5 Fall Trends You Can Wear at Home

How can anyone think about a dress when a virus is spreading and people are being quarantined around the world, trading all manner of freedoms for loafing around in pajamas instead? “The hardest part is to keep calm in the eye of the storm,” said Marine Serre, a designer who has found boundless inspiration in the darkness of this world... “It’s quite stormy right now, yet we have to see a future in that. It’s about finding ourselves there—understanding it and embracing it.” - Vogue

As this pandemic continues, many of us are at home much more often than we were before. We stay at home, or work at home, and leave only to stock up on the essentials.

​If that's true for you, as well, then fall trends may not mean the same thing to you this year. But it might be fun to participate from home.

Not with runway or street style, but with more comfy versions that you can wear at home.

And here are a few reasons it might be worth it to have fun with fall fashion, if that's what you usually do...

(1) It returns a little of the normal to what has been a most un-normal experience.

(2) Having one or two new things to wear may help to alleviate boredom & the sense of one day just blending into the next. Also, you can have fun with mixing up new outfit & color combinations.

(3) What you wear reminds you who you are. When everything changes, it can be easy to feel a little lost or discombobulated.

​Wearing things that feel like you may help you feel grounded again.

Have a look at five possibilities and see what you think...

5 Fall Trends for 2020

(1) Floral Prints - these might be good in neck scarves (I have several) or kimonos or tops.

(2) Animal Print - I have seen some lovely cardigans in cheetah and leopard prints.

(3) Checks & Plaid - these might be good for tops, leggings, pants. Or even casual dresses.

(4) Geometric Prints & Patterns - these can be fun in tops, or scarves.

(5) Stripes - you can find stripes in just about everything right now. Even shoes. So whatever you are looking for, you can find a striped one. :)

And, as an aside, for those days when you must go out, here are two fall outerwear trends for fall - houndstooth or tweed blazers and capes.
