Fall 2016 Fashion Trends: Oversized Knit & Pleated Skirt My weekend outfits can almost always be defined in two adjectives; comfy and cosy, especially with fall finally hitting hard. Which is why I am happy to see Pleated Skirts not going anywhere this season, talk about comfy yet stylish. I wore pleats in the spring, last fall and this year I'm at it again. There's nothing more feminine than a piece that has pretty pleats, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this ladylike skirt being a hit on fall 2016-2017 catwalks. Coming in silver and gold at Gucci, in lurex at Max Mara, in colour blocks at Tommy Hilfiger and in velvet at Valentino, it's safe to say that pleats are once again having a moment in fashion.

Having said that, pleats are not as easy to wear in the fall as they are in spring. In the spring pair it with barely there sandals, a cami and denim jacket and off you go. However, when temperatures outside don't allow for such get up we need something a little warmer, and to think outside of the box. To make it seasonal and cool, the easiest way to style a pleated skirt is by adding an Oversized Knit. By teaming up the chunkiest (and cosiest) sweater you own with a feminine skirt, a dress-down take on this oft-smart item is the result. Now I know this look is bold and definitely not for everyone but I like how edgy and out of the ordinary it looks; it is a stylish way to put these two very different pieces together. For shoes, you cannot go wrong with either lace-up heels for a casual romantic dinner or a pair of sporty trainers (think Stan Smiths or plimsolls) for the perfect look for brunch. I personally am loving Metallic Shoes and after frantically shopping around for a pair, I decided on these gorgeous plimsolls from Stradivarius. I originally wanted a pair of silver brogues but after having tried different ones from the likes of Zara and Missguided, none of them seemed comfy enough compared to these trainers. Did I need another pair of trainers? No I most certainly did not, but it was Friday after work, I had had a long and busy work week so I just went ahead and treated myself, no regrets! Needless to say, I am obsessed with them and they have not left my feet ever since so do expect to see a post entirely dedicated to them in the near future, haha. For accessories I mixed different shades of metallics and I am so glad the paradigm of only wearing one specific colour is so last year. If you didn't already know, mixed metallics is a thing so start pulling all of your shiny, shimmery pieces out of your closet and mix and mismatch like there is no tomorrow.  Rock this trend by combining hints of metallics in your shoes, bag, clothes, and even nail polish.

Here's more inspiration on this look: Phew, that's a lot of trends in one post! What do you think of the knit and skirt combo?
