Try wearing a solid-coloured blazer to emphasize monotony and clean lines.

Fall and winter fashion calls for silhouettes, materials and colours that reflect and can take on the cooler temperatures. You may want to take this opportunity to play up your layers and explore mixing colour themes or even patterns together.

This fall clean lines are a huge trend to follow. Usually fall and winter are about slouchier, more relaxed silhouettes and thick knits but there is an emphasis in structure in certain trends this season.

You’ll see this structure in blazers and jackets, plaid patterns and accessories. The great thing about structured silhouettes and themes is that you can style it with a flowy silhouette or a relaxed silhouette to dress things up, keep the outfit interesting and professionalism in some cases. It makes the ensemble look that much more solid, crisp and sharp.

Clean lines this fall isn’t just referring to the silhouette of this season but also in the prints and textures of some of the pieces you can shop for this season. White, cream and black waist length blazers and jackets are a staple to keep in your closet and they come in much more variety than ever.

A classic collar always works but this fall and winter, the jackets are collarless or turned facing in with no closures and have a strong shoulder to finish off. They have a full length or a quarter sleeve, a full length is best if you plan to layer for warmth but a quarter sleeve makes the silhouette that much more sophisticated.

Loose and oversized sweaters this season feature bolder, boxier and distinct plaid prints than usual. It is different than the hipster, Scottish and country plaid. This plaid is distinct, usually only one or two colours, the plaid is larger and sometimes even looking like a cage print. As for accessories, statement necklaces are always in style. Any occasion calls for a short and detailed piece around your neck to emphasize your face.

This season, there is a lot of black and gold detailing, geometric shapes, clean chunky panelled looks. Body chains and hand jewelry is always a great way to add lines to embellish your outfit and hands. It’s all in the details when it comes to working with the pieces of this season into your wardrobe.

This fall and winter season features such great structured themes that can be very easily integrated into your closet. The structured jacket can be a layering piece to the bold and dramatic plaid prints and sweaters underneath while finishing off your outfit with a geometrically inspired statement necklace.

It’s all about balancing your outfit with some bold silhouettes, prints and keeping the outfit focused on the details that you want to emphasize. Putting two bold prints together may be overwhelming so a structured and plain jacket works perfectly to keep the outfit harmonized. The clean lines in statement accessories is also the finishing touch to bring all the themes of your outfit together.
