Embracing the Seasonal Shift: Fall Fashion Trends

As Summer 2024 wraps up, we’re saying farewell to an unforgettable BRAT summer. This summer was all about unpredictability, and we embraced every bit of it! From BRAT green, edgy rave girl vibes to smoky eyes paired with sporty sunglasses and goggles, the season was a true style adventure. Now, as we shift from BRAT summer to a ‘demure’ fall, it’s the perfect time to reflect on this transition.

The BRAT summer trend inspired people to incorporate that distinctive lime green into their wardrobes and everyday looks. Rather than shopping for new pieces, many chose sustainable methods to upcycle their existing garments and give them a BRAT-inspired twist. In our previous blog post, we explored various upcycling techniques, such as chain stitching and printing– just a glimpse of the many services offered at NYES.

While upcycling remains perpetually stylish, it’s time to focus on Fall 2024. Let’s explore upcoming trends and how NYES can help you refresh and elevate your fall wardrobe with fresh inspiration.

Leopard Print

Throughout this year, leopard print has been steadily gaining attention, ready to dominate our wardrobes! With its rich browns and creams, fall is the ideal season to embrace this pattern! To enhance and refine your leopard print pieces, you could consider adding smocking and shirring. Smocking is a decoration on a garment created by gathering a section of the material into tight pleats and holding them together with parallel stitches in an ornamental pattern. Elastic shirring is a sewing technique that involves gathering fabric using elastic thread to create a stretchy and decorative effect. NYES offers both techniques, whether you’re launching a new business or refreshing your personal wardrobe. We’re here to assist with all your needs!

Cherry Red

Cherry red has surged into the spotlight this fall 2024, captivating both runways and street style with its vibrant energy! This striking color is surprisingly versatile and delivers the high-fashion flair that many seek. At NYES, we can seamlessly integrate cherry red into your wardrobe through various methods, including embroidery, printing, or punching on your chosen fabric.

Studs

Studded details bring an edgy, bold touch to any garment. Whether it’s shoes, handbags, or jeans, studs can transform your items into unique, standout pieces. At NYES, we provide punch-on services for a wide range of materials and sizes. We’ll position the studs exactly where you want them and secure them using our professional tools. Our punch-on services are meticulously carried out to ensure top-notch quality and a flawless finish.
