On trend for fall: Dare to wear; store it well

What will the well-appointed, custom-designed closet be showing this fall?                                                                      

Here are some of the hot new looks making their way from the catwalks into the classiest wardrobes in town – think Neff Valet closet collection. 

Men’s suits for her. Velvet for him.

For the ladies, it’s menswear-inspired pantsuits softened with strands of pearls and a feminine blouse.  The gentleman who dares to make a statement will be out and about in a velvet sports jacket or, for the most confident, a full velvet suit. 

Both these trends pair nicely with pull down rails for extra closet storage at the top, and cascading pull-out pants rails.

The newest footwear is short and sweet.

Yes, over the knee boots will still be seen, but ankle boots in a wide variety of sporty and dressy styles are so very now.                                                             

No time to search for wayward footwear?  It’s pull-out shoe racks or fully extendable roll-out shoe drawers to the rescue. 

Hats off to chapeaus galore

Many of the top designers are featuring hats of one kind or another. Look for knits, cloches, fedoras that compliment the menswear look, structured or floppy berets, turbans and furry trappers.

The perfect storage solution for your fall hat wardrobe? Leather-trimmed canvas storage boxes – small, medium or large..

A ski lodge look; a grunge vibe

Bundle up in cable knit cardigans in neutral shades; dress down in style with plaid shirts and jackets.

A roll out drawer with graceful, curved glass front panels is a comfy sweater’s best friend.

No twist in these undies   

Luxurious silk or satin undergarments are always in style. But snags and pulls are never trendy.

This season or any season, one of Victoria’s secrets must be a lingerie drawer with adjustable glass partitions.

It will be a jungle out there

Leopard prints are showing up on everything from handbags to cardigans to dressy dresses or kicky flats that go great with jeans.

Before taking that walk on the wild side with an animal print ensemble, lay it all out on the handy closet island. (They’re not just for kitchens.) It’s fashion smart to make sure all the elements of your fabulous outfit don’t clash. 

Just one look      

And when the fashionista is ready for her close-up, a, pivoting, full-length mirror slides out to provide the necessary head-to-toe review.

Top fashion tip for fall: You know your style is one-of-a-kind. Shouldn't your closet be the same?
