Ten Fall Trends and How to Wear Them

SEQUINS, STUDS, METALLICS, and SPARKLE
If you thought you were familiar with embellishments six months ago, watch out, because there's apparently a lot more where spring's studded-and-sequined trend came from. Gleaming studs, in particular, seem to be everywhere-especially on handbags, jackets, and shoes. A touch of evening sparkle (maybe a glittery tank or a panel of gem stones on a skirt) has now made its way into daywear, as if it was the most natural thing in the world to wear a disco-inspired jacket with gray slacks to brunch. Much like the rest of fall's "rebel wear," however, the glitter comes with an edge: Ripped jean pockets get a row of studs, while sequined harem pants are paired with a slouchy white tank and a beat-up biker jacket.
