VeLVeT EVERYTHING FALL F A S H I O N TReNDS 1 1 set the stage for stellar style By victor andrews

M aking a statement in fall fashion is a simple process with a bounty of looks ready for women and men. even the trees make a statement about their appearance, so stylish New Orleanians will follow suit. Textures, silhouettes and optical interests are headlining the offerings for the trend-setter on the go. Look for a broad range of fabrics to herald the coming winter, with traditional wool be- ing joined with velvet, patent leather, cash- mere and natural-fiber blends showing their wares. Signature gray plaids are becoming an all- important look du jour, a versatile mainstay of autumnal attire. Temperate temperatures are often proponents of vested outwear, particularly in the mens- wear realm. but attire for her won’t be left out of the sleeveless appeal of a quilted vest or zipper-front cashmere sweater, paired with a bold turtle-neck, tee or even silk blouse. Fall looks are making their presence known in Crescent City stores, from local boutiques to retail leaders like Dillard's. Take a look and see what you "fall" for…it will be love at first sight.
