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.

Here’s a breakdown of the key fabric trends for Fall 2024 and some tips on how to style them. Be sure to watch my Wednesday Wardrobing Live Video tonight at 6 p.m. MST on our Facebook and Instagram pages for more styling inspiration. This month’s series has been all about the top fashion trends, and you can catch the past two weeks of videos on our YouTube channel here.

Popular Fabrics for Fall 2024

Corduroy
- 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.

Discover the Perfect Shapewear with Teez Her at FC Outlet in Casper, Wyoming

Here at FC Outlet, Teez Her has been a staple in our store for years, and it’s easy to see why! Teez Her’s body-shaping tanks and leggings have quickly become a customer favorite, offering the perfect blend of comfort and shaping power. Whether you’re looking for the ideal foundation for layering or activewear that helps you feel confident and put-together, Teez Her has you covered.

Why We Love Teez Her Shapewear

Soft and Comfortable
Great quality that will last for years
Hidden shapers that offer 360 degrees of support
Great for work and exercise class
No muffin tops!

Teez Her shapewear, especially the Teez Her tank tops, is designed with soft cotton knit combined with strategic shaping panels, so you look and feel your best. One of the standout pieces is the Teez Her skinny shaper tank—featuring a cotton knit top with a shaper at the bottom. This clever design means that when you layer it under your favorite tops, no one will ever know it’s a shaper!

Their Teez Her pants and Teez Her leggings are also a game changer. The soft knit bootcut pants and leggings feature a 360-degree shaper that’s hidden in the wide waistband, giving you a smooth silhouette with no muffin top. With their regular rise, these Teez Her pants stay put and move with you, whether you’re working out or just going about your day.

Comfort and Confidence All Day Long

The Teez Her shapewear collection isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling comfortable, too. Made from a soft cotton/spandex blend, these pieces offer all-day wearability, whether you’re using them as a slender shape foundation or as activewear. Teez Her shaper tanks provide the right amount of hold while staying breathable, and the Teez Her active pants give you flexibility without sacrificing style.

I, Kyleen, can personally vouch for Teez Her’s quality and longevity. I’ve had Teez Her leggings in my closet for over 10 years, and they are my go-to choice every time. These leggings stay put, offer amazing slimming support, and are just incredibly comfortable. After all these years, I still reach for them over any other brand!

Teez Her For Work

Teez Her isn’t just for exercise or everyday because you can take the shaping confidence into your work day as well. Our Teez Her Straight Leg Pant With Rivets in Black offers shaping and work slack style. For a slimmer fit, we love our Teez Her Sculpting Essential Legging in navy blue.

Fall 2024 Women’s Style Trends

Posted in beauty, clothing, fall fashion trends, fashion, fashion trends, personal style, tips and tricks, Trendy at any age, What to wear, women's clothing tips by kyleen228

Fall 2024 Women’s Style Trends: A Guide to What’s In This Season

As the leaves begin to turn and the temperatures drop, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with the latest trends for Fall 2024. This season is all about bold statements, cozy textures, and timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched for versatile looks. Whether you’re looking to update your wardrobe with key pieces or add some fun, trendy items, Fall 2024 has something for every fashionista. Tonight at 6 p.m. MST, I’ll be diving deep into these trends during my live Wednesday Wardrobing Video Series on Facebook and Instagram, so be sure to tune in for an exclusive trend report!

Key Style Trends for Fall 2024

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Set a Budget: It’s easy to get carried away with all the discounts. Set a budget to avoid overspending and ensure you get the most value for your money.
Check for Quality: Sometimes, items on sale can be slightly damaged or irregular. Take the time to inspect each item to ensure you’re getting a good deal.
Bring Cash: Some vendors might offer better deals for cash purchases. It also helps you stick to your budget.
Try Things On: If possible, try on clothing and accessories to ensure they fit well and look good on you. Many sidewalk sales have fitting areas or allow returns, so take advantage of this.
Layer Up: If you’re shopping for clothing, wear a tank top or camisole underneath. This makes trying on tops and jackets easier and quicker.

How To Choose the Best Shoes To Flatter Your Legs

Posted in dressing your best, dressing your figure, how to, personal style, Shoes, tips and tricks, Trendy at any age, women's clothing tips by kyleen228

How to Choose the Best Shoes to Flatter Your Legs

Choosing the right shoes can make a huge difference in how your legs look and feel. Whether you have short legs, thick legs, thick ankles, short feet, or long feet, there’s a perfect pair of shoes out there to flatter your unique shape. Here’s a guide to help you find the most flattering footwear for your legs and feet.

For Short Legs

If you have short legs, the goal is to create the illusion of length. Here are some tips:

Nude Heels: Shoes that match your skin tone help elongate your legs by creating a continuous line.
Pointed-Toe Shoes: These can make your legs appear longer by drawing the eye forward.
High Heels: Even a small heel can add height and lengthen the look of your legs. Avoid ankle straps, as they can cut off the line of your leg and make them appear shorter.
Vertical Details: Shoes with vertical stripes or embellishments help to elongate the leg.

For Thick Legs

Thicker legs can be beautifully highlighted with the right shoe choice:

Chunky Heels: They provide balance to the proportion of thicker legs and look more harmonious than delicate, thin heels. Avoid ankle straps, as they can emphasize a wider ankle.
Dark Colors: Darker shades tend to have a slimming effect.
Low-Cut Vamp: Shoes that are cut low on the top of the foot (vamp) can make legs look longer and leaner.
Wedges: They offer height and stability, which is great for thick legs.

