Fall 2008 Trend: Minimalism

Filed in archive Outerwear , Trends on July 30, 2008

I know it's too hot to start thinking about sweaters, boots and coats, but before you know it, Fall will be here. I always equate Fall with that monster edition of Vogue magazine that takes me weeks to go through. You can leisurely haul your copy out every evening after work, sit with your beverage of choice and flip through glossy page after glossy page of what's "in" for Fall.

One Fall 2008 trend I'm excited about is Minimalism. Certain designers seem to stick with this concept no matter what the trends are - even when a season calls for opulence, Calvin Klein isn't going to stick a bunch of feathers and brocade on a jacket and call it a day. Thank goodness!

This Calvin Klein wrap coat from Nordstrom falls right in line with the clean, minimalist concept of Fall fashion. Even if minimalism isn't your thing, you can spice up this coat with a colorful scarf and/or gloves. It's all about adapting the trends to suit your particular style.
