As the temps start to dip further and further, it’s a reminder that it’s time to get the outerwear gear in check. Lucky for you, Fashion Fabrics Club has rounded up 5 essential fall jackets that will turn all your easy outfits into full-on, show off-worthy looks.

Deconstructed Trench

The classic tailored trench is an obvious pick, but its more laid-back sister, the deconstructed rayon trench, has a more modern and unexpected feel while still being totally polished. Toss this on over a sheath dress for an added layer of chic, or use it to dress up more casual looks like jeans and a T.

Silk Duster

A duster coat in luxurious silk has a magical way of making even the most mundane looks seriously chic. Perfect for the office with the pairing shown here, it’s also a fun counterpoint to more relaxed looks for weekend adventures.

Nylon Bomber

Distressed denim, workout wear, bodycon dresses—there’s nothing a little nylon bomber jacket doesn’t look good with. An effortless way to give your look an edgy hit, once you add this piece to your collection you’re sure to put it on repeat.

Twill Army Jacket

A traditional twill army jacket has a surprising amount of styling power. It’s an easy addition to an everyday look of jeans and a T and also looks super cool when paired with more upscale pieces like floral dresses.

Oversized Blazer

In exaggerated proportions, the tailored suiting blazer takes on a whole new appeal. It still brings in a put-together feel, but somehow feels much less fussy thanks to its tailored counterpart. Pair it with leather skirts, denim, cigarette pants…the options are nearly endless.

For those of you who have rocked the athleisure trend all summer, you don’t have to give up on your sporty chic looks just because the season is changing. Fashion Fabrics Club has a few tips and tricks to help you make the trend fall-ready.

Add a bomber jacket

Crop top, leggings, sneakers, GO! It’s the perfect summer style recipe, and super easy to bring into fall, too. Simply add your favorite bomber jacket from lustrous nylon to edgy leather. Done and done.

Add a crisp mid-layer

This look is loaded with luxe details, from the zippers on the leggings to the rich camel-colored sweater. But the lynchpin of the outfit? The crisp cotton button-up poking out from underneath. That one piece brings in a polished appeal that totally transforms the look.

Swap the tank for long sleeves

In the summer, these jogger sweatpants are perfect with a casual T, but for this cooler weather more skin coverage is necessary. Easy, simply swap the tank for a long-sleeved cotton T or turtleneck. It still had the same casual look but keeps you much warmer.

Pair a sweater with a sporty skirt

This jersey skirt with racing stripe has summer written all over it, but when it’s paired with a slouchy sweater knit, it all of a sudden feels just right for fall. It also teeters the line of casual and dressy which is always a good look to have on hand.

Add a touch of tweed

For a weekend look that’s really unexpected, reach for your leather leggings and go-to kicks, pair with a simple T and then layer on a tailored tweed jacket. The addition of the polished piece tempers the edginess of the leather while keeping you warm and cozy.

Fall has officially arrived and that means it’s officially sweater season! Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of the must-have sweaters you need to add to your collection right now.

Cashmere Crewneck

The ultimate luxe piece: the cashmere sweater. It makes you look totally polished and upscale while at the same keeping you feeling completely cozy and relaxed. Insider tip: add a crisp button-up underneath to add a little extra polish.

Draped Sweater Vest

Once you add this piece to your wardrobe, you’re sure to put it on repeat. A ribbed sweater knit in a draped vest silhouette has major styling power. Toss it on over a casual jeans and a T look for added interest, or take a lesson from this chic take here and add a belt for something a little more sophisticated.

Cotton Turtleneck

The basic cotton turtleneck sweater is a layering essential, extending the life of your warm weather looks into the cool weather seasons. Take this slip dress ensemble for example, with the added layers of tights and the turtleneck, the summery slip becomes a fall-ready favorite.

Jersey Knit Blazer

Seriously upgrade your on-duty game with a jersey knit blazer. With the façade of a suiting separate and all the cozy feels of your favorite sweater, it’s makes getting dressed for work feel like a vacation.

Wool Sweaterdress

It’s smart to keep easy one-piece outfits on hand for those days of alarm fails or last-minute invites. For the cold weather seasons, a thick wool sweaterdress is just the thing. Just toss it on with a pair of sneakers or boots and go.

