Pretty in pastels

Pretty in Pastels

Spring is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start shedding heavy layers…and the heavy winter color palette. Adding soft, muted hues and playful pastels to your look is the perfect place to start. Here are some suggestions from your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Lightweight Trench

The slouchy, lightweight trench has become a transition season essential, and has a way of transforming easy looks into enviable ensembles. Take this pale pink polyester number as example, the look underneath is super basic, but once the trench is added it’s suddenly double take-worthy.


Silk Joggers

Sweatshirt and fleece joggers are a live-in in the wintertime, but once the temps start to warm a lighter option is necessary. In pink silk, the athletic-inspired silhouette not only becomes decidedly feminine but also richly upscale, and offers just the right weight for rising temps.


Tulle Skirt

Swap the jeans for a flirty pale blue tulle skirt and watch your favorite sweater become instantly spring-ready. This look is perfect for more formal outings, but a simple shoe change to simple flats and the addition of an edgy moto jacket would make it perfect for casual wear.


Chiffon Skirt

If you’re looking for something a little more subdued than the tulle skirt, opt for a classic midi pleated skirt. In a soft shade like pale blue chiffon, it will pair well with your other staples while adding a playful springy twist.


Slinky Top

Craving coverage is totally understandable considering we’re still technically in the throes of winter. To keep your jacket-and-jeans look on the lighter, springier side, pair it with a slinky pale purple top and fun, colorful accessories.

All in Black & White

All in Black & White

In a style slump? You’re not alone—this in-between-season weather can make a puzzle out of outfit prep. Luckily, Fashion Fabrics Club has the answer: chic black-and-white looks. Find your new go-to for whatever is coming up on your social calendar.

Weekending

A casual cotton Tee in black-and-white stripes paired with black twill cigarette pants is a failsafe look for every weekend outing from brunching to errand running.


Day-to-Night

For an elegant look that can easily go from day to night, try a long-sleeved black cotton T underneath a slinky white silk slip dress. Pair with your favorite pair of boots (and tights if you need an extra layer of warmth) and watch how this look seamlessly transitions to twilight.


Desk to Drinks

By cleverly combining edginess and preppy appeal—collared white chiffon top under a black cropped sweater, faux leather skinnies and black patent pumps—this look is just the thing for those days when there’s no time for an outfit change between work and off-duty plans.


Jet Setting

Traveling in style is all about picking the right fabrics and this monochrome look checks all the necessary boxes. A cool white cotton T, stretchy black denim jeans, and a gingham button up as a top layer backup.


Gala-ing

Have a fundraiser or charity ball coming up? Black and white is the perfect pick: simple, sophisticated, elegant. You can try something like this satin number, using a cool colorblocked effect to inject a cool modern vibe to the classically feminine gown.

Valentine's Day Looks to Love

Valentine's Day Looks to Love

Valentine’s Day plans? Fashion Fabrics Club has the perfect look for anything on your social calendar. Check out our cute roundup of easy-yet-impactful looks for the day of love.

Heart Wrap

The ever-popular wrap dress is the perfect flirty silhouette for a Valentine’s Day look, and to make it even more loveable, turn it out in a fun heart print fabric. From far away it looks like a traditional polka dot pattern, making it a cute pick for a day at the office or a casual night out.


Red Lace

If you’re looking for a little more va-va-voom for say a hot date or the possibility of running into an ex, try a red lace sheath dress. The peek-a-boo effect of the fabric gives it sex appeal without venturing towards risqué.


A Pop of Red

This is the perfect look for a corporate office, just enough polish plus a pop of personality. The houndstooth pencil skirt keeps things classically chic while the red crepe bell-sleeved top lends a modern, Valentine’s Day-appropriate vibe.


Red Sweater

Looking for an outfit that can take you from desk to drinks in an instant? Your search ends here. And the answer is simpler than you think. Simply pair your favorite black jeans with a red sweater and some killer red pumps. Done and done.


Silk Top

For a look that’s a little more daring and a little less conventionally cute, try a look like this from the Zac Posen ’17 resort collection. The slinky red silk top gives an air of romance and femininity that’s complemented by the tailored black shorts (for cold-weather climates simply add black tights, or swap the shorts for full-length trousers).

It's a Date!

It's a Date!

Fashion Fabrics Club takes the guesswork out of dressing for a date with a chic roundup of dressy-casual looks you can copy right now.

The Day Date

A casual park stroll? A light bike ride around town? A chat at the local coffee shop? Day dates can take on a whole host of activities, which makes it one of the hardest dates to dress for. Fret not, the key is in simplicity and sophistication. Denim keep things casual—and says you’re up for whatever. Then layer on dressy pieces like this black chiffon blouse and tailored flats and you have an outfit that works for nearly anything.


