Fall Fashion: Braiding

This Tuesday I went to the mall, and as I went along browsing through Nordstrom I took note of the trends I saw. All I have to say is that you couldn’t take more than 6 steps without seeing something with some sort of braiding detail in the clothing department. Braiding is huge this fall. Sometimes the straps of the clothing are braided, but mostly you see tops with braiding around the neckline. If you ask me it kind of reminds me of Rami from Project Runway, with all the braiding detail he put on his designs. I picked out a few great pieces with braiding detail that were my favorites.

One of the first tops I found was the Silence & Noise Printed Braid top from Urban Outfitters. I picked this top because not only was it in a cute print but it was different. Instead of the braiding being only on the neck line it travels down the back too, and for only $20 it’s a great buy. Another great find was the braid flutter top from Forever 21 (see left). Not only was it a good price for only $19.80, but it’s cute and casual which is perfect for back-to-school. A top that you can wear this summer but will still be perfect for back-to-school, is the Sparkle and Fade Braided Trim tank from Urban Outfitters (see left). Again, I love that it comes in a striped print. This top will be perfect for those warm fall afternoons when school first starts, because you won’t have to worry about getting hot. Last but not least is the Victoria’s Secret Braided Trim top. I love this top not only because of its color, but because it’s different from some of the other empire waist tops you see. Also the volume of the sleeves adds a little drama and style to any outfit. No matter which piece you choose, wear it braided and you’ll be rocking one of the biggest trends for fall.
