15 trendy ways to add spice and drama to your Fall wardrobe

These fashion tips will help you kick off the dandiest wardrobe and swank among your friends like a fashion diva.

With winters approaching, pastels and fawns have become passé. This fall every lady’s wardrobe should gleam with shirts of bright and bold shades from the colour wheel. Long sleeves and short necklines will not only keep you safe from the winter frost but will reflect classic elegance on your attire.

But the key is to carry these dresses with solid coloured tights and cigarette pants for fashion of patterned/printed/ embroidered shalwars, pants and palazzos faded a long time ago.

Here are 15 ways to add spice and drama to your fall wardrobe:



If you have a dress with black as the base colour, you know you can pull it off on ANY occasion! This sinfully smart dress is a chic version of a bohemian print with hues of magenta and red bleeding on the dark base. A pair of crystal studs, a satchel bag and stylish flats will add to the look. The best part is, you can dress it up or dress it down as your heart desires, and it will always look great.



Bright yellow with a black base is a combination that literally calls for day and night to reconcile in their existence. A different but delicious brew for those who have a penchant for experiments! The dress becomes much more fun with large flowing sleeves. It can be worn with plain black tights or solid black cigarette pants. For those who do not wear a dupatta, but don’t want to waste the gorgeous material can ditch the conventional way of donning a dupatta and be innovative by tastefully wrapping it around the head like a scarf and tying it around the nape. This look could give Scarlet Johansson from Girl With A Pearl Earring a run for her money. Spice up the look with a bright floral clutch and plug in some earrings in case you are looking for a little extra attention.



For those who cannot let go of their summer favourite; fawns, can incorporate the earthen tone in the winter wear by going for a printed fabric with a biscuit brown base. Adding a little lace to the shirt and fawn sandals could make this ensemble the trendiest wear in Pakistan right now. Wear it to work and if you’re heading out in evening for a quick dinner, pair your dress with bold chandelier earrings and an eastern bag to change the look from formal work attire to a sensual evening dress.



This is one of my ultimate favourites! Bold, contemporary, this look is the perfect amalgamation of modern fashion with eastern tradition. Perfect for a nice winter evening, this Delphi style dress looks hip and perfectly on-point with the Pakistani fashion scene. An A-line coat, paired with rhinestone studs, a bright contrast bag and upbeat sandals will lift the look perfectly.



You can never go overboard with a busy print in hues of chocolate brown and crimson, especially in fall. This dress could be made in so many different styles – long flowing shirt, with a delicate churidaar or a short shirt with cigarette pants – the sky is the limit! Set off the colours by giving yourself a neatly tied up-do and a tinge of nude makeup. Trendy and oriental all at the same time, you can shake up the mix a little and couple it with an ethnic hobo bag, an eastern style pair of brocade flips flops and stone studded red earrings and you have the perfect desi version of lady in red.



For a casual lunch with friends or shopping with your girls, this is the perfect pick; a paneled knee length shirt with large patterns. The shirt will stand out if worn with white tights, a simple patterned bag, traditional silver earrings and a pair of casual flat sandals.



A chic and modest block printed dress in navy blue can always be tailored with stand up collar and printed sleeves. The floral embroidery in hues of pink and green is the perfect splash of colour making it an outfit worthy or a nice formal luncheon or a easy dinner with friends. Spruce up your look with dangling Sedona drop earrings, a floral envelope clutch bag and matching pair of flats with a broad adornment sitting atop.



This silk dupatta is the ultimate must-have this winter! Adorned with a large dramatic rose pattern atop a solid charcoal grey shirt with an equally minimal print, this dress has many many looks to offer. This particular one is classic for an evening out at a formal affair. You can even go ahead and add an element of oomph with layered earrings, an eastern tote and sandals or even a pair of nice black heels.



This light-blue steel coloured dress, primped up with an intricate neckline can be made perfect for an evening wear or a day time meeting. The dupatta adds so much grace to the entire dress. Adding elegant silver pearl earrings, an oriental bag and pair of flat sandals to the mix gives your look a regal, elegant appeal with just the right amount of sizzle.



We over did turquoise and green this summer but yet we can’t seem to get enough of it especially if it is embroidered on a black dress. And there is so much you can do with this dress that offers printed fabric as well as embroidery. Make a formal dress out of it by making a shirt with just the embroidered fabric or add panels with the patterned piece. You can play around with different shades of green when picking a bag and accessories. The best advice is to carry a small bag and wear an elegant pair of heels, and you have a dress perfect for any occasion.



A mustard dress with motifs in blue, brown and pink is an eccentric pick. This is a peculiar print in bright color and checkered sleeve borders is sure to slice off years from your age making you look much younger. Tie your hair in a side parted bun and the look becomes timeless. A set of fawn earrings, a bright silk clutch and sandals will add just the right amount of drama to the look.



Floral prints, embroidery and patterns. Thrown everything on a black colored dress and yet it looks suave. You can wear the shirt to your workplace and also turn this formal shirt into a semi-formal dress just by wearing the dupatta. The bizzare mix of colors on the dupatta gives a very traditional aura to the dress. It can be worn to dinner party, an eastern musical night or any of those pre-wedding dholkis of your friends. Take printed brocade bag, wear a bright pair of flat sandals and a set of dangling crystals in your ears and you're ready to steal the show.



This cobalt blue dress with a cut close neckline is a very modest choice for office wear. The sleeves with regal print and the floral embroidery on the neckline are the most feminine elements of the dress. Add a tribal necklace and earrings and let that headstrong queen in you march in high heels or broached sandals drawing all admiration. The look can be made a little casual with a large tote.



Black with any shade of red is never a faux pas. This one here with a Marsala coloured base with embroidered sleeves and boat neckline is a perfect semi formal attire. The look can be made more fun with silver hoop earrings, ankle strapped matching sandals in bright red and a black bag with patterned brocade. To show off the embroidery and add an aura of royalty tie your hair up in red-carpet style high pony tail and you would be the belle of the ball!



This purple dress with hues of magenta and bright embroidery is one of its kind. With an orange piping snaking down the neckline, the dress has the right amount of dapperness to it. Throw its bright floral dupatta around your shoulders and look your best wearing it with plain solid coloured pants. Adding a set of crystal beautiful tribal earrings and a floral clutch would give the dress the perfect look for an evening with friends.

With all these winter fashion tips put together you can kick off with the dandiest wardrobe and swank among your friends like a fashion diva. For with the right colours and voguing accessories you can be the person of the hour at any given time!
