Fall/Winter 2010 – Tailored Looks

The trends of Fall/Winter 2010 are all about classic sophistication, and sharp clean lines.  It takes basic silhouettes, and quality classic pieces to make any wardrobe functional, regardless of the fashion season.  Therefore I highly recommend, all women take advantage of the opportunity to get their core wardrobe in shape.  Focus on buying classic silhouettes that are in the right cuts, fabrics, and colors for you!

Gucci Fall/Winter 2010

Tailored looks ruled the runways during New York Fashion Week.  So ladies, it’s time to find a trust worthy tailor near you, and invest the time and money into getting a custom fit.  Often women settle on garments that have a less than perfect fit.  We stand in the mirror, and know that the waist should be taken in, and say “This will do”.  Ladies hear me clear, our bodies are not the problem, un-standardized sizing in the fashion industry is the issue.  So let’s take control of how clothes fit our bodies this season.  We need to buy slightly larger garments and have them tailored for a perfect fit.

Many of my clients are surprised to find out that tailoring is not as expensive as they think.  Take a look at some of the average costs in the DC metro area below:

Basic Hem – $12 to $20

Waists – $15 to $20

Seam Repair – $4 and up

So, ladies I know we are in the heat of summer; however I am a firm believer that great personal style cannot be rushed.  Start taking inventory of what’s in your current wardrobe and start building your Fall/Winter 2010 shopping list today!
