The Full Story: Expand Your Wardrobe This Fall/Winter with These Roomy Silhouettes

Perhaps it’s the evolution of the ‘boyfriend’ look, or the early 90s making a formidable fashion comeback (or the combination of both), but it’s easy to see that the shape of clothing for fall speaks volumes, and quite literally. From the waist through the ankle, pants are becoming more relaxed in fit, while tops and dresses are taking the liberty to balloon out in all directions.

All sorts of ruching details, such as pleating and gathering, have surfaced in order to reign in the superfluous shapes, while other accents, such as ripping and tearing, encourage the fabrics to flow freely. There may be some trepidation with committing to a new shape, but we at FPD will help you navigate by sharing how to style this spacious silhouette.

With the summer season coming quickly, bright colors and vibrant prints are becoming go-to looks for effortless warm weather style. For the past few spring seasons, tropical prints have been a prevalent trend in both clothing and accessories, and this spring is no different. Utilizing palm leaf designs, or rather oversized, gorgeously-splayed frond prints are an easy way to get into the spring or rather, tropical spirit, and luckily, there are more than enough options to choose from to channel this look. Try pairing these Target Palm Print Palazzo Pants with a simple top for an effortless, casual day out. For a slightly more formal feel, try Forever 21’s Contemporary Off the Shoulder Dress, or Asos.com Pink Palm Print Maxi Dress. In the accessories department, be sure to check out the Sonix Clear Bahama iPhone Case, or this oversized beach tote in a similar print, available online at etsy.com.
