Combining fabrics with different textures and sheens adds interest to your look. Rather than adding complexity to your outfit by piling on jewelry or layers, just choose pieces that have different textures. This trend, like camel, has a luxury feel. And the greatest part: you can pull off this trend without spending a single dollar. Use what you have in your closet to create a new outfit. Take a silk top and wear it with tweed trousers and a cashmere cardigan. Try wearing a chunky sweater belted with a wide suede belt and a velvet skirt. Mix and match to your heart's content. To really achieve this trend to its full potential, be sure that the fabrics have contrasting feels. Mixing cashmere and Merino wool won't give you the same look as mixing velvet and silk. Men can indulge in this trend by introducing herringbone, tweed and other classic fabrics into their wardrobe. A tweed blazer with an Oxford-cloth, button-down shirt and jeans is an update on a classic look. Mixing textures can also be used when it comes to your jewelry and accessories. Wear a Lucite bangle with a leather cuff. Try mixing a rhinestone necklace with a delicate chain. It is all about experimenting and finding the combinations you love. These three trends will keep you looking modern and stylish through the fall and winter in the Queen City. If you remember them when you head out for fall shopping and find the pieces that fit your style, you can assemble that contemporary look that's uniquely you.
