Great for experimenting with pattern mixing, or just adding a touch of bohemian chic to your everyday wardrobe, the floral print pieces we’ve chosen are evergreen and fashion-forward–items you’ll wear often and for many seasons to come.

Preppy, clean, and inspired by the sea, nautical fashion is a classic genre that’s perfect for year-round wearing.

Variations of red, white, blue, and other neutrals, such as brown, black, and gray make up the most recognized colors within this particular look. Keeping that in mind, we’ve focused on bringing you a handful of evergreen pieces to add to your nautical fashion rotation. Wear them now, and months from now, thanks to the timeless appeal of these nautical fashion staples.

1. Wrap Around Top

A crisp, white button down is a wardrobe must-have to begin with–factor in a nautical look and you simply can’t get by without one. Perfect for layering with cardigans, sweaters, and vests, a staple piece like this will take you far and wide, whether you’re actually seaside, or not. Even better is that this particular button down features unique details, adding a little oomph to the everyday shirt. Wrapped up like a kimono, the tie side bow is fun and feminine. Grab a pair of red skinnies, a navy blazer, and a pair of loafers to complete the look. Priced at $39.

2. Striped Sequin Skirt

If unique pieces are your thing, you won’t want to overlook this beautiful sequin skirt. Blue and cream on the outside, and gold underneath, this color-changing skirt features mermaid sequin fabric that can be brushed up or down, creating interesting pockets of detail as the day wears on. Pair this with a white button down as shown (see number one above), team it up with a graphic tee, or opt for a solid long-sleeve top. Pair with flats, booties, or heels, and layer this piece with blazers, cardigans, cable knit sweaters, and more. Priced at $228.

3. Quirky Button Down

The deconstructed shirt is in for fall, so why not add a little nautical flair at the same time? This asymmetrical off-the-shoulder button down features a cool collar bone-baring design, red and white stripes (plus one for nautical), and a slightly oversized design (order a size down for a truer fit). For a creative work outfit, this shirt would be fun with a pair of trousers, heels, a belted waist, and a pair of simple, shoulder-grazing earrings. Other styling options for this include jeans, pencil skirts, comfy sweaters for layering, boots, loafers, leggings, and more. Whatever you decide, prepare for plenty of compliments and head turns in this quirky top. Priced at $55.

4. Drapey Dolman Cardi

Cardigans and nautical fashion go hand-in-hand, but rather than choose the typical boyfriend or varsity style sweaters, you’ll find this dolman sleeve cardi to be a breath of fresh, salty sea air. The relaxed design, side pockets, and clean lines combine modern and classic ideals for a beautiful finish. Pair with patterned pieces–from stripes to polka dots and everything in between, this cardigan is neutral enough to combine with prints and other colors, like red, yellow, orange, and Kelly green. Jeans are perfect, as are khakis, trousers, skirts, dresses and leggings. In fact, you can pretty much wear this piece with everything. And for a more form-fitting look, pick a rope belt to cinch the waist. Priced at $118.

5. Fun Star Jeans

Nautical fashion is great, but when you’re able to incorporate a few truly different pieces into that rotation, it makes for an even more interesting and well-liked wardrobe. These jeans, for instance, are great for nailing the seafarer look, and would look especially cool with patterned pieces. Get your print-mixing on with tops that feature stripes (wide or narrow), polka dots, anchor patterns, or a cool slogan tee. A plain white round neck shirt and a navy blazer would also work just fine with these super fun straight leg jeans. White sneakers are highly recommended, but boots and loafers are also welcome. Priced at $185.

Comfort clothes are perfect for fall. Whether it’s a favorite sweater, or your go-to wide leg pants, we’re certain you’ll find that piece here.

Cozy, textural sweaters, warm, inviting hues, and rich, enveloping textiles are just a preview of what’s to come. Is your mouth watering yet?

1. Fluffy Faux Fur Coat

Soft, faux fur makes this coat, and subsequently the wearer, the star of the show. Plush, cozy and beautiful, this perfect-for-fall piece checks off all the must-have creature comforts for the season. The jacket looks stunning with denim, but would also work swimmingly with a variety of different looks. From work-ready ensembles, to night-on-the-town getups, whether you’re wearing slacks and a crisp button down or a dress and ankle booties, this coat will easily carry you through the fall and winter months, without sacrificing style.

