Fall 2023 Fashion Trends: Sewing for a Stylish Season
Hey there, fabulous fashionistas! 🍁✨
The leaves are falling, the pumpkin spice lattes are brewing, and it's time to dive headfirst into the world of fall fashion. You know what that means, right? It's sewing season, baby! So, grab your sewing machines, channel your inner fashion guru, and let's embark on a fabulous sewing adventure.
Runway Magic: Where We Found Our Inspiration
You know how we do it here at A Sewing Voyage – we take inspiration from the big leagues. So, what did I do? I sat down, sipped some herbal tea, and binge-watched runway shows from the creme-de-la-creme fashion houses: Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Dolce and Gabbana, YSL, Valentino, Chloe, and Versace. 📺💃
The top contenders that stole my heart? Hold on to your sewing needles because we're diving right in!
Bottega Veneta: Earrings, Boots, and Leather Galore
First things first, let's talk accessories. Have you seen the viral drop earrings that all of the stars - like Kylie and Hailey Bieber - are wearing? Fabulous! Although these earrings are far out of my price range - a girl can dream, right? And those Canalazzo Over the Knee Boots in white with padded Intrecciato material? I. Am. In. Love. It's like my sewing dreams just got a fresh pair of legs! And don't even get me started on the leather trenches. Specifically, the Oversized Fit Embossed Leather Coat in Henna – it's giving me life!
Versace: Dresses That Wow and Bold Gold Bling
Versace knows how to make a statement. Their dresses are straight-up fire, especially the Knotted Backless Long Dress. Hello, va-va-voom! And have you seen the bold gold jewelry trend? Cuffs, chokers, and earrings, oh my! I’m especially loving the Crystal Chain Bracelet - so I’m hoping to find a dupe!
Alexander McQueen: Shapes, Necklines, and Originality
McQueen always brings the drama. The Double Breasted Tailored Mini Dress is a masterpiece. It's like it was designed just for you, darling! I can't get enough of the unique shapes and necklines they're dishing out this season.
Mood Board Madness: Where Fashion Dreams Meet Reality
Let's get personal! My mood board is like a collision of runway dreams and my everyday life. Think tailored straight-leg jeans with a light wash, cozy sherpa jackets, and chunky gold jewelry. I'm talking bangles and hoop earrings that scream, "I woke up like this!" You'll also find knitted sweaters and sweater dresses, matching workout sets in classic brown/tan hues, warm brown puffy coats and vests, and fitted tanks with warm sweatpants for those relaxed vibes. And don't even get me started on platform Uggs!
Fall Fashion Staples: What's on My Sewing List
Alright, let's get down to business. Here's the deal – I've got some sewing projects that are hotter than a cup of cocoa on a chilly autumn night.
First Pair of Jeans: I'm 5'8", and finding jeans that fit is a challenge. But this season, I'm taking on the ambitious project of sewing my very first pair of jeans. I’m still searching for a good jeans pattern, so if you know of one leave me a comment below!
Fitted Dress Shirt Dress: Thrifted men's dress shirt? Check. Black leather thigh-high boots? Check. I'm hoping to transform that hand me down shirt into a cute, wearable dress.
Turtleneck Dress: Perfect for errands or the office, I want to whip up a versatile dress that'll make getting dressed on those chilly mornings a breeze.
Sweatpants: Yes, you read that right. Kim K, eat your heart out. I'm recreating her signature look with sweatpants, a baby tee, chunky sneakers, and glam hair/makeup. Plus, they're perfect for cozy movie nights or hitting the gym.