For Thick Ankles

To complement thick ankles, look for shoes that don’t draw attention to the ankle area:

Ankle Boots: Opt for ones that fit snugly around the ankle. Wide ankle boots can make your legs look wider.
Avoid Ankle Straps: Straps can make ankles appear thicker.
Heeled Shoes: Heels can elongate the legs and draw attention away from the ankles.
D’Orsay Flats: These shoes, which expose the arch of the foot, can make your ankles appear slimmer.

For Short Feet

If you have short feet, certain styles can help elongate their appearance:

Pointed-Toe Shoes: These give the illusion of a longer foot.
Narrow Heels: Slim heels can make feet look longer and more elegant.
Vertical Designs: Shoes with vertical patterns or embellishments can elongate the look of your feet.
Avoid Round Toes: These can make your feet appear shorter.

For Long Feet

Balancing long feet with the right shoes can create a more proportionate look:

Round-Toe Shoes: These can make feet appear shorter and more balanced.
Ankle Straps: Straps across the ankle can help break up the length of the foot.
Chunky Shoes: Thicker and chunkier shoes can help balance the length of long feet.
Color Blocks: Shoes with multiple colors can break up the length of the foot visually.

Additional Tips

Comfort is Key: No matter your leg or foot type, comfort should always be a priority. Ensure your shoes provide adequate support, don’t hurt your feet, and can be worn comfortably all day.
Proportional Heels: Choose a heel height that you are comfortable with and that complements your leg shape.
Quality Over Quantity: Invest in high-quality shoes that will last longer and offer better support and fit.

Whether you’re planning a beach getaway, a casual brunch, or a night out, there’s a perfect pair of shoes waiting for you. Let’s dive into the hottest summer shoe trends for women and how to style them.

1. Espadrilles

It is the rope sole that is the defining characteristic of an Espadrille, and you will find them in many different styles. Espadrilles are a summer staple that never goes out of style. These lightweight, comfortable shoes are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your casual outfits.

Style Tip: Pair them with a flowy sundress or high-waisted shorts for a chic and effortless look.

2. Platform Sandals

Platform sandals have a thick, uniform sole that extends the length of the shoe without a separation between the sole and the heel of the shoe. They provide the height you crave without compromising on comfort.

Style Tip: Wear them with wide-leg pants or a maxi skirt to balance out the look.

3. Strappy Heels

A strappy sandal is defined by multiple straps that cross over the top of the foot and or the ankle. They are decidedly feminine and are perfect for dressing up any summer outfit. Their delicate design adds a touch of sophistication.

Style Tip: Pair them with a little black dress or a sleek jumpsuit for a night out.

4. Slides

Slides are defined by having a loose heel and a large strap that goes over the top of the foot. They are the epitome of comfort and style because they slip on easily and are perfect for those laid-back summer days.

Style Tip: Wear them with denim shorts and a graphic tee for a casual, cool vibe.

5. Woven Sandals

A woven sandal is defined by the portion of the shoe that goes over your foot being braided or woven. They bring a natural, earthy feel to your summer wardrobe and perfect for both beach days and city strolls.

Style Tip: Match them with a bohemian dress or linen pants for a relaxed yet stylish outfit.

6. Mules

Mules are defined by having an open back and slide in design. They are a versatile addition to your summer shoe collection, as they can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for any occasion.

Style Tip: Pair them with a pencil skirt for the office or cropped jeans for a casual look.

7. Sneakers

Sneakers are defined by the classic tennis shoe look. They continue to be a major trend this summer, offering comfort without sacrificing style. Sneakers are perfect for an active day out.

Spring 2024 Clothing Trends

Posted in fashion, fashion trends, how to, personal style, spring fashion trends, trends, women's clothing tips by kyleen228

My February Wednesday Wardrobing Series is focused on the latest style trends for the upcoming Spring/Summer 20245 season. Last week, I covered the key color trends, and this week I am focusing on the most important style and fabric trends.

Mini Skirts: Skirts are getting shorter this year with the mini skirt trend. Whether you are dressing up with leather or sequins or keeping it casual with denim, make sure for professional settings that your skirt length is below your finger tips when your arms are hanging down.
Floral Prints: 3-D flowers, especially rosettes rocked the runways for this season but so did floral prints in everything from tops and dresses to pants and skirts.
Classic Button Up: Blouse lovers celebrate – blouses are still SO in! For summer, look for classic white, menswear blue, and linen and cotton styles.
Bows and Ribbons: Get feminine with bow details this season! You’ll find bows on blouses, accessories, waists and more. You’ll also see ribbons being used as embellishments.
Bermuda: Long shorts are back! Wear them paired with a suit jacket for a summer suit look and dress them up with heels and a blouse. Wear them casual for running around too!
Luxury jumpsuits: Monochromatic jump suits or tops and bottoms paired together as a set are trendy this season. This look is expensive and minimalistic. Expect full pants and long sleeves.
90″s Inspired: From baggy mom jeans cinched with belts and paired with ribbed tops to short and long overalls, the 90’s grunge vibe is back.
Modern Femininity: In addition to bows and ribbons, look for eyelet, lace, silks, and semi sheer fabrics.

In addition to these themes, you will also see short shorts, more low rises waists, and capris length pants.

If you’d like to see examples of these trends, tune into my live video tonight at 6 p.m. MST. You can watch on either on Facebook or Instagram. You can also catch last week’s video on YouTube.
