Fall Fashion Trends

When times are tight, fashion designers historically return to their roots, celebrating the classic lines of the female form, and this year is no exception. Designers' fall collections have hit the runways showcasing sleek, body hugging shapes and curvy lines. The colour palette for fall is dark - blacks, browns and grays dominate, offset by brilliant jewel tones in shades of red and blue (magenta, maroon, emerald and azure). Necklines are designed to accentuate your curves with a variety of plunge, V-neck and wrap-around styles in many collections.

Footwear too is femme fatale, with high spiky heels, strappy gladiator sandals and thigh-high boots. To keep costs down, fabrics this season tend to be in lighter weaves than previous winters - a fact which also means you're likely to get less support to keep a soft tummy or sagging bosom in check. Keep these tips in mind to make the most of the season's newest looks and make sure you always look your absolute best:

  1. Lingerie lines are a no-no, so make sure you're wearing a properly fitted bra that doesn't create unsightly bulges or accentuate problem areas. Seamless t-shirt bras and moulded-cup bras are a terrific option.
  2. Good support to lift and separate the breasts, giving a full natural appearance is more important than ever. Stop by Dianes to have one of our lingerie stylists make sure your bra size hasn't changed.
  3. Body-hugging styles and finer fabrics are unforgiving. Make sure you colour match your bras to the staple items in your wardrobe to avoid unsightly shadowing.
  4. Look for pretty peek-a-boo detailing on straps and cups for lingerie worn under deep or wide necklines.
  5. Every body will benefit from the right shapewear to guarantee a smooth silhouette, no matter what you wear. With the new Scala line, your shapewear will actually help to fight cellulite as you go about your day.
  6. Don't forget the bottoms! Panty lines or worse - panty shadows visible through the fabric of your slacks - produce an unsightly distraction. Stock up on new Hanky Pankys in all the season's hottest colours.