Mixed prints, sporty with sophisticated, edgy with feminine—unexpected pairings make for the most memorable outfit moments. Here’s Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of looks that break the rules in all the right ways.

Cozy Sweater & Pencil Skirt

Take your favorite oversized, chunky sweater and pair it with a sleek, tailored pencil skirt for a look that’s buttoned up enough to be office appropriate (with tailored flats) but still feels relaxed enough for everyday wear (when paired with fresh sneakers).

Stripes & Spots

If you’re new to mixing prints, stripes and animal print is a failsafe pairing you can count on. You can break it up a bit like this look here, putting a solid color in the mix as a buffer between the two prints.

Sundress Dress & Combat Boots

This is the perfect in-between season look, combining elements from summer and fall all into one unexpected ensemble. Take a little chiffon sundress, toss a bomber jacket over the top and pair it up with a fresh pair of combat boots.

Leather Skirt & T-Shirt

A leather skirt gives off an edgy, fierce look that’s perfect for after dark, but you can transform it into a cool everyday piece with the right pairing: a cool graphic T-shirt, denim jacket and sneakers.

Buffalo Check & Glam

Buffalo check is an easy go-to in the fall and winter months, an easy and cozy partner with all things denim. To shake things up a bit, pair it with glamorous extras like a faux fur vest, cute skirt, and statement necklace and suddenly it takes on a whole new attitude.

That’s a wrap on the New York Fashion Week Spring 2019 shows, and you know what that means: Fashion Fabrics Club’s annual round up of the hottest trends from the designer runways.

Golden Hour

Soft pastels give way to big, bold hues for spring 19, the most prominent shade being a vivid marigold that feels both royal and romantic. We’re seeing designers use it head to toe with lots of layers in drapey fabrics like chiffon and silk to play up the dramatic effect.

Oh Hey, Crochet

Many designers showed their affection for handcraftsmanship, featuring unique pieces that even if they were not entirely made by hand, were certainly inspired by the look of the traditional craft. Crochet in particular was a popular pick, sure to reign among the beaches and seaside villas of the most fashionable come next spring.

Power Suits

While this season we’re seeing strong, angular suits inspired by the power suits of the late 1980s (shoulder pads and all), the suit seems to take a modern, deconstructed turn for spring ‘19 that looks more to the future than to the past. Reimagined silhouettes like cutouts, wrap blazers, and skirts with trousers in classic suiting materials make for a whole new look for being on duty.

Tie Dye

A nod to the past shone through the runways in the form of nostalgic tie dye—a possible indication of designers’ optimism for bringing the peace-and-love attitude it represented in the ‘60s into 2019. From subtle tie dye to full-blown rainbow, the runways offered many ways to rock this throwback trend.

Oversized Shirtdress

The shirtdress has been a spring/summer essential for years, but for spring 2019 it gets an oversized, slouchy makeover that feels much more relaxed and somehow more luxurious than the more traditional tailored silhouette. Whether in laid-back linen or crisp cotton, it was apparent that designers are partial to using clean white for this new go-to.

Now we don’t usually condone ignoring the rules, but we do believe that creating a show-stopping outfit sometimes means breaking a fashion rule or two. This season, we’re all about breaking the age-old rule of no white after Labor Day. Check out these killer looks Fashion Fabrics Club rounded up and copy them immediately.

Chances are you have a pair of crisp white denim jeans that you wore on repeat this summer, but don’t pack them away with the swimsuits and sundresses yet—paired with a boyfriend button up in casual white linen, they can take you straight through fall.

This is a look that can seamlessly go from boardroom to bar, for those days when there’s just no time for an outfit change pit stop. Both pieces—a lightweight white cotton sweater and white twill wide-leg trousers—are fairly casual, but together have a feeling of sophistication that’s perfect for fall.

If you’re looking for something a little fancier that can easily go from day to night, try this white chiffon pleated skirt and white crepe blouse ensemble. It’s just the thing for brunches, morning meetings, after-work drinks, date-night dinners, pretty much anything on your calendar this fall!

All white everything doesn’t automatically mean a layered look. Case and point: this little white polyester shift dress. Perfect for those days when you hit snooze one too many times and have zero time to outfit plan, simply toss on this one-piece wonder with a pair of statement shoes and you’re ready for anything from giving a presentation to attending a late night party.

