Sporty Stripes With Tribal Sportswear: Your Capsule Wardrobe In Key Fall Colors

Posted in New Arrivals by

From Work To Weekend With Confidence

Color is everything this season — and the Sporty Stripes With Tribal Sportswear collection lets you build a capsule wardrobe around three of the most stylish, Pantone-approved fall hues: Lemongrass, Lyon Blue, and Crown Blue.

Here’s how we put it all together: cozy pieces, polished silhouettes, and versatile styling so you can go from work to weekend with confidence.

What’s Inside the Collection

Sweaters & Tops

  • Three sweaters: think warm stripes, soft knits, luxe textures
  • Two thermal style tops with bold stripes that pop
  • A color-block sweater with delicate detailing + bell sleeves for flair
  • A blouse with bell sleeves + embroidered detail for a touch of boho

Bottoms

  • Tribal Sportswear’s Flatten It Slack in navy — flattering fit, great for professional days
  • Charlie B Charlotte Wide Leg Jean — structure + flow
  • Tribal Sportswear Slate Blue Wide Leg Twill Pant — a perfect neutral with a twist

Layer + Accessories

  • The Classic Denim Jacket from Liverpool for layering — casual but elevated
  • HOBO’s Pier Handbag and Spark Double Eye Glass Case in Peacock Feather for texture & color contrast
  • Jewelry from Kendra Scott: Adeline Necklace, Mini Elisa necklace (in Lapis), and the Mini Elisa Hoop with Turquoise & Lapis — all in antique gold

Why It Works So Well

This collection is built to give you mix & match power. You can pull together:

  • Business professional looks with the Flatten It slack + blouse + denim jacket
  • Business casual or dress-up casual with the wide leg jean + sweater
  • Travel ready & church/out with friends style that’s polished but comfortable

Every piece is meant to be interchangeable — handful of tops, few bottoms, layering pieces, and accessories to tie it together.

What Makes These Colors Stand Out

  • Lemongrass brings freshness — a hint of green that works beautifully with navy or blues
  • Lyon Blue & Crown Blue add depth — perfect for denim, jackets, or accents
  • Antique gold & Peacock Feather (accessory tones) complement these colors beautifully

Shop Smart + Style Tips

  1. Start with a neutral bottom (e.g., navy wide leg or Charlotte jean), then pick one bold striped top or blouse to pair.
  2. Use the denim jacket or the color-block sweater to add visual interest and dimension.
  3. Accessorize with gold jewelry and a statement handbag for polish.
  4. Mix textures: waffle knits, twill, denim — it adds richness.

Can’t make it live? No worries—you can always catch the replay on our YouTube Channel, where I’ve posted all of our past episodes on everything from dressing your body type to choosing your best colors, styling tips after 40, and so much more.

Tonight, we’re diving into one of my favorite topics—accessories! This season’s trends are playful, bold, and designed to completely refresh your look. Accessories are one of the easiest (and most affordable!) ways to stay on trend, so let’s talk about the must-haves you’ll want in your closet this year:

✨ Statement Earrings

Kendra Scott Kaitlin Earring is a large, bold hoop

Big, bold, and impossible to ignore—this season your earrings should do the talking. Think chunky gold and silver hoops, whimsical bow shapes, and the always classic (but on-trend) pearls. They instantly add polish to any outfit.

✨ Quilted Everything

We’re not just talking jackets—quilting is everywhere this season, even on denim. But the star of this trend is handbags. Picture your favorite puffy vest turned into a chic statement bag—that’s the look.

✨ Cowboy Boots

The Western Chic trend continues strong, and cowboy boots are getting a dressy makeover. Watch for embroidery, metallic shimmer, bold color-blocking, and even hardware details. They’re fun, fashion-forward, and wearable well beyond the rodeo.

✨ Ballet Flats

Your feet will thank you for this one—ballet flats are back in a big way. Look for modern updates like square toes, bows, and metal hardware that take the classic work shoe to stylish new heights.

✨ Interactive Bags

If you’ve ever loved cuddling into a cozy chenille sweater, you’ll love this trend. Textured handbags are big this season, with soft fabrics and fun charms like tassels and add-ons that make your bag feel almost interactive—like fashion that’s fun to touch. Also look for printed straps as a way to personalize your handbag.

✨ Slouchy Vibes

Above are pictured the Pier handbag from HOBO in Peacock Feather and Rust as well as the Harley Handbag in Dark Elm. Find these bags in our HOBO Collection –

Slouchy handbags and boots are the perfect companions to your soft knits this season. They bring a relaxed yet stylish feel that looks effortless while staying on trend.

