Complete Guide to Fall 2017 Fashion Trends from The Runway

Image
London Fashion Week displayed so many different fashion trends, as the years go on there are so many to see that we can often get lost in the trends of that year. On the runway, this September was all sorts of fancy, and casual outfits fit for anyone who is willing to try them. Fall 2017 fashion trends range from washed-out denim shorts to shorter, floral skirts. It’s so exciting to see the fashion industry grow to what it is now and even beyond that point. Fall is a season that can be confusing in terms of what to wear and what not to wear. Often the days are too cold for skirts and shorts but they’re too warm for scarves and thick woollen socks.

Ill-fitting shoulders, trailing hems, sleeves that are too long, frequent trips to the tailor for much-needed alterations—the list goes on. The good news is, many clothing brands now carry petite sizes, and there are a few good stores that specialize in petite outfits. Clothing that is specifically designed for petite sizes will often have shorter sleeves and narrower shoulders to fit the petite woman’s smaller frame. When shopping for dresses, choose one that flatters your body shape. Find styles that add an illusio...
