I had a chance to talk to Maureen Brady Weir, Senior Marketing Director at Springfield Mall to get a glimpse of where fashion is going this season. Read on for all the trends and where you can find them at the mall.
Fall will be an interesting season for fashion according to Weir.
This season you will see the 80s style with fashion forward hint of the 70s. Colors are bright neon, purples and blues. Jeans were never so popular, though denim never goes away, the colored jean is here. Express and New York and Company are showing off jeans in colors and in loud prints. You can even find them in animal prints.
The skinny jean is still in and it doesn’t matter what your shape and size, they are cut and made in materials that are suitable for everyone.
Puffed sleeves are accenting the peasant look and blouses this season. Blazers are longer this year and you can wear bright colors for fun or classic plaids, blacks and browns. With the return of the blazer, comes the return of brooches. Pencil skirts are coming back to it’s a throwback to the classic conservative look of the 80s. Pumps with be pointier and boots will worn with chunkier heels. You can find these looks at Express, Macys, the Loft and New York and Company
Chunky bracelets, woven wicker handbags and tribal back packs are all the rage. You can find them with an American Indian influence at Justice or Target. Neon sneakers are in; Journeys, Hot Topic, Wet Seal or Charlotte Russe have just the looks to bring back the 80’s punk style making it new.
Leggings are still big. Weir predicts you will see them continue to be a hot item in animal prints, bright colors and lots of patterns.
The Pink collection is still big at Victoria Secret along with NFL wear for women. Its football season and you still want to look like a girl. A new format is coming to Springfield Mall so keep your eyes open. Weir said it will be very exciting and is only now happening at their store in Hamilton, NJ.
The Bomber Jacket and leathers have made a comeback. At the mall, Macy’s would be the right place to find the right jacket.
Scarves continue to be a hot item. Worn with a sweater or jacket the scarf is still big. V- Neckline sweaters are coming back and are longer. The cardigan is still around.
For the younger set who want to look hip check out Crazy 8, the Children’s Place and Gymboree.
“There is a little bit of everything this season and you can find it here, “said Weir.
