FALL TRENDS: THE 80'S

The 80's:

With more color and style explosions than any decade to date, the eighties look still delivers playful styles - and where better to get the wild style than with authentic thrift pieces?

They didn't just have great music but also underwent more style explosions than any decade to date and Savers is your one stop shop to get the look. Authentic vintage dresses work perfect with modern accent pieces. Dress up ordinary flats with a retro vibe by adding jeweled accents. Give an old-school jumper a modern day edge with easy alterations. Shorten the hem line, pair with cropped tights and accent with playful costume jewelry. Add embellishments to a simple skirt – cut bows from another pattern and affix with fabric glue to glam up garb. Color block your look by pairing together a few bright vintage finds – or DIY with fabric dye to inexpensively transform any piece into an eighties homage.

FALL TRENDS: COLOR ACCENT

Color Accent:

Basic black outfits get a style upgrade by adding a bright color pop.

Jazz up basic black and plain pieces.

Give a plain tee a facelift - add a contrasting panel.
Men, don't be afraid to go bright this fall! A crisp, bright shirt pairs perfectly with your favorite black slacks. Convert an inexpensive crocheted blanket into an oversized shawl by cutting off excess material. For instant glam: Play up basic pumps with clip-on vintage earrings.
Turn heads by sewing white tulle – borrowed from an old tutu and spray painted – to a plain black skirt.

FALL TRENDS: VOLUME

Volume:

Clothing with big volume rocked the runway this year, and thrift stores provide endless opportunities to have fun creating this big billowy look!

Go big or go home. Rock this look like the runway superstars - Thrift stores are the perfect place to start!

"Trapeze" style dresses, skirts and tops are everywhere this season and vintage finds this look super authentic and ultra-stylish. Turn an outdated pantsuit into a playful top - check out the dress department for waist-cinching styles and just snip off the long skirt for instant flair! Mixing and matching makes for some of the most fabulous flair. Stitch gathers in an old formal dress - tone down with a basic black top and accent with killer boots and a bright belt worn backwards. Who says you can't be comfortable and chic all at the same time? Tip: Slap on a colorful sweater and a breezy skirt and decorate yourself with soft accessories and feminine shoes for a crisp, casual look.

FALL TRENDS: NEUTRAL & SLEEK SILHOUETTE

Neutral & Sleek Silhouette:

Body slimming separates in neutral palettes are one of the season's top contenders. Separates in neutral palettes slim the body and pair well with just about anything. Overcoats are a stellar thrift store snag! Get it: For a sophisticated look, pair with vintage boots, tights and fitted dress. A patterned shirt and tailored jacket combo adds depth to the silhouette. Tip: hit up the boy's dept. for fitted button-ups in like new condition. Skinny belts remain popular and cinch the waist for a tailored look. Don't forget: the classic handbag - at bargain prices, you can afford accessories galore! Suit coats and skinny jeans make quite the pair. The skinny: Find affordable brand name suits in mint condition to be worn as separates or as a set and create your own tapered jeans with a few quick stitches to the ankle inseam.
