5 Fall Fashion Trends Warm up your wardrobe with these fresh-off-the- runway styles Contrasting Proportions For fall 2014, proportions should be varied. "A great example is pairing an oversized knit sweater with a skinny trouser, or mixing a short jersey-knit crop top with a midi skirt [a skirt that falls to the middle of the calf]," says Heather Hopkins, style spokesperson for Banana Republic. texture Blocking Remember colour blocking? Well, now we're adding texture: geo- metric panels of smooth leather, woven knits, fuzzy felt, silky fur or nubby shearling. If blocking isn't your thing, bringing two or more textures into your outfi t will satisfy the style police. layered Knits Snuggle into layer upon cozy layer of knitwear? You don't have to convince us. Just nothing bulky. When you're layering, knits should be lightweight – or "effortless," as hopkins puts it: "Effortless knits accent every curve and offer a form-fi tted shape." Fur and leather These are timeless, true, but the twist this year is just how often you'll see fur, faux or other- wise, and leather – from fur snoods (tubular scarves) and shearling bomber jackets to leather evening gowns. Big, Bold Prints "Oversize prints such as hounds- tooth and leopard in black and white are easy ways to incorpo- rate a fall fashion moment into your look," says Hopkins. Pair them with metallics for even more on-trend ensembles.
