fall fashion 2011

itt we post pix of things we would like to buy for fall also list trends, 'must haves', things to avoid and discuss the merits of layering

to start: apc crew neck pullover in charcoal gray lambswool

that looks so comfy

(i am in the process of throwing out most of my wardrobe, so i feel i may have more to contribute come october when i start again)

I want every single one of these coats:

But especially the olive wool day coat and the london coat.

yeah i like those coats too

i love marled sweaters

starting to think about a double breasted suit

lamp you seem pretty clued in, are duffel coats too 2009

some things i want for fall:

- grandpa sweater w/ a shawl collar and those loop/tog style fasteners (lttp i know)
- so much stuff from the apc f/w line but the sweater above, the fake vintage sweatshirt and the slim straight leg wool pants in particular
- a pair of dark brown suede derbys
- a couple of pairs of slim wool trousers one in a dark brown the other in a subtle check of some kind
- brightly patterned socks
- the SIBLING knit sweater with the kiss panadas (also kinda the drunken knights cardigan/vest combo)
- more tailored white dress shirts from filippa k
- another pair of black oxfords ideally the rachel comey palmers

lamp tell me something about corduroy shirts
in like burgundy or grey

i think duffel coats are still p current looking, daria or elmo might recall better but i think in particular those loop/tog fasteners (what is the name for this) are still a really current detail so

i mean i know the coat has a slightly different connotation in england (its a p indie look iirc?) than it does here but i like them

this in grey: http://shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/069857#colorSelect
suede desert boots in a saucy colour, e.g. brandy (leaning this way) or dark blue
couple of plain flannel button down shirts in beige or white
plain corduroy shirt in like dark green or dark red

shawl collars have become a bit scally in the uk : (

yeah duffel coats are either indie or lol oxford. i feel like i could pull it off now i am not in the uk though.

i have no opinions on corduroy shirts other than that i have this is mb a h1pster trend here atm

also i do think like gitman bros. style 'coarse' shirts in heavy fabrics will be big

yeah shawl collars are kinda off trend or w/e i wanted one of those sweaters last year but didnt bite the bullet

tbrr i just totally vibe the whole norwegian fisherman thing thats reaching its apex this year idk

i am finding it hard to find plain (i.e. non-lumberjack) flannel shirts in sensible modern cuts

also i want a raw silk/linen tie for not €€€

i guess this is a prince of wales check? anyway this is good ex. of the pant i was talking abt

i have no idea who that post was directed at either btw

i love apc so much. thinking about getting a crewneck pullover but i want it in bright pink. also thinking about a knit sweater jacket from there. or really splurging on their red hooded coat. RED. <3

i have some acne pistol boots on preorder. shouldn't spend the money .. gonna sell a pair or two i don't wear to not feel as bad, i guess.

don't care much about trends but i do like the trend of bright colored trousers and i'd like a pair in red if i could find any i liked. the only pairs i've seen are j brand and rag & bone in the skinny-skinny cut and i don't want that

that's really all i need. got a couple of simple knee length skirts from theory.. and i would really like a nicer fitted blazer in cream or taupe from isabel marant or vanessa bruno, i just can't find the perfect one (and shouldn't spend that kind of money tbh)

oh hell i also maybe should get an apc 'fashion is for losers' t-shirt and their 20's top in RED, i have one in navy already & it goes with everything

I would love a pair of red trousers! I've been on the lookout for forever, but have not come across a pair that would work for me.

I threw away my 10+ years old winter coat last year (black wool peacoat, had replaced lining 2+ times, didn't cost much to begin with). I'd like an awesome camel coat and am willing to drop some cash on it if it would give me a decade of wear. Suggestions appreciated! Must be go0d for both casual and over-work-clothes wear (pantsuits, mostly) and look good on a tall laydee.

Also there was a Jason Wu dress in the print WaPo today that I <3

if you want to spend $$$ then i guess max mara is the obv choice

Fav time for fashions btw

garance dore got a camel coat from max mara and she knows what's up. i'll keep an eye out, i usually don't pay attention because i look like death in that color

haha me too - i totally ignore everything camel coloured in fashion! charcoal all the way. white in my dreams, the ones where nothing ever spills and bikes don't need grease.

Camel may not be the most flattering of shades on me, but I am sick to death of black coats. Charcoal would be an option, but I am really trying to expand my coat horizons. A nice cherry red would be cool.

UKers: depending on the item, I'm a 6, 8, or 10 in US women's sizes. What UK size for a coat that supposedly runs true to size? UK 12???

10 or 12 i think but E would know better if she's reading

Oh man Quincie that's hard. Which of those do you think you'd most likely wear in a coat? You'd maybe want to size up to accommodate sweaters?

In general US - UK is two sizes so

6 - 8 UK
8 - 10 UK
10 - 12 UK

Some websites say to size up 2 sizes but I've never felt that's the case. I'm a US 12 and a UK 14 pretty consistently.

I would maybe order a 10 but make sure it's something you can exchange if the size isn't right?

Sorry - that wasn't very helpful.

hi e!

hi c!

or M, rather since calling you C when I actually know what your name begins with seems weird

man i would buy a new winter coat every year if i could afford it i love buying coats, jackets, sweaters

otm.

i got a great vintage pea coat last year. it is like 1/2" too small though which the fit a bit more "fashion" than i would like, and the shoulders end up being a little bit dramatic.

I've been wearing the same navy pea coat for a couple years and I'm not tired of it yet but wow I REALLY do want that APC coat in red, I tried it on and the fit is perfect.