🧵 Fall/Winter 2025 Fabric Trends You Need in Your Closet

Image from TrendLines Fall/Winter 2025 – Boutique Hub

Fashion lovers, we’ve talked about color trends and style trends for the upcoming season—and if you missed those videos, you can catch the replays anytime on our YouTube channel. 💻

Tonight at 6 p.m. MST, join me live on Facebook for Wednesday Wardrobing Live as we dive into the must-know fabric trends for Fall/Winter 2025.

These are the key prints and textures you’ll be seeing everywhere this season—and how to style them to keep your wardrobe fresh, current, and on-trend. 🍂

🐍 Snake Prints

Animal prints are back in a big way, and snake print is leading the charge. A little goes a long way—think handbags, shoes, or belts for an edgy accent. If a full snake print blouse or skirt feels intimidating, start small with accessories to ease into this bold trend.

🧣 Tartan & Plaids

Classic tartan and cozy plaid patterns are fall staples, showing up on shackets, oversized shirts, scarves, and even coats. To keep the look polished, let your plaid piece be the star—layer it over neutral basics and solid colors.

✨ Velvet

Few fabrics say “holiday season” like velvet. This year, it’s showing up on everything from blazers to dresses. Soft, plush, and undeniably luxe, velvet instantly adds richness and depth to your look—perfect for the festive months ahead.

♟️ Gingham

gingham is traditionally seen in summer, but it’s getting a cold-weather makeover. Look for gingham in blouses layered under cardigans or blazers, or as subtle accent pieces that bring a playful check to your winter layers.

⚪ Polka Dots

Timeless and fun, polka dots add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe. This season, they’re making a statement in black-and-white combinations on blouses and skirts—and they’ll stay strong into Spring 2026.

🤠 Western Denim

Western-inspired details are everywhere in denim right now. Look for yoke backs, pearl snaps, and contrast stitching on shirts and jeans. Style them with fringe, leather, and chunky sweaters to nail the modern cowboy-cool vibe.

🌼 70’s Prints

Bright, bold, and psychedelic, 1970s-inspired prints are having a moment. Think groovy swirls, geometric patterns, and vibrant color combos—perfect for anyone who loves a playful, statement-making look.

🧥 Faux Fur

faux fur is roaring back this season! Expect long, dramatic fur coats on the runway and in stores. Not ready to commit to a full coat? Try touches of faux fur on collars, cuffs, or trim for a subtle nod to this cozy-glam trend.

💛 Want to see all these trends up close?
Join me tonight at 6 p.m. MST live on Facebook for our Wednesday Wardrobing Live where I’ll be showing you real-life examples of these fabric trends styled with pieces from our store. You can also watch the replay on our YouTube channel anytime.

How to Transition Your Wardrobe Without Losing Your Cool (Literally or Figuratively)

As August winds down and schedules ramp back up, it’s time to shift gears—from lazy summer mornings to packed planners and pumpkin-spiced everything. But just because the routine is back doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to be boring. In fact, it’s the perfect excuse to refresh your closet with pieces that are equal parts functional and fabulous.

This week at Fashion Crossroads], we’re loving all the stylish new arrivals from Charlie B and Foxcroft, brands that know how to do transitional dressing right. Whether you’re heading into the office, school drop-off, or just trying to look like you didn’t get dressed in the dark, we’ve got you covered.

🍂 Let’s Talk Fall Transition

1. Flared Jeans Are Back, Baby
Yes, Gen X—you can wear flares again (and look amazing doing it)! The flared leg jean is making a comeback, and we are here for it. It’s flattering, leg-lengthening, and pairs perfectly with your favorite wedges now, or ankle boots later. Try them with one of our new lightweight sweaters for a look that’s chic but never try-hard.

2. Cropped Wide Leg Twill Pants
These pants are chef’s kiss for transitional dressing. Breezy enough for August heat when paired with sandals, and easy to pair with a 3/4 length boot as temps drop. We love them with a tucked-in tee and a layered necklace stack for now, then with a light weight sweater or structured Foxcroft blouse and loafers for fall.

3. Lightweight Sweaters = Your Secret Weapon
Not quite ready for pumpkin patches and chunky knits? Enter the lightweight sweater. It adds polish without bulk and is perfect for cool mornings and air-conditioned offices. We’ve got fresh styles in seasonless colors—great now, better later.