Even pants can be a source of comfort, especially when you love the way they look and feel. Wide leg pants are not only trending for fall, but they can be terribly inviting, too. The superb tailoring and small, yet impactful details seen on these pants make all the difference. The side pleating, pocket button trimming, and the high-rise waist create a flattering silhouette through the hips and rear, before opening up around the thigh. Dress them up or down with footwear and accessories, and choose whether you want to go oversized all the way, or opt for a fitted top. Either way, you can’t go wrong. Priced at $189.

This week it’s all about the unexpected. Plaid is a staple, sure, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the unexpected details these feature.

Plaid is a quintessential fall pattern, but this time around, the looks are sophisticated, urban, feminine, and really quite different than those of the past. In other words, the usual plaid flannel has been turned on its head and transformed into new looks that will appeal to pretty much everyone.

1. Prim and Proper Dress

Who says plaid can’t be posh? This modern black and white look is perfect for work or play, and is especially great for the office. Straight from Los Angeles, this crinkle dress with handkerchief-style skirt features a figure flattering built-in belt and a hidden back zip. For work, pair this dress with a black blazer, black tights, and pumps or ankle booties. For the weekend, try knee-high boots, a chunky cardigan, and your favorite wide-brim hat. Priced at $188.

2. Plaid Patchwork Top

Deconstructed clothes are in. Patchwork and reworked looks that mix prints, patterns, and textures are the art pieces, albeit avant garde at times, of the fashion world. Whether you choose the popular deconstructed crisp button down, or opt for something more laid-back, like this oversized plaid shirt with contrasting hoodie, you really can’t lose. With this particular top, you’ll be able to wear it with all your favorite jeans, leggings, and boots for fall. It’s definitely a comfort first kinda top, but one you won’t regret buying. Priced at $198.

3. Subtle Plaid Blazer

Blazers are great wardrobe staple pieces for a variety of occasions. They’re perfect for the office, but also work really well for nights out, and even casual weekend jaunts. This particular jacket has a plaid pattern pattern, but thanks to its subtlety, it will still work well with a variety of pieces you already own. Great for pattern mixing, wear this jacket with other prints, like floral, stripes, and even polka dots. And, to sweeten the deal, this jacket was made from deadstock remnant fabric and handcrafted right here in the United States. Priced at $69.

4. Bell Sleeve Blouse

A plaid top is a must-have for fall. But if you’d prefer to skip the grunge look this season, then we recommend trying this blouse instead of the typical oversized flannel. So pretty and unique, the bell sleeves on this top add a feminine touch to an otherwise masculine print. That detail, coupled with the lightweight fabric and fitted design, make for a great fall-ready blouse. Pair this with jeans, leggings, or trousers and your favorite boots. Dress it up or down with your accessories, and prepare to get tons of compliments wherever you go. Priced at $29.99.

5. Flowy Maxi Skirt

By far one of the coolest plaid garments we’ve seen, this deconstructed flannel maxi skirt is a definite statement piece. With a relaxed, boho vibe, this skirt will have you fall ready in a snap. Pair it with basic or printed tees, long sleeve tops, and your favorite sweaters. This looks awesome styled with booties, but would also work well with knee-high or over-the-knee boots. And in the meantime, southern state dwellers can pair this skirt with sandals and a knotted or cropped tee similar to the model’s. Priced at $114.

Plus, if you utilize your layering skills (and we know you’ve got them), you’ll be able to carry these pieces well into winter. With that said, we urge you to get creative, grab your accessories, and pick your favorites for the season.

1. The Slogan Tee

There’s nothing quite like a soft, comfy, lived-in t-shirt. Add able-to-wear-in-public to that list, and you’ve got a fall wardrobe staple piece. Whether you’re looking to express your love of wine, crankiness before coffee, or send a message that’s more political or gender-friendly in nature, there’s a tee out there for you. What’s great is that simple style essentials like these are great for layering in the fall. This t-shirt, for example, would be great over a long sleeve top or under a trench coat with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle boots. For extra chilly weather, top it off with a scarf and hat. Priced at $19.

