The subtle shift to fall often begins with an unexpectedly crisp morning that reminds you to grab a sweater as you step outside. The change in the air becomes palpable as autumn is soon met with the anticipation of soft, wrap-around layers, chunky sweaters, and stylish outerwear. For those who love to layer up, the 2023 fall season has more than enough styles for you to look like you just stepped off the runway.Â
With an eclectic blend of sophistication and daring audaciousness, the trends this fall invite you to take another step outside your comfort zone as you say goodbye to the boring cut-and-paste styles of the past.
Our next super trend is all about living out loud as your most authentic self, and truly doing it your way (DIYW).
Fittingly named Shape of Happiness, this fall 2023 super trend has no shortage of whimsical elements and fun-loving vibes to mix and match to your heart’s happy desire. And if color, shapes, and cartoon couture is your thing, then this trend is for you!Â
Shape of Happiness
It is all about dressing with joy and embracing playfulness. Novelty shapes like hearts, butterflies, and lightning bolts become iconic symbols of self-expression, adding a touch of individuality and charm. This trend brings unexpected fun and surprising color combinations straight off the catwalk and into your closet where you get to DIYW — do it your way!
Color is crucial within the Shape of Happiness trend, and it makes an appearance everywhere! Specific shades can evoke strong emotions, giving you the option to dress for the mood you want to carry with you throughout the day.Â
From vibrant enamel-coated finishes to layers of colorful chains, traditional pieces are amplified, and novelty designs pop. Strands of seed beads, random charms, and loud, happy colors offer a myriad of ways to reinvent yourself and empower you to express your personality.
But the colorful fun isn’t limited to accessories. In the Shape of Happiness trend, color extends to ultra-cool clothing with scraps of neon fabric stitched onto chunky sweaters, sporty patches tacked to jackets, and head-to-toe denim mixed and spliced with color.Â
Shape of Happiness is a look you can live in, inviting you to let loose, explore your playful side, let go of the “rules,” and dress with joy.Â
