Fall 2013 Fashion Trends: Cuts and Layers

Cooler weather is here and wardrobes are making the shift to accommodate crisp temperatures. Purchasing a whole new line of clothes is generally not in the budget for most, so the Bargain Barn has great tips to stay fashion-forward this season without breaking the bank.

It’s all about the angles for fall,” stated Tevlyn Schwerd, Creative Director at the Bargain Barn. “Unique, interesting cuts are what’s in this season.” From boldly asymmetrical sweaters to pieces that are subtly cut, there is an angle for all tastes.

The more reserved might find it intimidating to rock an off-center style- Schwerd says to let multiple pieces tie it together. “The key is layering a pop of color to make it work,” she said. “Use the underpinning piece to help balance.” For those still shy about making the leap, the staff at the store is always available to offer style advice!

Along the line of incorporating color into your apparel this season, keep it in mind for your outerwear. “People tend to think of darker colors for fall,” Schwerd commented. “At the shows, we were seeing color, even in outwear.” With this in mind, the Bargain Barn has colorful coats in store, patterned and solids.

Flyaway cardigans are still very strong this year,” Schwerd continued. In addition to the cardigans, other trends making a comeback are leggings, soft sweaters, and items with details on the back. The store recently brought in a line of fleece-lined leggings in a variety of colors, perfect to keep legs warm on chilly days.

Nepalese items are “timeless” at the Bargain Barn. “It’s more of a lifestyle,” said Schwerd. “A lot of people in this area love the Bohemian look.” The beautiful patterned pieces continue to hold their place at the store, and in the fashion world for fall.

As always, the stock is ever-changing at the Bargain Barn, so you can rock an individual style without looking like your neighbor. Check back in as fall progresses- items on their way to the shelves include a women’s cowboy boot line, hi-top plaid sneakers, other boots and coats, and more!