2. The Colored Jeans

Slated to be a hot trend for fall, the colored jean can also be considered one of your fall style essentials. Choosing a quality brand, the right color, and proper fit are key to wearing these for years to come. Designed in Los Angeles, AG denim is a trusted brand delivering quality fashion. Additionally, these sateen jeans offer a universally flattering mid-rise, while the cigarette style provides a classic twist to these deep currant-colored jeans. Excellent with a variety of fall footwear, ankle boots would be most on-trend, as would a comfy, oversized cable-knit sweater. Priced at $178.

3. The Classic Coat

When it’s cold outside, your outerwear is most important because it’s what people will be noticing first. A great fitting, well-tailored coat is a must-have for a well-rounded closet. Investing in quality and caring for it properly will ensure that you’ll be able to wear it year after year. Featuring organic cotton, great lines, a detachable hood, and promised warmth, this Vaute Couture coat is perfect for everyone, including vegans.

Style with your favorite accessories, like hats, sunglasses, and scarves, and you’ll have a great autumn staple dress that you can wear all season long. Oh, and don’t forget to throw in a pop of color–fall hues would work very well with this neutral black and white. Priced at $35.

The post 5 Fall Style Essentials That Are Anything But Boring: Friday Finds appeared first on EcoSalon.

Sweater dresses are a great summer-to-fall wardrobe staple that you’ll get many miles out of. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up five special picks that we think are perfect for the upcoming fall season. Break out the booties and the tights, because autumn will be here before you know it!

1. Hot Little Hybrid

Sweater dresses are getting a makeover this year, in that they’re not just your typical, fitted neck-to-hem knit. More recently, this dress style is seeing the inclusion of shirting, creating the welcome illusion of layering without the need to find a knee-length button down. This particular dress, for instance, shows a bit more of the shirting than some, but the hybrid style is a nice departure from the usual sweater dress selection. This is long enough to be worn alone with over-the-knee boots, but would also look great with skinny jeans and ankle booties. Priced at $148.

2. Stripe Midi Dress

In some parts of the country, the weather is still warm, so choosing a sleeveless sweater dress is a great way to get more mileage out of your purchase. You can easily wear this piece now, with heels, sandals, or sneakers, and then layer it up when the weather turns cool. We’d love to see this with ankle booties and a faux leather jacket during fall months. Or, go the casual sneaker route and pair it with a hooded sweatshirt, creating an outfit perfect for a day by the ocean or on the boat. Priced at $111.

3. Floral Mini Knit

Sweet and sexy, this mini sweater dress had a beautiful, feminine floral print that just pops against the black background. Another awesome summer-to-fall frock, feel free to layer this according to the weather. Great now with heels or sandals and basic accessories, like a clutch and earrings, you’ll be ready for date night in a snap. Other styling options include knee-high or over-the-knee boots and a tailored blazer. To lend this look a bit of edge, try a chic pair of stiletto ankle boots and a faux leather jacket. Priced at $78.99.

4. Vertical Visionary

Definitely one for the cooler months, (but who can wait that long, am I right?) you’ll want to jump on this chunky knit before it’s sold out. Striking, modern, and a little artsy, this dress is perfect for when you feel like standing out in a crowd. The length is sexy, especially if you decide to leave your legs bare in early fall, but would look just as sexy with a pair of tights and over-the-knee boots come winter weather. The saffron stripe does well at drawing attention to the face. Coupled with the up swept hairstyle, and mock neck, all eyes will be on your beautiful smile. Priced at $148.

5. Cut It Out Dress

The perfect casual sweater dress, this look combines style and comfort. The sleeve cut-outs are super cool and add just the right amount of detail to this hooded piece. Great for laid-back outings, like thrifting, studying, a quick lunch, or chilling with friends at the coffee shop, you’ll reach for this dress again and again. We’d love to see it paired with sneakers, a backpack or cross-body bag, and a pioneer hat. Priced at $49.

The post 5 Amazing Sweater Dresses: Friday Finds appeared first on EcoSalon.

This year’s New York fall color palette from Pantone is full of warm hues juxtaposed by a dotting of “standout shades” that we think you’ll adore.

