The temperatures may be dropping, but the season’s most coveted color is bringing the heat. Here are 5 ways to incorporate power red into your look right now, courtesy of Fashion Fabrics Club.

Power Suit

Suits can tend to look, well, blah—but when rendered in bright red suiting fabric, it’s taken to a much more exciting and dramatic place. Keep the accessories to a minimum, a lesson from Blake Lively, to keep things classy.

Oversized Blazer

If you don’t want to dive into head-to-toe red, try tossing on an oversized red twill blazer over jeans and a button up for a professional look that’s in no way boring.

Sweaterdress

For brunching, window-shopping, and weekending, try a bright red sweater knit in a tunic sweaterdress. Pair with over-the-knee boots to make a statement, or with leggings and flats for a more casual-cool look.

Chiffon Maxi

In a flowy fabric like chiffon, the fierceness of the powerful vivid red is softened, giving it a more feminine appeal that works perfectly with dressy tops like a sequin T. This is an easy-chic look that will wow at every holiday party.

Lace Top

Another way to make this fierce color feel more feminine is by bringing it into your look using luxurious lace. Try a red lace top with a pair of black denim and heels for a dressy look that’s not over the top.

Give your wardrobe a jumpstart with the top five most coveted fashion pieces of the season. Dictated by the runways and broken down for you by your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Power Red

The official color of fall 2017, power red made its debut on the runways by notable fashion designers including Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, and Givenchy—and that’s just to name a few. It seems the fashion set is trading in the cutesy millennial pink for something with more drama and power. A possible reaction to the current political climate? We think maybe.

Fur

Break out your grandmother’s mink; opulent fur coats are all the rage this fall. But don’t worry, if genuine fur isn’t your thing, today’s faux furs look and feel like the real thing, without the guilt. Insider tip: the more vintage the look, the better.

Plaid

Fashion designers are still mad about plaid, but for 2017 it’s all about the mod ‘70s vibe. Patterns feature dusty browns, burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and avocado greens in everything from long top coats to formal gowns to trousers.

Trench

This year, the classic trench finds a new favorite fabric: nylon. And that’s a big bonus for the frequent traveller, this packable piece takes up little room in the suitcase and the nylon keeps it from getting all wrinkled.

Velvet

A carryover from last year, the velvet trend remains a major crush among the fashion set. This year we’re seeing it in a lot of sophisticated jewel tones in more formal pieces, but in more laid-back pieces like a hoodie it’s an easy way to elevate everyday looks.

Don’t feel like dressing up in a full-on costume for Halloween this year but still want to look festive? Fashion Fabrics Club has the solution; read our round up of chic orange-and-black looks you can copy for the upcoming holiday.

Strips & Gingham

Embrace the power of print mixing with a black-and-white striped sweater and an orange gingham print poking out underneath for an on-trend look with a subtle Halloween kick.

Orange Pop

Take a classic look like a black cotton long sleeved T and black-and-white striped A-line midi and transform it into a Halloween-ready look with one simple addition: a bright pop of an orange accessory.

Colorblock

For a sophisticated take, pair your favorite chunky black sweater knit with a pair of rust colored twill cigarette pants. Dress it up with heels, or go more laidback with a simple pair of flats.

Office-Ready

If your office doesn’t let you dress up but you still want to play up the spooky day with your look, here’s an easy, office-appropriate option: a pencil skirt in black suiting, white cotton blouse, and an orange cashmere cardigan.

Suede

For something a little less obvious, you can use camel suede as your “orange” like these suede crops and pair with simple black pieces.

Playing into the monochrome moment has never been so easy—check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s top five recommendations for rocking the tonal trend.

Completely Camel

For an effortlessly cool look, try putting together laid-back pieces in the same shade of camel like a cozy camel wool sweater and camel terry cloth joggers. To add some polish, complete the look with pointy flats.

All Black Everything

A wardrobe failsafe, all-black ensembles have the kind of versatility that keeps you polished even if you’re unsure of the dress code. Black jeans and a black T is an easy go-to, but for something with a little more oomph, try a black sweater knit top paired with a black faux leather skirt.

Emerald City

Monochrome looks don’t have to be all neutrals, in fact, in a sophisticated shade like deep emerald it makes for an easy look that can go totally casual and even super dressy, depending on how you accessorize. Try a sweater knit on top and silk wide-leg trousers.

Red Hot

Dare to dazzle in head-to-toe scarlet, the famed color of the moment. For everyday, keep the pieces casual like an oversized red sweater knit with an A-line red cotton twill skirt. Add tonal pumps for extra punch.

Gray Matter

All gray is probably the easiest way to rock the monochromatic look, unlike other colors, all the pieces do not have to be of the same hue, instead you can mix lighter and darker grays all in one look without looking messy. For something unexpected, try a gray cotton turtleneck with a gray satin midi skirt, topped off with a gray wool topcoat and matching booties.

