
Most: Sweater Dresses
Least: Ankle boots and leggings. Don’t get me wrong, I have ankle boots that I love, but please, let’s leave them under jeans where they belong, not over leggings.