Hmmmm I think I'm gonna go for the UK12. With a coat it seems better to err on the side of too big than too small!

haha daria imo the f/w apc stuff is some of their nicest in years just the palette and the details... they have an 'english mack' that i covet but i just got a new coat last winter

Let me see if this code will work:

Hahaha FAIL

What do we think?

ENBB I am DYING over the Emersonmade line-up.

The camel Max Mara is not for me.

I know Laurel aren't they the most beautiful coats you've ever seen. I keep looking at them . . .

I mean all of the nice coats I've had over the years have probably originally been around those prices but I've never actually paid full price for them. I always wait until they're marked down. I doubt these will get marked down any time soon though.

Their camel suit-coat is literally stabbing me in the heart with its coolness.

The lining!

Once I have some money I am going to buy this

http://media.dorothyperkins.com/wcsstore/DorothyPerkins/images/catalog/98503800_normal.jpg

despite my ethics and love of animals and opposition to slaughter for fashion purposes :( i just really love leather and really want a fur vest - i feel like it's a hypocritical thing of me to want, but i truly do respect clothes made out of animals more than i do synthetics (which is a whole other kettle of fish re: industry, craftmanship, etc) - at least they're items that last forever, can be repaired and well-loved. also my feet and synthetic fabric do not get along in any way, ouch ouch ouch.
also fur is so amazingly warm!! montreal was meant for wearing fur, not even kidding. i am torn...

I was inspired by Mireille Darc's sartorial choices in "Weekend" last night.

http://www.google.com/m/search?site=images&gl=us&source=mog&client=safari&hl=en&q=weekend+Godard+mireille+darc#i=145

rrrobyn - at least it is vintage, right? i understand your fur concerns, and i think that your buying used is really a good testament to the virtues of durability and practicality you mentioned!

lots of tartans, btw

mustard trousers arrive.

i bought a pair of mustard colored leather loafers i think i posted abt it in the shoe thread

kinda like the bright colours in winter thing.

velveeta pants

bought some acne chinos this weekend w/ my birthday money

happy belated birthday, max

ty

Is the cut of those orange pants the way things are going to go this fall? Because come on, that is really weird looking with the low crotch and the very tapered legs.

im dressed pretty well this fall tbh

still need some new sweaters though

carrot cut is terrible. makes you look like you have a fat arse or nappy.

but i dig the bold colours thing. i can't really wear browns, beiges, mossy colours etc, it's not for me but i think it can look great on others.

carrot cut is a little weird but if done right it can be really nice. i got those off asos and on arrival they're a little bit too drop crotch for my liking, though i'm still happy enough. but i have another pair of carrot cut that are a bit less baggy and tighter and they sit really nicely. i like the sort of "plus fours" feeling of them...think they're nicer with the cuffs rolled up a bit tho and some decent socks (enhances the sort of humorous british vibe) they look insane if you wear them full length imo, the narrowing at the bottom is so diff from the baggy ass. if rolled up a bit they kinda sit nicely.

got my sweaters flopson fall fashion now in full effect B-)

got a bit of stuff recently, orange polo neck, looks pretty great with navy blazer and a mac. also got some sort of burgundy jeans and a heavy cable knit sweater. gonna look at second hand stuff today for a bit i think.

Oh, they somehow have those Fair Isle Junya jackets at Bloomingdales. Right next to a bunch of shit like Tommy Bahama or whatever. But I got this fair isle cashmere onesie from Club Monaco last year on sale for $80!

obvs i dont leave the house wearing it. but its super nice to lounge around home in.

btw, elmo, im going to tokyo tomorrow morning. if i see those beams socks i'll grab you a pair

though this is what i bought myself for fall. its hard to see but the material is kinda thick. not quite neoprene'y but but super pliable.

(the one on the right)

oh its quilted too, which is also kinda hard to see. anyway, thats that

you look great! i like that shade of pink

aw phil! you are too cute. thanks for looking out.

also, that fair isle union suit is stellar

holy shit, vests. calm down everyone

i have a deeply passionate relationship with vests

just the puffy vest is back in and it's impossible to look anywhere w/o seeing a billion of them

http://s.fatwallet.com/static/attachments/21695_picture8.png

srsly tho those vest are terrible

i think i saw one at burlington coat factory

aw, what's wrong with a puffy vest?

nothing wrong with down vests yall

nothing's wrong w/it. some look pretty good. everyone needs to calm down with it is all i'm saying.

Hey Frenchie, gimmie your coat and boots pls, OK? Thanking you in advance.

well... beams had the socks, but only in asian people sizes... so i got ME one, thanks for the tip!!!!!!!

basically tokyo menswear was ALL fair-isle, scottish looking stuff, ethnic print things

I'ma put this here because it is useful and adorable information for fall:

UH

elbow pads

Is to early to start talking about this yet because maybe if we do so now we can will it to be fall.

That should have read "is it too" not "is to", whoops.

Never too early, at least according to stores in the DC area. . .

i'm not ready...

what are the cool colours

i heard red was big (again)

ok it's been raining and being less hot out and i'm reading the new vanity fair
and all i want to do is go try on cute *outfits* and buy dark red lipstick and go shoe shopping

i do love summer, you know i do, but even i will admit it is not always the most glamorous of seasons

GAH

why did i buy another plaid flannel shirt on ebay

i have three plaid flannel shirts, two stussy and one ll bean. all three are red and black. my colors are navy and white. my brain doesn't understand why another part of my brain feels compelled to buy this shit over and over again, especially when the whole look is completely played by this point.