4. Foxcroft Blouses in Fall-Forward Colors
These beauties are made in breathable 100% cotton or cotton blends, so you’ll stay cool while looking like you’re fully embracing fall. Rich jewel tones and classic black and navy give off autumn vibes without trapping heat. Wear them now with polished capris, and later with slacks or denim. Style tip: Roll the sleeves for a relaxed early-fall look, then button them down when the breeze kicks in.

💡 Style Shortcuts for Busy Mornings

  • Pre-plan your outfit the night before—Bonus points if it includes a versatile piece like a Foxcroft blouse or cropped twill pant.
  • Embrace the “uniform” mindset: Have 3 go-to outfit combos that always work—like flare jeans + sweater + pendant necklace or blouse + cropped pants + loafers.
  • Layer with intention: Keep a neutral cardigan or blazer by the door. Instant polish.
  • Accessorize in 60 seconds: Statement earrings or a layered necklace stack can make anything look pulled together.
  • Don’t fight the weather: Think “seasonal color, summer weight.” Darker cotton blouses give you that fall feeling without the sweat.

Final Thought:
Back-to-school may be for the kids, but back-to-routine is for all of us. Let’s make it stylish. Join us tonight at 6 p.m. MST on Facebook or Instagram Live for Wednesday Wardrobing—I’ll be showing off these new arrivals and how to wear them now and next.

Key Accessory Trends For Fall 2024

Posted in fall fashion trends by

Key Accessory Trends for Fall 2024

Fall is here, and it’s time to revamp your wardrobe with the latest accessories to complement the season’s hottest styles. Accessories are the perfect way to elevate your look, add personality, and stay on-trend without breaking the bank. In our final live video of the Wednesday Wardrobing Series: Fall Trends, I’ll be covering everything you need to know about the key accessory trends for women this fall. This series has already covered color, style, and fabric trends, and you can catch those previous videos in our Fall Trends Playlist on YouTube.

Here are the must-have accessories for Fall 2024 and how you can style them to create looks that stand out:

Key Accessory Trends for Fall 2024:

  • Statement Belts
    Belts are making a huge comeback this fall. Whether it’s wide or skinny, buckled or tied, a statement belt can take an outfit from basic to bold. Think about cinching your waist over a chunky sweater or pairing a wide belt with a flowy dress to create shape and highlight your figure. Statement belts can also be worn over coats or blazers for a polished, tailored look.
  • Oversized Scarves
    Scarves have always been a fall staple, but this season, oversized scarves are where it’s at. Whether you choose chunky knits or soft cashmere, oversized scarves add an extra layer of warmth and style. Wrap them around your neck for a cozy effect or drape them loosely for a casual, relaxed vibe. Pair with a long coat or a leather jacket for the ultimate fall look.
  • Structured Handbags
    This season is all about structured bags, especially those in rich, earthy tones like caramel, chocolate, and olive green. These bags add sophistication to any outfit and provide that perfect balance between fashion and function. For work, opt for a medium-sized tote or satchel, and for weekend errands, a sleek crossbody or a mini bag will do the trick.
  • Chunky Jewelry
    Bold, chunky necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are a major trend for Fall 2024. Gold and silver pieces with intricate designs and oversized gemstones are taking center stage. You can pair these accessories with a turtleneck sweater or a simple blouse to let the jewelry be the star. Chunky jewelry is also a great way to make an otherwise simple outfit feel special.
  • Shearling and Faux Fur Accents
    Shearling and faux fur details are being incorporated into accessories like handbags, hats, and even boots this fall. These accents give off a cozy and luxurious vibe, perfect for adding warmth to your wardrobe. Try a shearling-lined tote or boots with fur trim for an on-trend, winter-ready look.
  • Retro Sunglasses
    The ‘70s are back in full force, and nowhere is that more evident than in the return of retro sunglasses. Think oversized frames, round lenses, and bold colors. These sunglasses add a vintage twist to your fall wardrobe and pair beautifully with flared jeans, oversized sweaters, or wool coats.
  • Knee-High Boots
    Knee-high boots are a quintessential fall footwear trend, and they’re more versatile than ever. Whether you opt for classic leather, suede, or a more modern look with embellishments, knee-high boots can be worn with everything from skirts and dresses to skinny jeans and leggings. For a chic, timeless outfit, pair brown leather knee-high boots with a plaid shacket and skinny jeans.
  • Gloves
    Leather gloves with decorative details, like buttons or stitching, are trending this fall. They’re not just practical for chilly weather—they also add a sophisticated touch to your overall outfit. Choose gloves in bold colors like burgundy, navy, or even mustard yellow to add a pop of color to neutral outfits.
  • Hair Accessories
    From oversized scrunchies to embellished hairpins and headbands, hair accessories are having a moment this season. They’re perfect for adding a fun, youthful element to your outfit while keeping your hair stylishly in place. Pair a bejeweled headband with a turtleneck dress for an elegant look or throw on a cozy scrunchie with your favorite casual outfit.

