Brocade it!

Looking for another fall trend? Well, feast your eyes on Brocade.  Fall runways were filled with these embellished skirts, shirts, dresses and pants.  Brocade is simply a rich fabric with a raised pattern - usually gold or silver - but this season we are seeing all colors and even tone on tone brocade pieces.  This intricately woven fabric can bring the perfect regal elegance to your favorite modern silhouettes - think Marie Antoinette. 
 
Celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez and Kristen Stewart have been rocking this trend all over the red carpets.  And, Carrie Underwood even wore brocade shorts for a more casual look while performing on stage.
 


 
If you are feeling a little overwhelmed by such bold, over-the-top opulent fabric remember the brocade pattern can look like anything from metallic jacquard print to just foil embellishments.  And, it can even be done in the same color as the background fabric - so as not to stand out so much.  If a dress isn't your thing, brocade can be found in pants, skirts, leggings and even shoes.


So embrace your inner royalty and wear brocade.  You are sure to turn heads when you walk in the room in this luxurious trend.