When the seasons change, the best place to turn for color inspiration is to the hue-picking trendsetters at Pantone. We are so in love with the lively autumnal selections from the New York palette this year that we’ve dedicated an entire post to showing a few of our favorites. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, describes the fall color palette as being “bookended by a dynamic Grenadine red and a tawny Autumn Maple,” with the overall feel leaning more towards warmth. Eiseman also says, “While comforting, enveloping colors and ease are crucial to the seasonal feeling; standout shades include a pale pink Ballet Slipper, a refreshing Golden Lime, and a bright Marina blue. These hues add a striking touch when paired with the classic autumnal shades of Navy Peony, Neutral Gray, Butterum and Tawny Port.”

1. Shaded Spruce Shirt

Bold, yet seasonally classic, this deep, rich color is one Pantone describes as a “green you might see in the forest – sheltering and protective as evergreen trees.” With just the slightest touch of blue, this color descends from the standard fall greens and is transformed into a delicious jewel tone you’ll look forward to wearing all season. The pajama style top we’ve chosen is right on trend and would look great with black, distressed skinny jeans and gold accessories. Priced at $88.

2. Autumn Maple Dress

If you’re looking for a timeless fall color, then this hue should be at the top of your list. “A quintessential autumn color, Autumn Maple is tawny and russet,” says Pantone. Dresses are still on for fall, and we’re loving the look of this dynamic lace frock in the spicy, rustic color. For cool weather styling, we’d suggest a pair of black tights, closed-toe booties, and a black blazer. Perfect for work or play, you’ll get lots of wear out of this dress. Priced at $119.99.

3. Tawny Port Pants

When it comes to rich burgundy hues, Tawny Port is touted for “taking the red family to new depths,” and being “elegant, sophisticated, and tasteful.” There aren’t many better ways to wear this color than as a pair of pants. Great with a variety of fall shoes, like booties, over-the-knee boots, and loafers, and with a variety of fall tops, like flannels, sweaters, and vests, a great pair of statement pants are a must. Try these paired with other hues from the Pantone fall color palette, like Ballet Slipper or Butterum. Priced at $64.

4. Navy Peony Blouse

Pantone says Navy Peony “is a dependable and an anchoring shade. Solid and stable, the hue takes some of the load off of black as a go-to neutral.” We adore the idea of a navy, rather than black, neutral for fall this year. And the beautiful blouse from Reformation pictured above is just the piece for pairing with other hues from the fall color palette, like Neutral Gray or Golden Lime. Great for work or play, this wrap top can be worn with a cami or without. Priced at $128.

5. Fiery Grenadine Dress

A simple shift dress can take you far in early fall. Combine that with one of Pantone’s standout shades and you’ll have a statement piece that’s easy to wear. “A powerful, evocative, dynamic red, Grenadine is a confident and self-assured attention-getter,” says Pantone. Style this easy layering, eye-catching shift dress with coordinating leggings (plaid if you’re feeling cheeky), a great pair of boots, and a chunky cardigan for a fun go-to fall outfit. Priced at $48.

Fall fashion doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to all of your favorite summer clothes, because we’re showing you ways to get the most out of your summer wardrobe.

The end of summer is near, which means transition season is upon us. What’s great about these in-between periods, though, is that they offer plenty of opportunities for creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and the chance to take inventory of your closet. Fall fashion, for example, doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stow away all of your summer duds. In fact, there are plenty of pieces you can continue to wear, even when summer has become an afterthought. From jumpsuits to track pants, we hope you’ll be inspired by our summer-to-fall picks.

1. Simple Black Jumpsuit

Like a modern little black dress, but quite possibly even more versatile, a simple black jumpsuit is a perfect summer-to-fall transition piece. Wear it now, as-is, with heels or sandals and seasonal accessories. Then, when the weather turns chilly, layer your jumpsuit with a blazer, moto jacket, denim jacket, or belted cardigan. Great for a night out or for the office, bring out your booties and fall accessories to complete the look. Priced at $49.

2. Great Layering Top

A great layering top is a must-have piece to round out your fall fashion wardrobe. This particular top is great because it’s lightweight enough for summer, yet able to be worn with lots of layers. For summer, pair it with a bralette or thin cami if you’re concerned about transparency, then wear it with your favorite skinny jeans. For fall, throw on a blazer and wear it to work with trousers and loafers. Denim jackets, long sleeve flannel tops, fitted sweaters, and cardigans would all layer nicely with this top. Priced at $68.

