Fall and winter fashion don’t always mean heritage plaids and chunky jumpers. In fact, this season, designers are providing those whimsical fashion trends that are the future, and tasteful lingerie is literally blowing up all of social media with a bang! When I say, “tasteful lingerie,” I mean it-metallic, feathers, stretchy materials with added comfort for everybody shape, that you have ever seen. With fashion changing at the blink of an eye, it helps to see what is going on in the social media scene.  |

The biggest blow up is how tasteful lingerie has become rather classily sexy when worn right. Think of the early 1990s, you don’t have to be born in that decade to appreciate vintage styles reappearing on our backs. It is fashions way of saying I am an oldie but goodie and I happen to be making an appearance this season.
When it comes to lingerie, which trends are worth paying close attention to and which ones are worth ignoring right now? As it turns out, I can help you narrow down the important holiday lingerie trends down to just four styles that are worth investing in, according to me an advocate chic insider.
Just because you see it blowing up online doesn’t necessarily mean it is good to buy it. One thing is for sure, don’t ever get sucked into a style because you see it everywhere. Make sure it is something that not only fits your lifestyle, but is worth the splurge.
From the revival of the slip dress to the rise of the corsets to the trends of wearing bras as tops, there are plenty of hot pieces to add to your wardrobe at the moment and different innovative ways to wear them. Ahead, check out the four lingerie trends that will be huge over the holidays this year, and are already blowing up the social scene. Shop my edit of pieces to add to your closet.
Wearing Bras as Tops

Whether you are all for this look or not, think Madonna in the early 80s and 90s. You can’t deny how sexy this style can look and how surprisingly versatile as well. You can wear a bra as a top with a jacket or under a see-through blouse for a more tasteful approach.

More people are not just buying plain lingerie anymore. Pieces that have added extras, like lace, metallic, or crystals are definitely sought after for those oh so special occasions.
Slips as dresses

Think early 1995, when slip silky dresses were the perfect going out dress after work. Well now, slips are being worn as dresses and done in such a fun way. After work, those cocktails are flowing and the silky material adds some zest to your look.
Comfort Fashion

A lot of people like comfort. And when it comes to lingerie, many brands are making materials easier to wear while still having that stylish edge. Sustainable materials are really huge and why not feel comfy while looking your most devastating.

Transitioning your wardrobe between seasons can be a tricky task. You aren’t quite ready to put away your summer dresses, but as the weather gets cooler and the months get shorter, it’s tempting to dust off your favourite must have pieces you’ve been waiting to wear. To help bridge the divide between seasons, I’m highlighting the best transitional outfits to help you master your look no matter the forecast.
From the best layering combinations, to smart outfit pairings you’ll desire to wear over and over again, you will be prepared to transition from spring to winter clothing and look so chic in the process. So, whether you’re throwing these outfits together with what you already own or you’re adding a staple or two to the rotation, you’ll be all set for the months to come.
Curious to check out my favourite transitioning piece for fall outfit combinations? Read on for a chance to see and shop them all!
Leather leggings-Polished but still with a little edge, layering with a sharp coat makes you look perfect for a city look with sophistication.
 |
| SHOP Leather Leggings |
Toasty Jumper- You don't have to be boring when it comes to a cosy jumper. You can dress this style up easily and wear it casual with ease.
 |
| Lulus SHOP |
Tall Boots- You are not only keeping your feet warm for the changing seasons, but you look so hot in the process.
 |
| Lulus SHOP |
Top Handle Bags- Top handle bags are so chic. They go with any outfit and can really make your casual dressy look even more incredible. If you love a bold tone, go with a pop of colour.
Jewellery- Now is the time of year too stack, stack, and stack some more! Why not be gaudy? it is fun and Uber chic. Jewellery can really make a casual look even more spectacular.
Corduroy Jacket- I love olive green it has such a fun fall look, but you can still wear it all month long. Style it with a pair of jeans and you are street style royalty.

What is your favourite transition piece for fall?

As many designer’s place sustainability at the forefront of their practice, there’s been an overwhelming return of simplicity. While I’m not talking about a blackout on all things fanciful and decorative, What I have noticed is a return to some staples emerging across New York, London, Paris, and Milan. As the message of “buy less; buy better” gets repeated across the board.

The one thing I’m most excited to see is people’s take in the city of what simplistic staples mean in their closet. With fall being the most fun time of year, it is no wonder we are heading out with our winter coats and lattes in hand. Ready to take on fall? You bet we are and it is best to do it in the best style staples possible. Personally, I love fall. The cooler weather, the new styles arriving in stores, and of course the too cool for school attitude that echoes across the city.

Hardly a stranger to the catwalk, can ignore pieces that will be forever mounted in your mindful wardrobe in your head. That so chic piece that you just can’t take your eyes off as each model struts down the runway with ease. Designers are always trying to reinvent a classic. Or take on a new light but honestly, it is better when it can fit into your life and be functional while still maintaining style.
If your like me, and your wanting to get more wear out of your wardrobe, the best place to start is my guide to the 5 Staple Pieces you need to look your best for fall.
1.) Faux Fur Coat
Doesn’t matter your personal style. A faux fur winter coat is not only a classic in itself, but it can really take your outfit from basic too hot in seconds. There is something glamour’s and mysterious about a fur coat that has our tongues wagging strong.
2.) Blazer
I feel a blazer is a classic staple for any season. But when it comes to fall and winter, you can throw this over a jumper and call it a day. Not only will you look sophisticated and sleek but you can get so much use from work day to night life.
3.) Puffer Jacket
You may not feel a big puffy jacket is feminine, but that is where you are wrong. When dressed right with the proper boots and jeans you can look like a French style editor in minutes. I love how casual this jacket can be, yet you can also look very dressy and beautiful.
4.) Shoulder Bag
A bag is the perfect accessory to really complete your whole look. Without the chicest bag than you end up looking incomplete. For this season, it just makes sense to feel put together and this does the job.
5.) Boots
You can always rock boots. With a skirt, dress, leggings, jeans. But when it comes to fall boots are the best way to keep your feet toasty warm while you have a good time in the style scene.
Below are more staple pieces for fall you can shop.

You’ve probably said it before, too. “I’m not a fan of certain trends here.” It is an easy explanation for not being totally on board, and that is typically an excuse for any kind of jewellery that I am just not head over heels over. In this case, I am making an exception when it comes to romance. Pearl necklaces are absolutely breath-taking. The simplicity and elegance is what draws us in and makes us fall passionately.
This is also the case when it comes to infinity jewellery that makes you just feel oh so complete. Something that is worth its weight in gold, silver, and anything that sparkles.
Icons like Grace Kelly have their stamp of approval with beautiful, classic proper taste. But when it comes to today’s fashion, things have truly changed. And thanks to what I have been spotting on social media, and across New York City Fashion Week, I find myself obsessed with these hot and spicy accessories. Let me explain exactly why these pieces are unique.
Specifically, I’m referring to a huge up rise in the popularity of baroque styles-a more unusual shape that feels modern and timeless at the same time. The range and approach is very cool and what makes this even more bold, is the attention to influencing culture within the shapes and glamour.
When it comes to special occasions, like weddings, anniversaries, or just one of those days where you want to buy yourself something special. The gift of romance through a gleaming pearl necklace is the ideal choice. It not only goes with everything. But you can wear it casually and dress it up for a polished appearance. I love how well made these accessories are and how I can picture any woman with one. The diversity of these items is what makes it truly one of a kind.
