Fall is officially here, meaning it is time for football and fall fashion. Sometimes, they are even rolled into one, like at International Plaza. Here, game-day gear is flying off the shelves along with the season’s most popular trends.
What are the trends for this new fall season?
Western Boots
Western boots or cowgirl boots made a comeback this past spring. It looks like they are here to stay. Boots have been a popular fall trend in Greater Tampa Bay boutiques. Plus, they are great transitional pieces. They can be worn year-round with different outfits. Versatility for the win.
Shimmer and Shine
Sequins are back, so be prepared to sparkle a little or a lot this fall. Sparkly tops and dresses are ready to be worn for tailgates, holiday parties, girls’ night out and date nights. Honestly, who would not want a little sparkle in their life?
Feather Weather?
Sweater weather is hard to come by in Florida. However, feather weather is doable. Good thing it is on-trend for this season. The new feather micro-trend includes everything from dresses to shoes, bags and even denim jackets.
The Influencer Hat
Hats are not just for summer. The wide-brim hat is still on-trend and more popular than ever. The wide-brimmed silhouette or a fedora will give any outfit a little something extra and look great in those fall photo sessions, too.
Tried and True
The classic flannel shirt is a fall go-to wardrobe item. A plaid flannel shirt can be worn in several ways, with shorts, black leggings, jeans or layered over a dress or T-shirt.
In Fall, We Wear Pink
Pink is often thought of as a spring or summer color. However, it is also a festive fall color. This year, it is trendier than ever.
Pink looks fabulous with some of the more traditional fall colors, like shades of rust, dark green and burgundy. Not to mention, October is also breast cancer awareness month, so why not rock some pink for a great cause and be fashionable too?
Textures are Everything
Complete the perfect fall outfit with layers of texture. This can be done by beginning with a basic outfit and then adding a cardigan or jacket with a different texture or some fun jewelry.
Game-day Gear
Football season is here. That means it is time to sport game-day gear, and in Greater Tampa Bay, that means Bulls and Bucs gear. Look for darling USF and Buccaneer attire at local boutiques in the GTB area and get ready to tailgate in style.
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!
Since sequins and feathers are back, the overall theme for fall 2022 fashion is to accessorize and have fun doing it. Greater Gainesville offers a large variety of local boutiques full of fun, fashionable pieces sure to accommodate the season’s most popular trends and each customer’s personal style.