How to Style These Trends

When styling accessories this fall, the key is balance. If you’re wearing bold or statement accessories, let them be the focal point by keeping the rest of your outfit neutral or minimal. For example, if you’re rocking an oversized scarf and chunky jewelry, consider pairing them with a simple knit sweater and jeans to let your accessories take the spotlight.

On the flip side, if your outfit is more vibrant or complex—like a patterned blouse or textured sweater—choose understated accessories like structured handbags or simple jewelry to avoid overloading the look.

Popular Fabrics for Fall 2024

    • Why it’s popular: Corduroy is making a strong comeback this fall, offering both durability and warmth. Its ribbed texture adds depth to outfits and pairs perfectly with the season’s earthy tones.
    • How to style: Opt for wide-leg corduroy pants in a caramel or olive hue, paired with a fitted knit top or sweater. For a more casual look, throw on a corduroy blazer over your favorite tee.
  • Chunky Knits
    • Why it’s popular: Nothing says fall quite like chunky knits. This fabric trend is all about coziness and comfort without sacrificing style. Oversized sweaters and textured cardigans are key this season.
    • How to style: Wear an oversized chunky knit sweater with skinny jeans or tuck it into a high-waisted skirt for a balanced silhouette. Add boots and a long coat for the perfect fall ensemble.
  • Velvet
    • Why it’s popular: Velvet’s rich texture and luxurious feel make it a standout fabric for fall. This fabric is perfect for dressing up your look, whether for a holiday party or a date night.
    • How to style: Pair a velvet blazer with jeans for a chic casual look, or go for a velvet dress and statement jewelry for a more polished and glamorous vibe. Wear a top mixed media top that combines both velvet and satin for a trendy look.
  • Satin
    • Why it’s popular: Satin is soft and smooth, lending a feminine touch to fall fashion. It adds a little bit of shine to your wardrobe and works great for both casual and dressy outfits.
    • How to style: A satin blouse in jewel tones like deep maroon or emerald green can be tucked into tailored trousers for an office-ready look. Alternatively, wear a satin midi skirt with a chunky knit sweater for an on-trend juxtaposition of textures.
  • Faux Leather
    • Why it’s popular: Faux leather continues to be a favorite as it brings a sleek, edgy look while being animal-friendly. It’s a great way to add a bit of toughness to softer fall outfits.
    • How to style: A faux leather jacket over a flowy dress creates the perfect contrast for fall. You can also opt for faux leather leggings or skirts, paired with oversized knits or blouses for a chic yet relaxed style.
  • Plaid Flannel
    • Why it’s popular: Plaid is a classic fall fabric that never goes out of style. Flannel adds warmth and is a great way to channel those cozy autumn vibes.
    • How to style: Pair a plaid flannel shirt with jeans for a casual weekend look. Layer it over a turtleneck or under a puffer vest for an effortlessly stylish and layered outfit.
  • Wool Blends
    • Why it’s popular: Wool is known for its warmth, and blends that combine wool with softer fabrics provide comfort without the scratchiness. This fabric is a staple for coats, cardigans, and skirts.
    • How to style: A wool-blend coat in a neutral tone like camel or grey is a must-have for fall. Pair it with anything from jeans to dresses for a timeless look.
  • Knit Jersey
    • Why it’s popular: This soft, stretchy fabric is perfect for transitional pieces. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and easy to layer, making it a go-to fabric for casual wear.
    • How to style: Go for a knit jersey dress with ankle boots and a leather jacket for a chic, off-duty look. Alternatively, a knit jersey top paired with joggers or leggings creates an effortlessly cozy yet stylish outfit.
  • Tweed
    • Why it’s popular: Tweed is having a major moment this fall, with its textured, slightly vintage feel. It’s perfect for both casual and office looks, adding sophistication to any outfit.
    • How to style: Try a tweed blazer with wide-leg pants for a modern take on a classic fabric. Tweed skirts also pair beautifully with fitted tops or knits for a polished look. Tweed slacks make an excellent choice for winter because they are warm and cozy.
  • Fleece
    • Why it’s popular: Fleece is not just for outdoor wear anymore—it’s now being incorporated into stylish casual outfits. It’s ultra-soft and provides warmth for chilly days.
    • How to style: A fleece jacket or pullover paired with leggings and sneakers is perfect for running errands or casual weekend outings. For a more fashion-forward look, pair a cropped fleece top with high-waisted pants or a skirt. Long puffy vests are an alternative to fleece but have the same sporty vibe. Style them with leggings, a tee, and sneekers.

