Fall Fashion Runway Review {Menswear | DKNY}

DKNY kept true to its brand image and delivered a collection that was both city and chic.

 

 It was all about the layering with dressed up hoodies under blazers and over button-ups

 An array of army chic colors ran the show from khakis to greys in straight-edged silhouettes to combat worthy socks

 

 And as for any urbanite, a bit of the unexpected came into play with bright pops of color

A Well-Seasoned Traveler's Necessity | Leggings

Have you ever sat on a plane for hours wondering why you chose that certain pair of jeans that require wiggling around on the floor like a moron just to get the zipper up?  Have you ever tried to undo that first button or tug at a belt loop while no one is looking in order to pull the denim over the muffin top that wearing a size too small produces. And as you get busted by your too close for comfort neighbor, do you find yourself wondering why you chose fashion over comfort when you could have had both?  LEGGINGS are my go-to bottoms for fabulous in-flight fashion and just in case you have jet-setting plans for this long weekend, here are a few other items you'll want to check off your list!

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!

"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!
