FASHION IS ONE OF OUR MORE INTERESTING CONCEPTS, IN THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER, AND NO END IN SITE. FASHION CONSTANTLY ADAPTS TO CHANGING TRENDS AND PREFERENCES, AND EVEN TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. HOWEVER, WHILE THERE ARE AGAIN NO “WRONG” WAYS TO APPROACH FASHION, THERE ARE OF COURSE THOSE WHO ARE LESS SKILLED AT EXPRESSING THEMSELVES EFFECTIVELY.  FOR EXAMPLE, MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE LESS FAMILIAR WITH ESTABLISHED FASHIONS SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT COLOUR IS EQUAL TO EXPRESSION; ESSENTIALLY, THE MORE COLOURFUL OR BRIGHT YOU ARE, THE MORE FASHIONABLE YOU APPEAR. THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT AT ALL AN ESTABLISHED RULE OR IDEA. IN FACT, IN MANY HIGH-END FASHION CIRCLES, IT IS THE BLACK, WHITE AND GREY CLOTHING THAT IS CONSIDERED MOST CHIC. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO SOME RESEARCH AND SHOPPING AROUND HIGH-END DESIGNER BRANDS SUCH AS BARBOUR AT MY-WARDROBE, YOU WILL LIKELY FIND A LOT OF DARK CLOTHING AND LEATHER BOOTS AND JACKETS. PARTICULARLY AS WE APPROACH THE FALL SEASON, IT IS THESE SORTS OF CLOTHING THAT WILL BE MOST DESIRABLE. AGAIN, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK INTO BRAND SUCH AS BARBOUR, IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHY. ON BOTH MEN’S AND WOMEN’S SIDE, BARBOUR OFFERS A NUMBER OF ATTRACTIVE, DARK LEATHER OPTIONS, FROM JACKETS AND HANDBAGS TO BOOTS.  SUGGESTING THESE SORTS OF OPTIONS IS NOT TO SAY THAT COLOURFUL STYLES ARE WRONG OR UNFASHIONABLE BY ANY MEANS. HOWEVER, IT IS GENERALLY TRUE (IF YOU CAN SAY THAT ANYTHING IN FASHION IS TRUE OR FALSE) THAT LIGHTER, COLOURFUL OR BRIGHTER CLOTHING IS GENERALLY BETTER SUITED FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS. HOWEVER, AS THE SEASONS CHANGE AND THE WEATHER GETS COLDER AND THE DAYS SHORTER AND DARKER, IT IS USUALLY APPARENT THAT PEOPLE SHIFT THEIR WARDROBES TO MATCH THE CHANGE. AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT USHER IN A COMPLETE LACK OF COLOUR BY ANY MEANS; YET THE MAJORITY OF THE FALL JACKETS AND PANTS, OR BOOTS AND GLOVES THAT YOU SEE ARE GENERALLY BLACK, GREY OR DARK BROWN. ULTIMATELY, OF COURSE, YOUR FASHION CHOICES ARE UP TO YOU AND YOU ALONE. HOWEVER IF YOU WISH TO EXPRESS YOURSELF, YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO FIND THE CLOTHING AND STYLES NECESSARY TO DO SO. BUT, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WHAT IS CONSIDERED “FASHIONABLE” THIS FALL, OR YOU WANT TO FIT INTO A CLASSIC STYLE, YOU MAY WANT TO AT LEAST CONSIDER SOME DARKER, LEATHER OPTIONS. YOU MAY FIND THAT YOU REALLY ENJOY THIS SORT OF SIMPLIFIED YET STILL FASHIONABLE APPROACH. BY MY-WARDROBE
