The fur trend is the perfect hot off the runway look you need this season! However, if you can’t afford the real thing, be warm, glam and guilt-free with faux fur! If you’re looking to invest on some luxury for your wardrobe, but find it unsettling to be spending your entire Christmas bonus on one item, you might want to try accessorizing with faux fur. Faux fur today is made to look and feel identical to the real thing so no one will be able to tell whether it’s real or fake, unless of course you run into Tim Gunn!

Runway Trends: What Nail Colors To Pair Them With

Filed under Instructions

Have you ever wondered what nail polish color looks best with the hot trends for fall? Well here are three of the hottest trends straight from the runway paired with the best nail polish options.

The first trend is polka dots. This dotted up look, from the dress to the dot printed pantyhose is modern yet still gives off that retro 70′s vibe. Instyle magazine paired this look with a suede grey polish,that enhances the modernness of the dots, but is also a great neutral color that can go with many other styles.

The second trend this fall is fur (or faux fur). Faux fur is inexpensive and can add class to any outfit. To really give off a rich and luxurious persona, pair it with a deep burgundy polish. Dark polish is a fall/winter must and when worn with this faux fur style you will be one trendy gal!

The third trend is lady like sophistication. With a peacoat or trench, and a feminine flowing skirt, this look is great for those family holiday get-togethers or just a sunday morning stroll. Polish it off with a rich camel colored nail. Nudes are great because they are toned down enough for a day at work, and trendy enough to be worn out to a dinner date.

Fall is the perfect time to switch up your bag, and here are some styles we love!! Be prepared to see a lot of embellishments, like metal studs and feather accessorized satchels, totes and hobo bags. It’s all about adding texture and eye-catching details this fall so don’t be afraid to try out a new style. Dots has a new fur hobo bag with two different sized leather straps, so you can wear it either as an over the shoulder bag or across the body. Purses that have different length straps are always a good investment because they can be worn different ways, depending on where you are or what you are doing. A studded satchel with lots of buckles will add an edgy vibe to any look, while still looking structured and put together.
