It’s starting to cool off in Spokane, and the cold-weather fashionistas are emerging from the warmth of Summer and letting their Fall ensembles shine.

While sweaters and boots are an autumn staple in the Inland Northwest, it isn’t time to put your summer clothes away just yet. A big trend this season is mixing different styles, like pairing summer crop-tops with high waisted jeans and a baggy cardigan.

“Putting tights under a pair of shorts is a great way to get some extra use out of them,” said Sarah Davey, SFCC student. “You get to create new exciting outfits that are really wearable because you’re still warm, even though you’re wearing clothes from spring and summer.”

Another Fall trend is leggings paired with an oversized sweater and combat boots, which gives the outfit a “shabby chic” appearance.

“Things I have been seeing sell out the most are our prairie pants,” said Patricia O’Callaghan, owner of Tangerine Boutique in downtown Spokane. “They are leggings that look like jeans, but are made with all organic materials.”

“I’ve seen [high low skirts] everywhere this summer and they aren’t going away anytime soon,” said Sheila Tomlinson, a local seamstress. “They feature a hemline that is higher in the front and cascades to floor-length in the back, giving it a dreamy feel. Pairing it with jean jacket and scarf is great way to transition the outfit for chilly weather.”

While these suggestions are currently the most popular for Fall, no matter what you wear the most important thing is that you feel good about yourself.

“Confidence is key. If you have confidence, than any outfit will look great,” said O’Callaghan.
