What' New for Fall Fashion? (1)

The fall season is here with its new styles

Autumn is finally here! The hot summer weather is finally a little bit cooler. It's time to put away your summer clothes and bring out the fall fashions. What is popular this fall?

Popular styles
This fall, the plaid print has gone wild. After a season of bright colors, designers are bringing back plaid in plain colors. Plaid suits, skirts and sweaters are appearing in gray and black.

Perhaps you like to wear sweaters. This fall, the tight-knit sweater covers more than just your upper body.

Pants and dresses are also appearing in sweater knits. Why not dress in style and wrap yourself in a large sweater?

Or maybe you like to wear your clothes one size too big. Loose-fitting pants, sweaters and coats have also hit the runway. Styles like the miniskirt with knee-high boots are also showing up.

Some popular colors to watch for include dark red, yellow and blue. Lighter shades of pink and peach will also appear.
