Must-have trends to try for fall 2016:

- Texture: Savor this trend and dapple in rich velvet, smooth suede, luxurious faux fur, and extravagant feathers. Wear the texture trend in the form of strappy velvet shoes, a faux fur clutch, or a structured suede handbag.

- Color: Ripe berries, rich yellows, and royal purples all look fresh this season when paired with muted neutrals including tan, black, and gray. The monochrome look (a.k.a the same color in various shades from head to toe) is THE LOOK this season. Enjoy this moment in fashion when anything goes and your outfit is better when it's thrown together on a whim. 

- Chokers: The statement accessory from the 90's makes a major comeback this season. Valentino added rockstuds, Lulu Frost opted for pearls, and Oscar De La Renta added an oversized silk bow. 

- Voluminous Skirts: Forget the bodycon dress, this season is all about skirts that flow. This trend is about fluidity and flowy shapes. Add structure with a fitted jacket or belted waist.

- The Bomber Jacket: To the joy of many, myself included, the bomber jacket lives on for fall '16.  This season the bomber jacket is heavily embellished, cropped, distressed, and in the case of Elie Tahari, entirely made of lace.
