Indianapolis Personal Stylist Autumn Trends: Part 2!
A few trends that push the boundaries are:
- Wide jeans (just as we were getting used to straight)
- Beyond traditional tie dye (because normal tie dye is kind of done)
- Bright, oversized plaid (a nod to Vivienne Westwood, perhaps)
To give you a few accessible ideas (perhaps already in your closet):
- Monochromatic dressing (especially in neutral tones)
- Corporate and business looks
- White shirts
- Jewelry stacks
- Quality basics
How to Choose?
As I have emphasized in the past, it is important to know your personal style when considering seasonal fashion trends. Those with a classic style can skip the eye-popping colors, for example, while those with a feminine style may overlook the menswear trends. Our style preferences are often a blend of styles, so if you need guidance, I suggest working with me, an Indianapolis Personal Stylist, to pinpoint your personal style.
It’s a Season for Fun
My main takeaway from the fall fashion trends is to not take oneself too seriously – have fun and play more. The best way to know what works for you is to stay open, be curious, and be willing to experiment. Remember, there is no such thing as failure in fashion. The true failure is not having tried at all, staying in one’s comfort zone.
The Seasonal Snapshot
If you’d like to see a sampling of the fall fashion runways, look at my Runway board on Pinterest. Keep in mind, that the runway is intentionally theatrical and sensational. Dial these ideas way back to make them work in real life.
I am excited about the upcoming season, and I look forward to helping my clients find sensational additions to their wardrobe. If I can be of assistance to you, contact me to set up a discovery call. There’s no need to stress about what to wear or where to buy it. I’m here for you.

I wanted you to see my take on the suit I purchased for fall. It’s a warm taupe suit from Banana Republic. I still have not purchased the top to wear underneath but can tell you I recently tried on a satiny silver shell with it, and it was a beautiful look! I can also wear these colors: grass green, turquoise, red, and cream (not a surprise). I picked these colors from my color book for spring. Click here to find out where I got the silk shell!
Keep it sassy, Indy.