Stay warm and chic this season with cozy wool pieces. Here are some on-trend ways to wear the fuzzy fabric from your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Mini Skirt

Once you add a wool skirt to your wardrobe, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. A great transitional piece, you can start wearing it as soon as fall hits with bare legs and once winter arrives, just add tights.

Plaid Scarf

An extra layer is always a good idea when it comes to fall dressing, and a classic plaid wool scarf is an easy answer. Tuck it into your bag on all your adventures—it also doubles as a cute picnic blanket, too!

Tweed Coat

For those cool but not full-on cold days, a light tweed jacket is the perfect pick. To keep it versatile, opt for a classic neutral like camel, grey, or black. Or you can go for a bright color to dial up the impact.

Chunky Sweater

A winter live-in essential, the oversized, chunky wool sweater takes the guesswork out of cold weather dressing, simply toss on with a favorite pair of skinnies or leggings and go!

Long Cardigan

A long wool cardigan offers an easy and comfy way to transform your go-to summer look of a tank and jeans into a chic fall-ready ensemble. Insider tip: It’s also great as an added layer over a dress-and-tights look.

If you’re looking for an easy way to rev up your look this season, Fashion Fabrics Club has an easy answer: metallics and shine. Here, find four fun and unexpected ways to rock the season’s shiny obsession.

Pleated Maxi Skirt

A trend we saw everywhere last time this year continues: metallic pleated maxi skirts in lush jewel tones. What’s great about this piece is that you can wear it to all your holiday parties, but it can also work for everyday when paired with streety pieces like moto jackets.

Mini Skirt

If you’re looking for something with a little more sex appeal, try a classic mini skirt in metallic stretch denim. It wears as comfortably as your favorite denim skirt, but the metallic finish gives it a little more edge. Go bare legged, or pair with black tights on cooler days.

Silver Tank

Transform your go-to jeans and a sweater into a super on-trend ensemble by simply adding one special focal point: a crinkled silver metallic tank. With a skirt and heels, it’s undeniably fancy, but when paired with an everyday look it goes to a much more laid-back place.

Shiny Sweater

Prefer your shimmer served cozy? Try a sweater knit with a hint of shine, it will go with all your favorite jeans, looks cute with skirts too, and it can act as a top layer on crisp fall days. Major style win.

Utility

A medium weight twill utility jacket is perfect for adding an extra layer of casual-cool warmth to your look. It’s one of those versatile pieces you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again, all season long.

Moto

Whether you prefer genuine or vegan leather, a moto jacket offers an edgy, citified twist to your go-to basics. On chilly days, pair with a chunky sweater, and on warmer days simply toss it on over a plain white T.

Denim

A denim jacket is an essential year-round piece, going with everything from sundresses to leggings. To give it a cozy feel for the cool weather months, try adding a shearling collar and/or lining.

Blazer

Tossing on a blazer is an instant was to pull together a look, and happens to be the perfect weight for a crisp fall day. You can opt for the more traditional suiting fabric to keep things polished, or you could use a sweater knit to stay casual.

Trench

Fall tends to bring quite a bit of wet weather, to stay dry and stylish, a water resistant twill trench is essential.

PJ-like comfort for any hour—soft jersey pieces combine sporty-chic with casual cool, keeping you comfy and stylish as we head into cold-weather season. Fashion Fabrics Club lays out 5 essential pieces you should add to your collection right now.

T-Shirt Dress

A cotton jersey T-shirt dress is one of those pieces that you never want to take off. It has all the comfort of a nightgown, but is cute enough to go out in—a major style win. To crank up the versatility, try a solid-colored jersey in a swing silhouette.

Joggers

Cotton jersey joggers combine the comfort of sweatpants with tailored sophistication. Pair with sneakers and a sweater for a super relaxed look, or opt for something more unexpected and try them with a blazer and heels.

Pencil Skirt

A stretchy cotton jersey pencil skirt is the most comfortable way to show off those curves. It’s an easy basic that can be dressed up or down, depending on the pairing. Go edgy with a T-shirt, moto jacket and combat boots, go casual with a slouchy T tucked in, the options are nearly endless.

Long Cardigan

Lightweight layers are essential for keeping up with the season’s unpredictable temperature changes. Try a full-length cotton jersey cardigan; it not only adds a layer of warmth, but also a layer of intrigue to your look (much more so than a traditional waist-length cardi).

Blazer

When all you want to wear is a sweatshirt but the day requires you to look polished, a jersey blazer is the piece you need; relaxed yet totally put together. Pair with cigarette pants and heels or tailored flats for a cute workday look.

On the hunt for the perfect transitional fabric to add to your wardrobe? Look no further. Silk answers the call in the most stylish and elegant way, and Fashion Fabrics Club has a whole host of colors to choose from—and a few suggestions on what pieces to add to your fall collection.

