Curves ahead ladies! With several seasons of trapeze and flowing silhouettes hiding our waists, it is time to cinch it up. The fall season brings chic shapes and slim styles to create refined and elegant options. This may mean more trips to the gym, but feeling sophisticated and elegant in a structured dress is well worth it.

Floral prints continue to bloom into the pre-fall season. The darker palettes are toned in nightfall shades of blues or filled with colors of a perfect autumn day. No matter the time of year, everyone loves getting a beautiful bouquet.

You don't have to wait until the fall months- transition fashionably into the season with these wear now dresses. Look for lighter knits and cotton/silk blends that will not stifle on warmer days. Once cooler weather arrives, add a pair of tights, cardigan or a light scarf to make the seasonal shift official.

Let the sun set on spring shades of ombre and get the dip-dyed look in the first cooler colors of fall. This shading technique lends itself beautifully to dresses giving each silhouette a unique flow from top to bottom. Dress up the multiple tones with opaque tights for the perfect contrast.

Metallic tones are sweet and subdued with just a slight shimmer this pre-fall season. Forget the full on shine! Shades of silver and grey give just the right amount of illumination while hints of gold emanate an absolutely elegant glow.

Why stop at the dress when it comes to your ensemble. This fall outerwear becomes the choice of the season. Make a unique fashion statement by focusing on the details. Jackets trimmed with fur or covered in pockets look perfect in vibrant hues and bold brights. Go for pleasing pleats or exaggerated sleeves to enhance your look head to toe.

As summer ends and the cold weather begins; we tend to mourn by reaching for black. Well grieve no more ladies! This fall keeps the summer days shining bright with vibrant hues splashed upon outerwear, dresses and knits. Dazzle in a daring red coat or be brilliant in a sunny yellow sweater. Nothing warms you up more than a little color.

Whether your fashion statement is feminine elegance or a playful chic, pleats are the perfect expression on any silhouette. This folded fabric goes beyond the frock and creates flattering details on jackets and skirts too. Twirl in an accordion skirt or sport a pleated bodice combo dress for the ideal pretty look this fall.
