Karl Lagerfeld | ReDress

Sticking around for another season is the Sporty trend.

You all know we loved our soft pants and sweatshirts last year so we’re so glad they’re back again for Fall. Styles this season have gone beyond just the sporty detail (raglan sleeves, banded necklines and hems, hoods, etc) into full-on sport attire: numbers on sweatshirts, logos, sneakers, and backpacks are everywhere. But we also love the mixing of sporty and feminine, and are seeing it all in one piece (for example, the JCrew leather front sweatshirt or Haute Hippie sweatshirt dress with feathers and embellishments below). As we said with menswear: don’t forget to add some femininity into your look when sporting the sporty trend!

Sporty: Fall ’14 by redress featuring a black backpack

We are starting our blog series on Fall Trends! These posts will hopefully inspire you as you take inventory of your fall wardrobe and start shopping for cold weather clothes.

First up: Menswear!

Think structured silhouettes (blazers, trousers, button down shirts), colors (darks and neutrals), patterns (houndstooth, pinstripes, and plaids) and fabrics (wool blazers or pants and woven shirts). We love this mixed in with some femininity: add a statement necklace or a sassy heel to keep it from feeling too masculine. If you’re just easing into this trend, try it in an accessory: oxford shoes (or a houndstooth pattern on a flat!), plaid scarves, and big watches are a great place to start!
