Contrasting trends are creat-ing a vibrant dynamic tensionin this fall’s fashions.

Menswear-influenced suitsare paired with lace and flower-embellished blouses. Sweet flo-ral dresses are paired with cow-boy boots. A chunky grandpacardigan plays off a pair ofsleek skinny jeans. A satinblouse is combined with a pairof skinny military-inspiredcargo pants.

“There’s a lot of mix andmatching styles,” said EricaHolloway of Ella Ivy Boutiquein Pontotoc.

The menswear is inspiringmany of the looks, but theyhave a tailored feminine feel.

“Everything is going moresleek with an emphasis onwaistlines,” said Krista Blan-chard of Reed’s DepartmentStore in Tupelo. “It’s a more tai-lored fit this fall. ”

The suit is backOne of the fall’s biggest head-

lines is the return of the suit.“We haven’t seen suits in sev-

eral years, but suits seem to bemaking a comeback,” Blan-chard said, much to the reliefof women whose professionsdemand a more tailored look.

The classic looks are reminis-cent of the understated graceof Greta Garbo and MarleneDietrich, Simmons said.

The suit isn’t just boxed in tothe office.

“We’ve seen the re-emer-gence of the pretty cocktail din-

ner suits,” Simmons said. “It’sback to the elegant.”

In many cases, the silhou-ettes are simple – a great jacketlayered over a matching sheathdress – or gorgeous pants suitsin elegant silk and satin fabrics.

Balancing the suit’s serious-ness, are tops with femininedetails, like lace, crochet andruffles.

“There’s a lot of feminine ele-gance,” Simmons said.

Though skinny jeans remaina wardrobe staple, trousers arealso big this fall, in line with themenswear influence.

Topping it offEven beyond suits, jackets

and flowing cardigans are tak-ing center stage this fall, notjust for function of stayingwarm, but as the centerpiece ofan outfit.

“Outer wear is really big thisfall,” Simmons said.

There’s a jacket for almostany mood. Leather biker jack-ets, classic soft camel pea coatsand almost cape-like trenchcoats.

“Jackets are meant to beworn as a key piece of an out-fit,” Holloway said, not justouter wear that you shed whenyou get into the office. “It’s allabout how you layer. You canadd a lot of personality to it.”

As the weather cools, thereare lots of jackets incorporatingfur details, too, Simmons said.

The lengths of the jackets areall over the place.

“We’re seeing cute crop jack-ets, but also lots of long jacketsand chunky little sweaters,”

Holloway said.Cropped bandleader jackets

bring a military influence tothe table.

The jackets and sweaters arevery versatile, dressing up ordown according to functionand mood.

“It’s so easy to put on withjeans,” Simmons said of thedrapey cardigans, but they alsolook great with trousers or askirt.

As with the contrastingstyles, balancing shapes is im-portant, too.

“The drapier the cardigan or

jacket, the more you need to goback with skinny leg jeans,”Simmons said.

Colors and printsThe contrasts continue with

the hot colors for the fall. Icygrays play off warm camel col-ors.

Understated taupes set off vi-brant purple, deep forest greenand other jewel tones.

In keeping with the militarythread running through theseason, olive green and khakiare also popular hues.

Metallic fabrics are also a

strong element for the fall, butthey have to be balancedacross the outfit, Blanchardsaid. Choose a great belt, ametallic blazer or metallicshoes and then match it backwith other elements.

“You want to balance metal-lic with one good piece peroutfit,” Blanchard said.

Along with strong colors,plaids and animal prints areadding texture this fall.

“Plaid is a huge deal,” Hol-loway said.

Big bold check patterns arepopping up on dresses, jackets

and shirts.“It’s just not going to go

away,” Simmons, becausewomen love them. “It’s fun.”

Animal prints of all stripesand spots are showing up invelvets, silks and other fabrics.

This fall, there’s leopard,python and some prints thataren’t actually tied to any ani-mal.

“Many are really contempo-rary take offs on animal prints,”Simmons said.