3. Solid Black Shorts

Believe it or not, a pair of tailored black shorts is a great fall fashion piece that will carry you seamlessly from the summer season. Great worn alone during the warm months with your favorite blouses and sandals, shorts are an obvious choice. When it comes to fall, however, black shorts still look great, but this time we recommend pairing them with black tights and ankle boots. You can get away with wearing a variety of tops, from sweaters to button downs, and easily layering other items, like scarves and blazers. Priced at $24.95.

4. Versatile Mini Dress

Even though summer is coming to an end, don’t pack those dresses away just yet. Still great for the fall season, dresses are really quite versatile. This particular piece can be worn with short sleeves and sandals until the weather cools off. When crisp air emerges, long sleeves are an obvious choice, as are a great pair of tights and close-toed Mary Jane shoes. Also consider thigh-high boots, knee-high boots, or ankle boots, and switch up the type of socks you wear; knee or thigh-high would all look great with this dress. Priced at $68.

5. Sleek Track Pants

Sporting track pants is a hot trend that’s really quite chic and classy. A pair of tapered leg pants like these add a modern and sleek touch and work well in all seasons. For summer, try these with sneakers or heels and a tank or graphic tee. For fall, try them with a sweater layered over a crisp button down and close-toed heels or loafers. Accessorize with a cross-body handbag and a pair of simple hoop earrings. Priced at $70.

Fall fashion is all about gathering the layering pieces you need, combined with the season’s latest trends, in order to perfect the look that’s right for you. For this round-up, we’ve done the legwork for you by identifying five of autumn’s hottest trends. From checks and jammies, to colorful faux fur and dark florals, there’s a trend on this list for everyone.

1. Daytime Pajama Sets

Thanks to the fall fashion trend involving pajama-inspired sets, spending the day in your jammies just became waaaay more acceptable. These looks are often coordinated, although you can mix and match separates with trousers, camisoles, or jeans, and appear opulent enough to wear to the office or a night out. The beautiful set pictured above features a lightweight fabric, which is perfect for the beginning of fall, can be easily layered, and would look killer with a pair of black loafers. Priced at $78.

2. Check Mate Material

Gingham, check, or plaid, no matter how you say it, this long standing fall fashion print has circled around again and will be seen heavily throughout the season. A great traditional autumn pattern to own, it’s timeless in its own way and will do you well for many years to come. The top we’ve chosen is a unique look featuring ruffle details and a keyhole back that will work now and in future months. This blouse would look as great with tailored shorts as it would with a pair of jeans and can be layered over light long sleeve tops when the weather turns cool. Priced at $88.

3. Fun Faux Fur

Faux fur is topping trend lists again this season, but rather than taking the neutral route, this year’s look is fun and totally colorful. Think multicolored coats, statement cropped jackets, and brightly accented vests to really nail the popular look. The faux fur jacket we’ve picked is a statement piece, hands down, and would look great with skinny jeans and leggings all throughout the fall and winter months. Booties, a simple tee, and your pearly whites are all you really need to complete the eye-catching look. Priced at $328.

4. Dark Dramatic Floral

When it comes to hot fall fashion, floral is still on fire. The botanical prints carried over from spring have been given an edge and are making their debut with a much darker look. Deep, rich, and textural, the floral prints of fall are sophisticated and seasonally apropos. Whether you prefer yours in the form of a dress, trousers, a pantsuit, or a blouse, there will be a piece to match your preferences. The beautiful deep blue top above is perfect for jumpstarting your autumn collection, features embroidery, and is lightweight enough to wear now and layer later. Priced at $168.

5. Shiny Metallic Pieces

Gold, silver, rose gold, and all things that glitter are in for fall. We’re loving the lingering effect metallics have had in the fashion world, especially during cooler months. A great way to brighten up your complexion, your mood, and any mundane piece you already own, tossing on a metallic jacket, like the jacquard-weave pictured above, will add instant flair to your look. Great with lightweight pieces as a juxtaposition, or layered with heavier sweaters and pants, this is a surprisingly versatile garment that’s perfect for fall. Priced at $59.99.
