So, you’ve scored the invite to celebrate Thanksgiving this year with your boyfriend and his family. With the excitement and anxiety that comes with the invite also comes the dilemma of what to wear. You want to look classic, feel comfortable, and exude confidence all the while wowing them. At FPD, we solved the dilemma of getting dressed by offering a few options to help you look your best, so you can focus on baking the most delicious pumpkin pie they’ve ever tasted!

The Dress

You can truly wear a dress to almost any event. Sheath dresses are timeless and reliable. Remember to steer clear of of ones too short and too tight! Save that for the club, not the “meet the parents” moment. For fall, we favor a sweater dress or a shirtdress with tights. Determine whether or not the affair is normally casual or more formal to decipher between heels, wedges, flats, or flat boots.

Fall/Winter Fashion Week 2011: Prabal Gurung & Alexander Wang

Prabal Gurung:

Prabal Gurung’s F/W 2011 collection showed that he is not afraid to push the boundaries of his own design aesthetic. The collection had an “undone” quality but still was red carpet worthy. There was a multitude of midi lengths and rigorous fits that kept well with the “undone” quality of the collection. Degrade furs were echoed by the colored streaks in the models hair and off-shoulder sheath dresses were shown between floor length bias cut chiffon gowns. The collection proved that Prabal Gurung has been able, thus far, to successfully push his design margins.

Alexander Wang:

Alexander Wang’s sexy, cool, tough girl attitude that has built his brand, was returned to the runway this season with a heightened sense of luxury. Smart split-up-the-side navy knits were paired with glitter drainpipe jeans. There was also unique cocoon like outwear that was original, but still wearable. The aim of Wang’s collection was to evolve his voice from his signature of slouch and jersey, found in his lower-priced pieces. He accomplished this with hand knitted chunky knits, needle punched appliqué, and the use of finer fabrics, such as silk. Wang also experimented with hybrids of more standard designs, like a blazer turned fur coat and a tuxedo jacked with puffer sleeves.

Perry Ellis Fall 2009 Presentation

by fashionpulse

The best way to describe Perry Ellis’ Fall 2009 menswear presentation in the fewest amount of words? Clothes for the dream boyfriend. The Perry Ellis team designs for a guy with style and confidence, a guy who doesn’t back down from a pair of plaid pants or an argyle sweater (though not together of course) and more than that, totally rocks the look. Layering was key to the presentation; suit jackets were worn over vests while blazers were worn over round or v-neck sweaters, with both looks featuring crisp collared shirts as the base layer. Jeans and pants were perfectly tailored, patterned sweaters came in mature colors such as Venetian red, burnt sienna, tan, navy, black, and charcoal (which kept them from ever looking grandpa-ish), and loose-knit lounge sweaters looked comfortable but classy.

Perry Ellis is definitely taking the current economy into account—a new, black, polyurethane faux-leather jacket was a key part of the presentation. What amazed me about this jacket, besides the fact that it’s a mere $80 (a steal when compared to its real, $400 counterpart), is that it not only looks unbelievably real, it also feels as soft and pliable as real leather. I would love to throw this jacket on over evening wear on unpredictably chilly nights, which means I’ve got to find a Perry Ellis dream guy from which too steal it ASAP…
