Fall Fashions

October 14, 2006

Now, I’ll admit I know mostly nothing when it comes to fashion.  But, this Fall, there is one trend that simply can’t be ignored- that’s tinfoil. This versatile, reflective fabric is flattering on almost anyone.  It’s clearly the new craze for Fall.  Take a look....

Here we have the hipster “buck-hunter meets pippie longstocking” cap.

To the left, the classic pointed gnome-hat, and on the right the superhero cuffs.

The headband is always a crowd pleaser.

If this man-jewelry isn’t fashion-forward, I don’t know what is.

With the right accessories, you can even give it a western twist.

Why, even the pets are catching on.

As with any fashion trend, try not to overdo it… This “check out my big-bling earrings” + hat is just too much.  Don’t forget Coco Chanel’s advice-- she said before stepping out for the day, women should have a glance in the mirror and remove one thing from their look.

I know Halloween is just around the corner, but try not to be scary with your foil either.

And btw-- the “Silence of the Lambs” look is soooooo 1991.

If you’re still not convinced that foil is “it” for fall, you should know I spotted this on Project Runway just last week.

And this in some hipster’s closet in the West Village! Well, I guess that’s it for this week’s fashion update.  Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Spring…