Shirtdress

The shirtdress is perennially chic, and for fall it’s perfect in a silk crepe with a leather belt and a pair of boots. On cooler days, simply toss on a knee-length cardigan and scarf.

Long Sleeved Blouse

Swap your traditional long sleeved cotton T for a flowy, whimsical silk to bring an element of sophistication to your fall look. It’s an easy pairing with nearly everything from the most distressed denim to the most polished pants (and skirts, too!).

Slip Dress

A silk slip dress is a perfect pick for fall, especially in an autumnal shade and in a long, leg-covering length. Simply toss on a full-length trench or any of your other favorite fall coats.

Skirt

For a look that’s at the same time polished and casual, try a slinky silk skirt with a slouchy sweater. To add another layer of visual intrigue, add a pair of soft suede heels.

Button Down

A cotton button down is just perfect, but when the style is turned out in a luxurious silk, it’s taken to a much softer and sophisticated place. Try it in an ivory colored silk as the bottom layer underneath a sleeveless cardigan for an effortlessly cool look.

One day it’s full-on fall, the next it’s back to sunny summer temps—talk about a wardrobe conundrum! Luckily, Fashion Fabrics Club has the answer: chic prints you can mix and match with both your cool and warm weather favorites.

Floral Chiffon

The right floral chiffon can offer an easy pairing with a favorite leather skirt or jeans for these in-between-seasons moments. The sheerness evokes summer breeziness, so the key for making it right for right now is in the coloring. Opt for autumn shades in the blooms—yellow, burnt orange, burgundy—with a dark background.

Gingham

At the same time summery (bringing to mind picnics in the park and beach blankets) and fall-ready, gingham is the perfect pick for these seasonally ambiguous days. For an unexpected way to wear the beloved print, try a soft cotton gingham in classic black and white in a swingy midi skirt—a beautiful match with both sweaters and Tees.

Leopard

Leopard, a year-round favorite, is just the thing to turn an otherwise unmemorable outfit into an eye-catching look. Try a soft jersey leopard print in an oversized scarf to add a layer of intrigue (and warmth!) to your basics.

Plaid

Plaid is traditionally known for being a fall/winter print, but can also be a great way to tread the line between summer and fall when done up in the right color palette. Keep things light, airing on the side of whites, creams, pastels, and paler shades.

That saying about not wearing white after Labor Day? Forget it. Some rules were meant to be broken. Wearing white in the fall season is unexpected and incredibly chic and to help you pull it off, Fashion Fabrics Club has rounded up 5 chic looks for you to copy.

Monochrome

Throw caution to the wind and layer on multiple white pieces in one outfit. Take your favorite white denim and white cotton tank from the summer and pair them with an oversized white faux fur cardigan.

Sheath Dress

You can easily transform a go-to white summer sheath dress into a cool fall look with two simple additions: a beige sweater knit cardigan and a pair of leopard print heels.

Button Up

A white button up with dark wash denim has become a seasonless mainstay in the world of fashion. And the vibe is dictated completely by the type of fabric you choose. For a polished, professional look, opt for crisp white cotton, for a laid-back look go with crinkly white linen, and for something that could go either way (depending on how you accessorize) there’s flowy white chiffon.

Silk Tank

Making a summery, dressy white silk tank fall and everyday-appropriate is actually surprising simple. Add a contrasting layer underneath, pair with black denim, and toss on a denim jacket. Done and done.

Chiffon Maxi

Chiffon maxi dresses are great all year long, breezy and airy yet still providing complete coverage. To make a white chiffon maxi fall-ready, just pair with a favorite sweater.

As we enter into tricky in-between-seasons dressing, staying chic is all about having the right color palette. Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s top five shades to add to your collection now that will see you straight through fall.

Olive

Fall’s essential shade, olive green is one of those easy-to-pair hues that acts like a neutral but still offers a subtle kick of color. Olive green twill pants are an easy way to embrace the shade, or try an olive green twill utility jacket or vest for an easy toss-on on cooler days.

Cream

Swapping your summer whites for elegant creams is an easy way to turn the dial towards autumn. Looking for pieces big on versatility? Try a lightweight cream twill trench, creamy denim, or a super soft cream cashmere sweater.

Blush

The low-key pink everyone was obsessed with this summer just so happens to be a perfect shade to transition into fall. Blush’s muted hue makes it pair like a neutral, allowing it to be mixed and matched with a whole host of other colors and patterns.

Gray

Head-to-toe gray is as easy and flattering as head-to-toe black but much more fall-ready. Don’t worry about matching the hues perfectly; having different shades in one look makes it feel more casual and effortless. Try a gray sweater dress with a gray wool jacket and top it all off with a pair of gray suede boots.

Camel

A cool camel is an easy way to dip a toe into fall’s warmer color palette. Try using the neutral in easy extras—like a long camel knit cardigan, leather moto jacket, or fleece scarf—to add a warm layer to your favorite go-tos.
