Fall Fashion Runway Review {Menswear: Burberry Prorsum}

Okay, fellas.  I see I have so shamefully neglected you in our Fall Fashion Features.  Obviously I'm biased to women's wear, but a well-dressed lady looks even better beside a well-dressed man.  And believe it or not, sometimes we like it when you trade in your t-shirt and jeans for something a little more sophisticated.  Today we look to Burberry Prorsum for just that.  The Fall collection featured structured silhouettes, the classic button-up, straight leg pants, and form fitting sweaters complemented by an edge of ruggedness in the form of major boots and strong statement outwear.
The overall theme: Military.  Here are the looks that marched down the runway...

Hard-edged Army Inspired Jackets

 

Serious outwear, notice the fur, for battling any kind of weather

 

And ornamental epaulets fit for any decorated uniform on jackets to sweaters

Found on the feet of nearly every model were major boots that might as well have been lace-up combats.  And don't forget, a great boot would only be complete with the right footwear (all-weather socks for sure)- I bet these studs are prepared for any obstacle, and if not, at least they look the part.

Fall Fashion Runway Review: Tory Burch

Tory Burch layered on the legwear in fun, textured brights for a vibrant, youthful look.

She showed us how to transition with ease pairing heathered tights with chic shorts for a downtown cool vibe.

And showcased her signature sophistication with basic legwear under classic skirts and dresses with feathered flair!  

Breaking news from the Wall Street Journal...

"Move Over Jeans Diapers. Skinny Jeans and Jeggings for Babies?"

{via}

What?  That's right folks!  The baby jegging is here and whatever may be lurking in that stroller cruising (or shall way say strutting) down the sidewalk just might be more on-trend than you.  The baby jeg has been spotted at the Gap, J.Crew, and even Ralph Lauren and is fast becoming a trend for all ages.  If I had the baby bug (which may be years away), or a baby for that matter (which may be as far as decades away), I must admit there would definitely be a mini-me running around rockin', or at least crawlin', the skinny.  For more on the baby jeg see here and here!

Who wants to go Nude?

The last time I checked flesh colored tights were a relic of the past, something you could only spot on the dowdy and those frozen in fashion's past.  The last time I spotted such a pair was on a particularly muggy, stifling day under a pair of jeans shorts.  Jean shorts for gosh sake's?!  Could you think of anything more uncomfortable?  But according to Allure and Fashion My Legs, nude is becoming a necessity.  "Retailers report that sales of natural shades in general have soared" and celebrities from the likes of SJP to Beyoncé have been spotted rockin' the nude.  Even France's First Lady, Carla Bruni, (former supermodel turned sultry songstress) has taken note.  Who knew nude could be new again?  Will you be going nude this Fall?

Fall Fashion Runway Review: Betsey Johnson

 At Betsey Johnson, it was all about fishnets, fishnets, fishnets. The designer who's known for her funky, playful designs layered on the prints, patterns, and pop colors from pink to red and yellow!  Hats, belts, scarves, gloves, and booties all played a part in the fun.  Hemlines were high and low from short shorts to long dresses and the models kept the vibe fresh and high in energy!  Are you going to rock out fishnets this Fall?  Betsey is!