TUPELO – The most basic TOMSshoes look pretty simple, like a pieceof cloth wrapped around the wearer’sfoot. But everything that is TOMS ismore than just the simple shoe: It’sabout helping those in need.“With every pair you purchase,” ac-

cording to the TOMS website, “TOMSwill give a pair of new shoes to achild in need.”The shoes

often go to chil-dren in develop-ing countries,especially tocombat diseases. They’re also givento needy children whose schools re-quire shoes to attend class.The company’s “One for One” mis-

sion and stylish kicks are what’s mak-ing TOMS the hottest shoes in North-east Mississippi.

Best sellers“It’s just phenomenal,” said Morris

McCain at Reed’s Department Store,where TOMS are sold. “It’s unrealhowmany we sell.We sold close to1,000 pairs last month in our twostores.”

TOMS come in a variety of colorsand styles. Most popular right noware the silver glitter women’s pair.Most TOMS are slip-ons, but theyalso sell laced shoes, Cordones. Alsofor women are wrapped boots,wedges and work boots. Men’s stylesinclude the basic TOMS shoe, as wellas Cordones, Stitchouts and workboots. TOMS also offers vegan-friendly shoes.Virginia Coleman, who oversees

the women’s shoe department inReed’s, said there’s a pair of TOMS foreveryone.“It pretty well covers all ages,” she

said. “And it’s not limited to springand summer.”McCain said the shoes are reason-

ably priced and are “extremely goodshoes.”Thanks to a sizing error, TOMS are

not available in children’s sizes, butshould be back in stores aroundValentine’s Day 2011.

More than fashionFor Emilee Pearce, the TOMSmis-

sion is more important than the fash-ion.Pearce, an Itawamba Community

College sophomore fromMantachie,has put on two TOMS-related events.

In April, she held a “Style Your Sole”event at ICC, where students couldbuy a pair of white TOMS and drawor paint on them. Also in April, sheheld a barefoot walk from the down-town Tupelo Reed’s location to Fair-park to raise awareness abot theTOMSmission.“I like that you can express yourself

and help somebody at the sametime,” the 19-year-old said. “I love to

help out; it’s what I’m called to do.”Pearce has five pairs of TOMS for

herself but has also bought them forfamily.“I bought my dad (a pair), and my

pawpaw has a pair,” she said, laugh-ing.Her friends, BethanyWillis and

Ginger Young, are also fans of TOMS.“They’re comfortable,”Willis said.

“I wear them all the time.”

Young said the shoes were efficientfor college life. “They’re kind of likeslippers,” she said.Pearce said she’s almost never

without her TOMS.“I wear mine to work, to school,”

she said. “They’re good for prettymuch anything.”

BY M. SCOTT MORRISDaily Journal

TUPELO –They say do the thing you love,and themoney will follow.Carrie Hancock is taking that advice to heart,

and her passion is fashion.“I just always really liked clothes,” the 24-

year-old said. “I really like to shop.With thetrends that are out there, I like to pick andchoose to make themmy own.”In 2009, she earned a degree in education

psychology fromMississippi State University,but “that doesn’t really apply to what I’mdoing,” she said.In February, she opened an Internet clothing

store, yellowlovebirds.com, while she was livingin Charleston, S.C.

“Yellow is my favorite color, and I just lovebirds,” she said. “The name is a reflection of mebecause nobody else would come up with it. It’soriginal.”Now, the Internet-based business has a real-

world address. Hancock, a 2005 alumna of Tu-pelo High School, decided to bring her busi-ness back home. It’s located at 206West MainStreet in downtownTupelo.In the beginning, she’ll fill the store with

clothes and accessories that match her ownideas about style. That won’t completelychange, but she said she’ll be open to sugges-tions.“I definitely want feedback,” she said. “If they

TUPELO – Like a classroom full of kids freshfrom summer, fall fashion for children is loudand colorful.

Bright hues, strong patterns, sparkly embel-lishments and a spunky attitude are makingfall 2010’s fashion look more like somethingfrom spring or summer.

“This fall is going to be really vibrant,” saidDoodles owner Monia Beasley.