The Brunch Date

Unlimited mimosas are always a good idea, especially when it comes to shedding the awkwardness of a get-to-know-you scenario of a budding new relationship. Just like the conversation, keep the outfit casual and uncomplicated. Try a chambray shirtdress with a cute pair of boots. If you need an extra layer of warmth simply add a pair of black leggings.


The Dinner Date

A good rule of thumb for a dinner date look is to opt for an LBD: appropriate no matter how fancy the restaurant. To bring in a little sex appeal, go for a stretch cotton blend that hugs and flatters in all right places.


The Meet-the-Parents Date

To win over the parents, you want to seem approachable and friendly but also polished and put-together. The focus should be on “cute” rather than “sexy.” Here’s an easy go-to: a plaid (or otherwise patterned) cotton button up with a wool sweater over the top, dark-wash denim and a pair of sleek leather boots.

Embrace the Blues

Embrace the Blues

Winter got you feeling blue? Surround yourself in the calming color of cool blue and watch how your mood is instantly lifted. Here are a few stylish, winter-ready suggestions on how to wear the shade from Fashion Fabrics Club.

Twill Trench

Swapping the classic camel and traditional tan for a soft blue wool twill transforms the timeless trench silhouette into something with more character and impact, meaning it’s the kind of piece that you can toss on and instantly make your look.


Cashmere Sweater

Freshen up your on-the-clock look by ditching the blazer and replacing it with a navy blue cashmere sweater. It adds a soft touch to tailored pieces like cigarette pants and a button up, while keeping you feeling comfy and looking totally polished.


Faux Fur Jacket

There’s something incredibly smile inducing about a shaggy faux fur jacket, especially when it’s done up in a playful color like baby blue. Added bonus: it makes everything it’s paired with feel so much more dressed up, case in point with this sweater and jeans ensemble.


Knit Scarf

It’s easy to stuck in a rut of all black all the time in the winter. An easy way to step out of the routine is by throwing in a pop of color into the mix in a form of an easy accessory, like a crisp blue jersey knit scarf


Velvet Dress

For those days when you’re in a pinch for time but still want to look put-together, a wrap dress does the trick—and in rich blue velvet it can work for everything from everyday outings to the most elegant occasions.

shine on

Shine On

Ring in the New Year in style! Your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club have rounded up some inspirational looks to help take the guesswork out of New Year’s Eve dressing. (Hint: It’s all about the shine.)

Shorts

If your NYE plans require you to get dressed up but dresses aren’t really your thing, we’ve got the perfect solution. Try a pair of sequined shorts paired with black tights, a white top, and toss on your favorite blazer to top it all off. Done and done.


High – Low

Mixing an edgy leather moto jacket with a fiercely feminine sequin skirt makes for a look that’s perfect if you plan to bounce around to a few different NYE events. Streety enough for a bar or club scene, dressed up enough for meeting the family, and laid-back enough for a night in—major style win.


Metallic

For something a little less obvious and a little more sophisticated than sequins, opt for a shimmering metallic fabric like this gold tone pleated maxi skirt. It still has festive shine, but feels much more elegant—just the thing for more formal affairs.


Velvet

Velvet is perfect this time of year, it evokes the feeling of winter and holiday and makes everything it’s paired with feel more special. If your plans air on the side of formal this NYE, try a long-sleeved velvet top paired with a sequin maxi skirt for a look that is sure to get you noticed.


Silk

Luxurious silk is another easy answer to New Year’s Eve dressing. With its inherent shimmer and elegant flowing appeal, it works for nearly any NYE plan, it’s all about the silhouette—long for formal, short for casual, or if you want something that can do both, go for something like this drop-back stunner pictured here.

Fun with Fleece

Fun with Fleece

Fleece is one of the coziest, warmest, softest fabrics to bundle up in on cold winter days, and it just so happens to be on sale on Fashion Fabrics Club right now! Here, find a roundup of fun and chic ways to wear the fuzzy fabric this season.

Vest

Take your jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt up a notch with a chic and cozy fleece vest. It’s just the thing for days when you’re out and about and doing a lot of moving around—your arms have full mobility but you still get incredible warmth.


Dress

A slouchy dress in fuzzy fleece is perfect for those alarm-fail days when you need to look cute, but don’t have a spare second to plan your look. Simply toss on, add legging, zip on some boots and go.


Joggers

PJ-like comfort for any hour of the day—try using cozy fleece in a pair of jogger pants for a look that’s laid-back, totally on trend, and infinitely comfortable.


