I’m not usually a huge Ralph Lauren fan, but I do love what he’s presented for his Resort 09 collection. Lots of bright whites and flowing chiffon gowns, all of which would be perfect for a trip to the islands. My only beef is that some of the outfits are a little too matchy-matchy, like the print dress above with a purse made out of the same print fabric. I think they would be fine on their own, but hey, I’m not the designer 🙂
You can view the entire collection here.
Now here’s an area I’m a little wary of for fall: the big bow.
Do they look feminine and flirty? Or saccharine and silly? I guess it really depends on the size of the bow and well as the color and presentation of the garment.
I might give the woman’s answer to the man’s tie a shot with Butterick 4985.
If the fall runway shows were any indication, big oversized sweaters will be a dominate trend when the weather turns cool.
It’s almost as if the woolen sweater has replaced the wool coat. The lengths are reminiscent of such, and the drape of the knits seems that they would be warm and comfortable to wear.