If you don’t want to worry about matching up white separates but still want to achieve the look of separates, a white silk jumpsuit is the perfect way for you to rock the all-white look. To make it cold-weather appropriate, simply toss on a chunky white sweater and flats.

Chic looks for Labor Day weekend celebrations. Whether you’re BBQing, brunching, lounging seaside or running around the city, you’re sure to find the perfect look with this roundup by Fashion Fabrics Club.

Rayon Jumpsuit

A rayon jumpsuit over a classic white T and fresh pair of sneaks is the perfect way to kick off your long weekend; it’s a no-brainer look that feels like you’re still in your PJs (major bonus) and can easily be dressed up with a pair of heels for after-hour fun.

All White Everything

Though the rules about wearing white after Labor Day are no longer a thing, it’s still a great excuse to break out all your white this weekend. Layer on your favorite summer whites—white cotton T (extra points for a cool graphic), white denim cutoffs, and top it all off with a blazer in crisp white suiting fabric to keep things classy.

Swing dress

A sweet little swing dress in polyester crepe makes an easy task of the summer style hustle, appropriate for nearly anything on the social agenda from festivals to seaside strolls. Expert tip: To take this essential piece into cool-weather season simply add a long sleeved T underneath, a pair of tights, and chic pair of booties. Done and done.

Gingham

Summer’s quintessential pattern, gingham, is just the thing for all your Labor Day weekend festivities. For dressier occasions, go for an all-over gingham print dress with a pair of heels and for more laid-back events, pair a cute gingham tank with a pair of white denim skinnies and sandals.

As summer starts to wind down, Fashion Fabrics Club takes a look forward to next season’s biggest trends to help you get your wardrobe in check for the fall season.

Plaids

Next season we’re seeing a reinvention of classic plaid. Instead of the typical subdued, earthy shades it’s being turned out in big, bold hues inspired by the “more is more” fashion of the ‘80s. And it’s not just in blazers, it’s being used in pants, tops, skirts, dresses, nearly everything.

Wide-Leg Trousers

From vacation-ready cropped culottes to office-worthy high-waisted trousers, the wide leg trend is having a major moment right now and we see no signs of it slowing down in fall. The fabrics will just be a bit heavier, think: tweeds, heavy twills, thick denim, etc.

Metallics

Shiny textiles and metallic fabrics are going to be all the rage next season. No matter what your styles, there’s a way for you to play to the trend from whimsical sparkle-clad tulle skirts to fierce, futuristic looking metallic bomber jackets.

Fuzzy Accents

The evolution of the fur trend for next season is a little pared back compared to the bold, oversized furs we saw last year (not that we’re saying those will be going away this year). Extras like shearling vests, fur-trimmed jackets and boots, and fuzzy sweaters, bags and accessories will be adorning the looks of style mavens everywhere this fall.

Chances are you have a wedding on the calendar over the next couple months and it can be hard to know just what to wear when the day could end up being a hot summer day or a crisp and cool fall day. But you’re in luck, Fashion Fabrics Club has rounded up a few looks that will work either way, so you can look your best without any worry.

Burgundy Chiffon

This burgundy chiffon midi dress is the perfect mix of fall and summer for a late August to September wedding. The deep burgundy color plays to fall’s darker palette while the flowy chiffon keeps things airy and light. Bring along a light pashmina for after sundown and you’re set for any temperature.

Dark Coral Crepe

This piece embodies the best of summer dressing—a slouchy laid-back silhouette and pop of color—but thanks to a long hemline and extended sleeves, is still right on for the beginning of fall, too. Simply dress this dark coral crepe wrap up with shiny accessories to make is special occasion-worthy.

Floral Chiffon

If you’re looking for something with a floral punch without being overly summery, this piece is just the thing. The soft gray background makes the floral chiffon fall-appropriate while still being right on for the thick of summer.

Mustard Silk

Mustard yellow can look quite sophisticated when done up in the right way. Here, in a slinky silk dress it looks decidedly elegant, perfect for weddings that are on the more formal side of the spectrum. Plus, the silk will keep you cool if it’s hot and warm if it’s not.

