Fall Fashion Report: How to Mix Metallics and Wear Neutrals for Fall

Submitted by Fashion Insider on August 22, 2011 – 4:09 PM2 Comments

Every season my friends always ask me “how to” fashion questions. I thought I would relay some of my answers on to you.

One of the most-asked questions always revolves around mixing metallics and hardware. The answer this question is “yes!” The really good news is that mixed metallics is actually a very fashionable trend right now, and an easy way to show the world you know what you are doing when it comes to fashion.

For me, I just layer on bracelets, necklaces, anything really… it does not matter if it is rose tone, gold tone, silver tone or this season’s hottest metal bronze, it all works together. I promise!

Another question I always get is, “I love wearing colors and prints, but which ones are fashionable for this season?”

I’ve been loving neutral colors for a while now, and they are definitely continuing into this fall. A great way to update a closet full of neutrals is with a neutral-type print like a snakeskin or animal print. Note to all: Animal print never dies! I also love mixing in neutral jewelry like tortoise or bone.

    Dear Lauren,
    my wife doesn’t have long to live yet she wanted me to say what a wonderful job you did on describing how to mix solids with metalics as she has done that since I met her 12 years ago. She is so talented that her friend and her made gucci watches from their vintage bags before the large leather cuff watches were made and became so popular. She has enjoyed HSN and I as well very much . Thank you.

    Dear Lauren Wilner,If my wife wasn’t terminally ill,needs a miracle to stay alive as we lost health Insurance&now she is going to pass away.Fashion is and was her life, as she went to FIDM& was about to start a clothing/accesories line&makeup with her friend(sis)before she got sick.She would wear every item you picked out here as she always wore solid colors that had a unique cut to them&then added big, unique, funky accesories&did her makeup a lot like the host Amy.Questions below thank you.
