Trend Alert: Dark Romance

Take a walk on fall’s dark side by dressing in hues of oxblood and black while channeling inspiration from the 17th century. Seen on the runways from lace booties and sculptured jewelry to embellished bags and detachable embroidered collars the trend of Dark Romance is definitely on point for this Autumn Winter season.

While the name may conjure up gory images, oxblood is the must-have color of the Autumn Winter season. Seen in everything from tops and jackets to dresses and pants this deep dark red hue has made a huge comeback. To incorporate fall’s favorite shade into your daily look opt for a pair of oxblood colored booties or take twist to the classic leather jacket and reach for this staple in a deep red shade.

Hues of black should forever be a staple color in your wardrobe, however, this season think lace, leather and faux fur and take your blacks to a new level channeling a ladylike gothic appeal. To subtly achieve Autumn Winter’s Dark Romance trend try mixing a delicate lace black scarf into your daily cold weather style.

It’s no secret that inspiration from the 17th century, otherwise known as the baroque trend, is everywhere this season. From blouses and dresses to skirts and pants many of the colder season’s favorite garments are comprised of lush luxe fabrics like silk, velvet, brocade and leather. Nevertheless this trend is not limited to clothing but expands to shoes, think velvet slippers and lace up booties, and accessories as well. With gold chandelier earrings, stone incrusted cocktail rings, and stackable cuffs 17th century-influenced jewelry is major this Autumn Winter season.