As we head into the latter half of the season and temperatures start to dip when the sun goes down, summer sweaters (yes, that’s a thing!) become a wardrobe essential. Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s recommendations on what lightweight fabrics to use to make the best sweaters for summer.

The Long Cardigan

Perfect for taking you from summer to fall, a long cardigan in a lightweight sweater knit makes for the perfect top layer on cooler summer days and a cozy addition to a fall ensemble.

The Cropped Sweater

The crop top trend shows no signs of stopping, and it’s showing up in sweater form as we head into the new season. For something you can start wearing right now, opt for a lightweight ribbed sweater knit like this ruffle-embellished button-up here. It’s the perfect mix of warm and cool for getting through in-between season.

The Loose Knit

This sweater combines breezy airiness with cozy comfort thanks to a loose sweater knit that teases a little skin exposure. This is just the thing to transform your tank-and-jeans summer look into a fall-ready ensemble.

The Short Sleeved Sweater

If you’re not ready to dive into long sleeves quite yet (no judgement here), go for the short sleeved draped sweater in a loose sweater knit. It offers a little layer of warmth, but has enough slouch and openness to keep things airy and light.

The V-Neck Sweater

An essential year round, the V-neck sweater makes for the perfect piece for transitioning from summer to fall. In luxe cashmere, it’s at the same time lightweight and extremely cozy—a major win for battling the temperamental late summer weather.

Terry cloth’s soft feel and incredible absorbency makes it an obvious pick for things like wash cloths, towels, and robes—but when it’s used in a fashion piece it brings in a whole new level of unexpected chic. Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of cool ways to add the summer-perfect fabric to your look right now.

Tunic Dress

This oversized terry cloth tunic dress combines PJ-like comfort with major impact for an effortlessly chic piece you can count on in a pinch. As the seasons start to shift, simply add a pair of skinny jeans or leggings for an added layer of warmth.

Jumpsuit

The jumpsuit trend continues with no sign of slowing down. In casual terry, the utilitarian-inspired piece gets a sporty twist that plays perfectly to the athleisure moment. Simply pair with a sports bra and sneakers and you’re good to go.

Shorts

Terry cloth shorts have the kind of super absorbent, quick-drying properties that make them the ultimate pick for beach trips. No need to wait to dry completely before putting them on and sand just shakes right off.

Sweatshirt

As we head into the latter half of the season and the nights begin to cool, summer sweatshirts become more important than ever. Terry cloth is just the thing: lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-free it’s an easy piece to toss into a bag for when the sun goes down and the temp starts to drop.

Jacket

Terry cloth is also a fun way to inject your favorite pieces with a sporty feel. Take the coveted denim jacket for example, with terry cloth sleeves and hood, it gets a whole new sporty-chic look.

The chic bottoms you need to get you through the rest of summer in ultimate style (and comfort, of course). Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of cute summer bottoms for traveling, lounging, exploring, and everything else you’re up to for the rest of sunny season.

Linen Trousers

Airy, breezy, and super light, linen is an essential summer fabric. While typically used in more relaxed, slouchy pieces, when linen is used in more tailored silhouettes, like the streamlined trousers shown here, it makes for a chic, put-together look that still keeps you in ultimate cooling comfort.

Drawstring Pants

Let’s face it, looking polished when the weather is sticky and hot is not an easy task. Luckily, we’ve got just the thing to keep you in check: a pair of silky black rayon joggers with an easy drawstring waist. Pair with a silky blouse and barely there heels like this chic ensemble here and you’ve got a failsafe look that’ll keep you cool and looking professional.

The Skort

Pack this piece on all your upcoming getaways. A stretchy black polyester skort takes all the guesswork out of getting dressed, it’s chic, super comfy and perfect for nearly any occasion. Pair with a graphic T for a casual look, or toss on a slinky top and heels to dress it up.

Lace Shorts

PJ-like comfort that’s still totally dressed up? Cue lace shorts. With an elastic band at the waist and a soft jersey lining, they’re incredibly comfortable while the tiered lacing keeps things feminine and chic.

Chiffon Midi Skirt

When you need to get out the door in 60 seconds or less and have had zero time to plan your look, reach for a chiffon midi skirt. Simply pair it with a classic white T and a pair of sandals, and you have yourself a killer look that appears as if you spent all morning getting ready (little do they know…).
