On Saturday, Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist and Garance Dore visited Philly for a book signing at The Barnes Foundation. Philadelphians put their best threads forth and wore some awesome ensembles inspired by Fall 2012’s biggest trends, leather, black and gold, camo, over-sized jackets, and pattern mixing among others. It was really inspiring to see all these fashion-conscious young people in one room.

I’m kind of … ok pretty obsessed with this GQ for GAP collaboration featuring the best new menswear designers in America 2012. The Fall 2012 trends for womenswear include a lot odes to masculinity so with that inspiration in mind-and my current love for black and white minimalism-I put this look together featuring Ian Velardi’s Triangle Print shirt ($60), with a cool leather jacket, Uniqlo jeans, some ultra feminine high heels from ASOS, plus a pair of Warby Parker glasses for this cool and confident look.
The shirt that I’m wearing is a men’s xtra-small, it fits quite nicely in the shoulders and neck but the arms are a bit long. It’s super comfortable and is pretty sexy with a nice pencil skirt too.
This GQ for GAP collection has a lot of super cool items, I highly recommend both men and women check out. They’re a couple of items in there that are unisex enough that a girl with the right attitude can rock. The ampersand sweat shirt and pom pom beanie from Saturdays along with my other purchase BLK DENIM’s Liberté tee are two good options.

Summer 2012’s fashion consisted of a lot of intense color blocking and neon colors, Fall 2012 is way more subdued with trends like leather, gold and burgundy dominating. This statement peplum top from Zara nicely channels Fall’s opulent noir trend.
This look is styled with a lot of gold accessories; some vintage, some real and some costume, the more the better! Fall’s big plum color trend is channeled in the nail color. Your nail color is an accessory too, play it up!
