Your summer tan has started to fade. It’s time to think about some key fall trends to add to the closet!

Sparkle and Shine
Metallics reign for fall; think copper, gold and gun metal, and sequins, too. Designer Cynthia Rowley offers a shining head-to-toe standout: the “Golden Era” dress paired with hand-embellished tights, a gold wishbone necklace and leather boots!

Rock the 80’s
Designers like Alexander Wang, Zac Posen and Narciso Rodriguez are bringing back the 80’s in their own unique way! Padded shoulders, sexy cutouts, bold colors and helmut hair paraded down the NYC runways in February. Pick one statement piece, like this zip front dress from Parker in sexy black! Team it with a sword-sharp shoulder jacket, leg warmers or a midriff-baring vest.

Neon Bright
Crayola brights are everywhere from Michael Kors to Marc Jacobs. Hot pink is popular and the design team of Parker serves up the shade in a feminine ruffle blouse that gives just enough pop! Pair it with basic black or charcoal grey. Cynthia Rowley tells a complete fall trend story with her “Blood Orange” dress, metallic silk bib necklace, studded tights and metallic leather heels.

Knitwear
Chunky or layered, knits are all the rage, plus they’ll keep you warm when the mercury starts to dip. While grey may be the safest shade, KRELwear offers graphic stripes in classic black and white played against gold and red metallics. Standout pieces: a dolman-sleeved tunic dress in onyx with transparent metallic mesh bodice; a graphic black-and-white striped tube skirt with matching tubular head wrap and arm warmers; and a charcoal batwing poncho.

Prints
Prints abound every fall. This season they range from animal to plaid, geometric to watercolor. As the leaves begin to change color, consider a woodgrain print from Parker. Dress it up in a back-baring frock with black tights and an ankle boot.

Coats
Outerwear is a necessity but it can be eye-catching too! The choices are limitless, from capes to capelets, super cropped jackets to full length trenches, pea coats to puffers. Fabrics vary too: camel, cashmere, goose down, herringbone, tweed and fur! Designer Adrienne Landau certainly knows her fur (real or fake.) Her notables: fox chubby and faux mink jacket. A hot look for cold weather.

Accessories
Easy investments offer quick style. An array of designer accessories offer a recession-minded way to build a fall closet.

Scarves
To ward off winter’s chill and look super-chic at the same, consider a scarf. They are available in every color and fabric (cashmere, knit, lightweight wool, fur) Adrienne Landau has got it covered with her raccoon muffler.

Statement Jewelry
While studded and oversize bangles are an option, chunky, bold necklaces are a great alternative. Choices? Designer Anna Ruth Henriques’ Pyrite necklace offers a great chunky metallic feel that’s on-tune with many of the rocker and glam goddess trends for fall. Speaking of trends: Black is very big in jewelry right now! Passman Gallery is right on track with its black coral, 18K gold and cultured pearls necklace. Tournaire's baroque style necklace features amber set in 18K gold and diamonds; it pairs perfectly with the season’s ladylike luxe looks.

Footwear
Boots are definitely a fall essential… from over the knee to ankle, even cowboy and mid-calf! Two footwear powerhouses, Donald J Pliner and Guiseppe Zanotti, both have rocking looks. Pliner’s CCC stretches over the knee, is crepe elastic and comes in red, navy or black, while his Dara makes it to the ankle in grey suede, black leather or calf! Urban warriors can suit up in his lizard textured Dona mid-calf boot. Zanotti’s black suede platform ankle boot with Swarovski crystal stars is bedazzling. Double the star power with the matching black leather and suede clutch! His leather cowboy boots have gold rings; put on the matching leather belt and ride off into the sunset.

Handbags
Today’s women need a handbag to fit their lifestyle. Luckily the selection is vast. On trend? Oversized bags, totes, hobos, satchels, messengers, clutches and duffels with details like removable straps, extra pockets and fashionable hardware. Fullum & Holt has a variety of styles, including an oversized red ribbed clutch. It’ll add a pop of color to a somber palette. Want something more classic? Try their black leather hobo. For a carry all satchel, Donald J Pliner’s Deseri has what it takes.