Key Style Trends for Fall 2024

  1. Wide Leg Pants
    Say goodbye to skinny jeans and leggings—wide leg pants are taking over this fall. From cropped to full-length styles, these pants offer comfort and style in one package. Whether you go for structured trousers or laid-back, flowy designs, wide-leg pants are the perfect base for a chic fall look. If you are petite, don’t fear, you can wear the wide leg trend too! Cropped styles work great for shorter women. We have some great dressy wide leg slacks in our Red Hot With Tribal Sportswear Collection.
  2. Retro Sweaters
    Nostalgia is in, and retro sweaters are making a comeback in a big way. Think chunky knits, bold geometric patterns, and color-blocked designs reminiscent of the ’70s and ’80s. These cozy, statement-making pieces are perfect for layering as the weather cools down. They also look great worn with collared blouses for the ultimate 80s throwback. We love this Charlie B Retro Sweater that has just arrived for fall.
  3. Cropped Jackets and Blazers
    Cropped jackets are a must-have for Fall 2024. From cropped denim jackets to sleek, tailored blazers, these pieces add structure and a polished touch to any outfit. Pair them with high-waisted pants or skirts for a balanced silhouette that feels modern and fresh. They also look great with wide leg pants and prevent you from looking too oversized.
  4. Plaid Patterns
    A perennial favorite for fall, plaid is everywhere this season. Whether it’s in oversized blazers, mini skirts, or button-down shirts, plaid patterns give off that effortlessly cool, slightly preppy vibe. This year’s plaid comes in bold colors like red, deep green, and navy. Pair plaid blouses over light weight sweatshirts for a fun, college prep look. You can also wear them oversized and open layered with a fun graphic tee.
  5. Earthy Neutrals
    Fall 2024 is embracing earthy, soothing neutrals like olive green, caramel, taupe, and terracotta. These warm hues are perfect for mixing and matching, and they add a grounding, nature-inspired vibe to your wardrobe. Earth tones offer a sophisticated, understated way to transition into fall. The unique trend for the season is to pair up these neutrals in unexpected ways like wearing terracotta and olive green together. Our new Out Of The Woods Collection is a great example of this trend.
  6. Ponchos and Capes
    Outerwear takes on a new form this fall with ponchos and capes dominating the fashion scene. These layering pieces add drama and flair to any outfit while keeping you warm and cozy. Look for oversized, flowy silhouettes with fringe details for a boho-chic touch. Our Tempo Paris Poncho Sweater is a great example of this trend.
  7. Textured Fabrics
    This season is all about touchable textures—think corduroy, velvet, and faux fur. These fabrics add depth and interest to even the simplest outfits, making them perfect for fall layering. Textured materials are great for both casual and dressy occasions, adding richness to your look. They are also a cozy fabric option in our Wyoming wind. Our new Charlie B Corduroy Pant is a yummy example of this trend
  8. Utility-Inspired Pieces
    Cargo pants, joggers with pocket details, and utility jackets are continuing their reign as a top trend for Fall 2024. These pieces are both functional and fashionable, providing plenty of comfort while still looking stylish. Look for details like zippers, buttons, and pockets to give your outfit an edgy, practical vibe.
  9. Blousy Tops
    Loose, flowy tops are in, offering an elegant and laid-back aesthetic. These tops pair beautifully with both structured pants and skirts, and they come in a range of fabrics from silk to cotton. For Fall 2024, blousy tops with subtle prints and embroidery are key for a soft, romantic look. Our Tribal Sportswear Long Sleeve Button Up Blouse is a great example of this trend.
  10. Layering Essentials
    Fall is all about layering, and Fall 2024 has no shortage of great layering pieces. Lightweight turtlenecks, fitted cardigans, and sleeveless mock-neck sweaters are perfect for building a stylish, layered outfit. Mix textures and patterns for a look that’s both comfortable and fashion-forward.
