The Fall Trend Fashion Girls From 20 to 50 Years Old Are Obsessed With
Calling a suit a "trend" does seem a bit odd considering most people think of their suits as timeless wardrobe staples, but it wasn't until a few years ago that suiting finally felt trendy again versus, well, a little tired. Thanks to brands like Tibi, Proenza Schouler, and Bottega Veneta, sharp tailoring and investment-worthy blazers, trousers, and the like are all fashion girls can think about, but this fall 2020 season, things took a turn. When a timeless trend like suiting comes back around, it is common for designers to try to reinvent the wheel in an effort to make things feel fresh again. Now that we've had quite a few seasons of that, they did the opposite.
Instead of highlighting deconstructed blazers, the return of Bermuda shorts, and oversized '80s shoulders, designers kept things simple and highlighted the true integrity of the suit. Show after show, we noted gimmick-free matching suits that looked timeless, effortless, and perfect for women of any age. Which brings me to my next point.
So far, fashion girls from the ages of 20 to 50 years old and then some have been wearing basic fall suits on repeat. And as far as styling goes, the sky is the limit. Be it the addition of a belted on the blazer or a pair of classic sneakers to keep things fresh, cool girls of all ages have proven basic suits are the fall trend to invest in now and forever.