Sherpa Cardi

An open cardigan in Sherpa fleece is the best of both worlds; it’s sleek and polished on the outside and extra plush and cozy on the inside. It’s like a sweater and scarf all in one piece.


Sherpa Pullover

The fur obsession is in full swing, and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. While most fur jackets give off an almost pretentious vibe, a Sherpa pullover plays to the textural trend in a friendlier, more casual way.

Pantone Color of the Year: Ultra Violet

Pantone Color of the Year: Ultra Violet

It’s official, the color gurus at Pantone have named the color of 2018: Ultra Violet. The vibrant hue represents “originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking,” says the color dream team, and it just so happens to complement nearly all skin tones. As a little guide to help you dip your toe into the trend, Fashion Fabrics Club has compiled a first look at how style mavens are already incorporating the cosmic shade into their looks.

Wool Coat

If your closet is mostly packed with neutrals, adding an ultra violet wool coat to the mix would be an easy addition—an instant update to every basic and go-to look in the rotation (not to mention incredibly cozy, too!).


Jumpsuit

The jumpsuit is the essential one-piece that delivers at every stop: polished, put-together, no thinking needed, no extras necessary. I.e. it’s the ultimate hit-snooze-too-many-times-but-still-have-to-make-it-to-work-on-time piece. In a purple silk-like fabric, it feels more feminine without compromising its powerful vibe.


Blazer

A major benefit of this new color obsession is that it’s at the same time soft and feminine, and also bold and striking. This makes it an easy pick to dress up for work or down for weekends. Take this violet suiting fabric blazer for example, this look is great for every day, but a simple jean swap for a skirt, and it’s instantly office-ready.


Moto Jacket

When a moto jacket is rendered in a luxe material and rich hue, it becomes so much more than a simple motorcycle jacket—it becomes a statement. Cue the new “it” color in lush faux suede, just thing to up the ante on one of your favorite staples.

winter white

Winter White

Wearing crisp white in winter feels fresh and new, no wonder it’s all the rage amongst the fashion set. Here, find 5 wearable ways to rock the white trend courtesy of your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

White Wool Coat

Once you add a white wool coat to the wardrobe, it will become a recurring star in the rotation—its neutral hue pairs well with every other shade you have in your closet and the striking white instantly dresses up even the most laid-back of looks.


White Denim

If you stored your white twill skinnies in the name of the “no white after labor day” fashion rule, break them out!! When paired with cozy extras like a fuzzy sweater and plush suede boots, they instantly become winter-ready.


White Cashmere Scarf

The cashmere scarf is the accessory of all accessories—enveloping you in cozy warmth without adding a lot of bulk. In white cashmere, it’s a guarantee that it will go with everything you’ll be sporting this season, from edgy moto jackets to elegant dresses.


White Blazer

A blazer in crisp white suiting fabric plays many rolls, transforming a simple jeans and a T into a totally polished look and playing well with suit separates and dresses, too. Take a lesson from Kate Middleton and try it in a monochromatic outfit for a look that’s at the same time relaxed and refined.


White Sweaterdress

The sweaterdress is a wintertime essential—PJ-like comfort for any hour. A white sweaterdress makes the pairing game easy and offers many different styling options: tall boots, tights and heels, with a layer on top or on its own, so you can make it match your mood.

Going Somewhere?

Going Somewhere?

Travel is at an all-time high this time of year, so chances are you’ve got a trip planned for sometime soon on the social calendar. To help minimize the stress, Fashion Fabrics Club has rounded up 4 essential pieces you’ll never travel without again.

Stretchy Leggings

Stay comfy and chic while you navigate the terminals and long car rides with a pair of opaque, stretchy knit black leggings. Add a little bit of edge by pairing them with a leather moto jacket, or keep things super casual and simply toss on an oversized sweatshirt.


Denim Jacket

Temperatures while traveling are impossible to predict, ranging from hot and stuffy to overly air-conditioned. Having an easy layer that you can toss on (or remove) in an instant is essential. A denim jacket is an easy pick as it goes with nearly everything (i.e. can be paired with a number of other looks in your suitcase) and when you’re not using it you can tie it around your waist for a cute on-the-go look.


White Cotton T

The classic white cotton T is a no-brainer when it comes to building a travel outfit. Not only is enveloping yourself in the natural fabric a guaranteed way to ensure comfy travels, but it’s also so incredibly versatile that styling options are nearly endless.


Oversized Scarf

This one is an absolute must! A chic, oversized scarf (we’re partial to cashmere) has so many uses while you’re on the go. Not only does it add visual intrigue to your look but while you’re en route, you can use it as a cozy blanket and you can use it as a stylish shawl when you’re out and about.
