Fall's is a favorite fashion season for many. It's time to break out the jackets, layer up and load up on chunky socks and boots. Keep your eyes peeled for oversized silhouettes, luxurious plaids and touches of fuzz. Below are some great Toronto trends from your TEST Members to inspire you to get cozy with your wardrobe this Fall:
PLAID
Plaid is having a moment on the runway. Designers are partial to a tartan print because it adds an interesting dose of color to a classic print. Since us Torontonians are all are guilty of overdoing black in the winter, it's nice to see some colors to brighten up the mood.

| Plaid Wool Wrap - $184.22 USD - VespertineCA |
Vespertine's plaid wrap embraces the chill. The quality will warm your heart and the color will warm up your wardrobes.
HIGH WAIST
The waist is making a climb far up past the belly button for a look that is super slimming and very sexy.

| High Waist Plaid Pants - $46.50 USD - Wild Thing Vintage |
Don't just try out any old high waist this season. Look for exaggerated, supersonic high waist silhouettes that create the look of long, lean legs and a teeny tiny mid-section. Check out these stylish high waist plaid pants from Wild Thing Vintage. (Fall Fashion just doesn't get better than that folks.) Also, be sure to check out Wild Thing's shop, as she has many more dramatically high waisted treasures!
TOUCH OF FUZZ
From fur stoles to pastel furry coats, designers are using fur accents, whether real or faux, to give everything an added ooph of luxury. This season, clothing with a "touch of fuzz" is guaranteed to get you noticed and keep you warm.

| Fur Hat - $45.00 USD - Juliesinden |
We've been seeing hints of fur on gloves, boots, collars, hats and even on handbags. It's clear that a fur accessory is the ultimate embellishment.
FRINGE
The fringe trend is still going strong, with virtually every designer including frayed fabrics in their collections. Those more daring can opt for a fringed jacket or top like this beauty from Copious Fashions. This fringe crop top can be easily dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a skirt. No matter how it is paired it will never be boring.

If you're a newbie to the this playful trend, a fringed bag is perfect for you! We are absolutely loving the quality of this clutch from Heather Hird Designs.

STATEMENT EARRINGS
Step aside statement necklaces! Oversized, exaggerated, embellished, bold earrings are officially the “it bling" for Fall 2015. Fall looks to have an obsession with the oversized style. We've seen oversized duster jackets, extra-high platform creeper boots and super-large buttons.

| Raven Earrings - $38.00 USD - Love At First Blush |
These large black feather earrings by Love At First Blush are perfect for the Fall season. We love the exaggerated bright gold on the black. We imagine they are so much fun to wear!
TEXTILE HANGINGS
Last (but not least) on the home decor front, textile wall hangings are having quite a decor moment. The look is a little bit Bohemian, a little bit classed-up 70's and span from macramé to weavings to simple yarn hangings.

| Little Lee Wall Hanging - $69.66 USD - ROVINGTEXTILES |
Found in a huge array of colors and styles (sometimes macramé, sometimes tufted yarn), these fibrous fixtures have found their way onto the walls many a stylish home. Take a look at local shop, Roving Textiles to find some of our favorite works of tapestry textile art.
