October Fashion Finds

The leaves will be changing soon, pumpkins will be on our porches, and the air will be cooler. Fall is here, and that means updating your wardrobe. You can extend the life of your favorite tees, tanks, and dresses from spring and summer by pairing them with new pieces, like cardigans, hoodies, and leggings for fall.

 

After seeing so many pairs of basic leggings over the years, the buyers at Bodywear Boutique decided it was time to make things interesting. This season, we have leggings with all sorts of details from zippers to ruching to keep you in style. The Divine Wear Leggings picture below are ruched and work well with boots and tees. As a bonus, they're also great for yoga.

One of our all-time best selling items is the Pink Lotus Pleated Hoodie. We now have it available in both blue and grey, with matching leggings available for the blue version. This jacket is fabulous due to its versatility, with its pleats and princess seaming it can be dressed up or down. The modal and cotton fabric is a moderate weight, so it’s perfect for cooler temperatures.

You may also want to treat yourself to a glamorous, unexpected look for day or evening by wearing the Green Dragon PalazzoPants. Pair them with a fitted top, like the Green Dragon Baseball Tee (shown below) for a chic downtown style, or pair them with a loose fit blouse-y top for a bohemian look.

We love the Crown Jewel Thermal Jacket in Burgundy. Shades of Bordeaux, red, and crimson are a must for updating your wardrobe this fall. This soft, cozy jacket is flattering, fitted, and trendy. It doesn’t hurt that the lightweight hoodie will also keep your comfortable.

From the Runway to Real Life: How to Wear Palazzo Pants

After the best part of the last five years being dominated by the skinny jean, we’re waving goodbye to the skin tight and rushing in a relaxed, cool sillhouette. It’s now most certainly a case of the wider, the better. From patterns at Vivienne Tam to the reworking of the pleated palazzo; the era of the trouser is definitely upon us. Surprisingly, this new wide-leg trouser suits everyone and anyone.

 

The question on everybody’s lips is, "How do I wear the palazzo pants?" There are a variety of options.You can play up your sophisticated and elegant side by pairing them with a ladylike blouse and a narrow waist belt. Of course, you can also pay homage to 70s era cool with a loose tee, wide-brimmed floppy hat and sky-high wedges. Alternatively, you may want to increase the palazzo’s laid back ease and wear them with your favorite tee and most comfortable pair of flats . 

Palazzo pants have been making the rounds on the runways. While not all of us can get our hands on a coveted pair of Chloe trousers, there are many other more affordable, equally stylish options. 

For lounge and sophisticated evenings on the town, we suggest the stylish yet comfortable, Green Dragon Palazzo Pants. 

For work and weekend, the Pink Lotus Twill Drawstring Palazzos  work nicely with flats and heels. 

Happy Styling!
