Vancouver fashion blogger Jillian Lansky shares her favourite fall trends and shows you how to get the look
Since launching The August Diaries in August 2011, Vancouver blogger Jillian Lansky’s one-of-a-kind European-chic-meets-West-Coast-sophistication look has set her apart as one of Canada’s top bloggers. She has been featured in publications like Vanity Fair and InStyle, and has garnered a loyal following on social media, including well over 27,000 Instagram fans.
Click through to see Lansky’s top 10 fall trend picks and how you can get the hottest looks of the season.
“Whether it’s a dress, a skirt or a purse, fringe is en vogue this year, especially for fall. A midi-fringe skirt paired with a simple long-sleeved crop top makes for the perfect autumn outfit.”
<– Get the trend Karen Kane faux suede fringe skirt
“The duster coat is the perfect transition piece for fall. It’s light enough for those gorgeous fall days and can easily be layered up as it gets colder. The ankle length is extremely slimming, but be sure to add heels if you’re short!”
<– Get the trend Asos duster coat
“With gauzy maxi dresses and hippie prints, spring’s favourite ’70s trend is still going strong. A lace or printed dress with boots can be layered with a duster coat for extra interest.”
<– Get the trend Soma London crochet dress
“Denim on denim, or the Canadian tuxedo, has moved from being a trend to a classic. This season’s take on it is retro-inspired with pockets and button details.”
<– Get the trend Forever 21 button front denim skirt
“A suede pencil skirt with buttons is the perfect way to incorporate my love of the ’70s retro trend without becoming a slave to it. A simple white tank keeps the look office appropriate, but is still chic enough to go out for drinks after.”
<– Get the trend All Saints suede Levitt skirt
“Minimalism is all about keeping everything one colour, though there’s plenty of room to play with proportions to achieve that restrained, cool look.”
<– Get the trend Asos skirt
“Any woman can rock menswear; it’s all about adapting it to your own personal style. A pantsuit is a great option, especially paired with a gorgeous set of pumps to polish off the look with sleek sophistication.”
<– Get the trend Asos sleeveless coat
“I love wearing a slip dress because it’s timeless, yet sexy in an understated way. It’s very versatile and can be dressed up with a beautiful statement necklace, or dressed down with a chic leather motorcycle jacket.”
<– Get the trend Organic by John Patrick slip dress
“Eyewear is a great way to integrate a trend with practicality. Glasses are always in style, but this season, a more prominent frame in darker colours was popular, as seen at Gucci.”
Get the trend Black cat-eye frames with textured detailing by FYSH UK
“Designers are adding high shine elements to footwear, whether it’s metallic accents on sky-high sandals or gilded sneakers and brogues.”
