Posted: 12/8/2011

Sleeve detail is in on outerwear, with bat wing, dolman or ¾-length sleeves top trends.

(NAPSI)—As temperatures become cooler, fall fashion heats up with a focus on feminine details, new shapes and textures, and rich colors. Savvy shoppers will find all the season’s designer must-haves, for less, at off-price retailers such as Marshalls and T.J.Maxx. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll want in your closet this fall:

Glamorous Colors: This season, colors are deep and rich, in purple, spice and teal. Bright berries and reds will also have everyone falling for the season’s hottest fashions. Knits look sophisticated in deep purples, while dolman tops wow in rich, winter grays and fall florals. Cashmere ponchos in earth tones, creams and light browns pair beautifully with accent colors of teal or deep spice.

Feminine Details: Feminine details and demure prints return. Blouses with tie necks, bow details and flowing, dolman or exaggerated kimono sleeves add a pristine feel, while fall floral and polka-dot prints are constructed with delicate chiffon.

Lovely Fabrics: Fabrics like silk and georgette paired with solid-color staples are easy to dress up or down. Chunky knits keep it cozy in warm winter hues along with oversized, marbled yarns. Boiled wools, leather and suede are chic and add a dose of autumnal style. Ponchos and wraps, like the ruana, abound in a variety of fabrics, textures and colors, from deep purples to spice and camel. To find these styles for up to 60 percent off specialty and department store prices, shop off-price.

Feminine Silhouettes: Flare-leg trousers and denim are officially back en vogue. Skirts vary in length and styles vary from pencil to A-line or fit to flare. Dresses include such details as voluminous sleeves, faux fur trim, belted styles and animal prints and can take you from day to night.

Showstopping Shoes: Tall wedge riding boots with faux shearling trim, lace-up or hiker stacked-heel suede booties and motorcycle boots with buckle details take center stage. Other fall shoe trends include animal print and platform styles with color block heels, plus flats with unique toe embellishments.

Outerwear: Outerwear comes in many styles, including the classic belted trench, as well as leather jackets with shearling or faux fur trim and tremendous attention to detail with zipper and button accents. Sleeve detail is also a must-have, with dolman or ?-length sleeves rounding out the trends for the season.

Fabulous Accessories: Structured satchels, totes and bucket bags come in deep seasonal colors and animal prints. Pair them with ladylike gloves featuring rosettes and ruching and silk or cashmere scarves. Jewelry, from layered bangles to tassel detailing and statement necklaces, is both pretty and sophisticated.