Colors and patternsEarthy tones usually mark fall fashion, but

not this year.“The colors seem to be a little bit brighter

than in years past,” said Deanna Russell,owner of Silly Simpson’s.

All colors are in, but one stands out at Doo-dle’s: “The color is purple,” Beasley said. “Anyshade of purple.”

From pale lavender to deep grape, purple iseverywhere, from dresses to tops to bottoms.

Jewel tones are in at Reed’s DepartmentStore, said Sissie Craft in the children’s depart-ment.

Russell said she’s been surprised at theamount of black in girls’ fashion.

“I’m seeing more black for girls – it’s a littlebit edgier,” she said. “It’s paired with a brightcolor, like black and white with a bright pink.”

Orange is another color big at Silly Simp-son’s, and yellow and gray are a fashionablepair, she said.

Patterns are very feminine, featuring animalprints, flowers, polka dots, stripes and birds.

“We’re still putting all those wild patternstogether,” Russell said. “Even smock dressesare in bold fabrics.”

Denim is back, Beasley said, especially injackets and skirts.

Speaking of denim, jeggings are popular atReed’s.

“The jegging is a huge deal,” Craft said.“They’re jean-colored leggings.”

Tunics with leggings have been in style forthe past several seasons, and that’s still thecase this fall, Craft, Russell and Beasleyagreed.

“It’s so easy for kids to wear that, and go toschool or church,” Beasley said.

Little things in lifeAccessories are getting more popular, both

Craft and Beasley said. Necklaces, headbands,wristlets, bracelets, bags – they’re all must-haves for the fall.

“Handbags and jewelry have really pickedup for this age group,” Beasley said.

Peace signs are still stylish, Craft said.Sequins and embellishments are popular on

accessories and shoes, too. Doodles carriessequined baseball caps and overnight bags,and colorful laptop bags, while Silly Simpson’sfeatures sequin shoes.

Colorful plastic watches with diamond-en-circled faces are huge right now, Beasley said.

Magnetic jewelry is also popular, because itallows kids to make their own jewelry out ofthe magnetic parts.

Scarves have made a comeback in the pastfew seasons, and they’re not going anywherethis fall.

Little guys, big styleFashion for boys this fall features fun mas-

culine styles and those signature bright colors.A line of shirts at Doodles goes through the

alphabet – “M is for Monster,” “B is for BoogieMonster,” “R is for Robot.”

At Reed’s, comfort is the word.“It’s really all about comfort dressing,” Craft

said.Fuzzy, warm Northface jackets and strong

button-up shirts are in style at Reed’s.Similarly, plaid shorts and a simple T-shirt

are in at Silly Simpson’s.Reversible longjohns and longalls for boys

are also big hits, Russell said.“It’s like two for one,” Russell said.

This fall, accessories are allabout the B’s: Boots, belts, boldjewelry and big bags.

These key pieces are playinga starring roles in pulling to-gether the season’s hottestlooks.

For the feetBoots are continuing their

fashion dominance this fall,andwomendon’t lack choiceswhen it comes to the fashionstaple.

“Anything pairedwith boots,any type of boot,” hits the fash-ion bulls eye said EricaHol-loway of Ella Ivy Boutique inPontotoc.

Tall ridingboots, slouchyboots, over-the-kneeboots andanklebooties all have their place.There’s evenpeep-toeboots.

“Cowboy boots are every-where,” saidVirginia Colemanof Reed’s Department Store inTupelo. “They just look cutewith a variety of things.”

Cowboy boots look great withjeans and floaty, floral dresses.

The ankle booties lend cachetto the skinny cargo pants.

But boots aren’t the onlygame in town.

Flats, wedges and pumps aregetting a fallmake-over withjeweled embellishments and arange ofmetallics.

Whatever the choice, whatgoes on your feet is key forpulling the fall’s best looks to-

gether.“Your shoes are as important

as the outfit,” saidDale Sim-mons of Reed’s.

Pulled togetherBelts play a key role in giving

flowing tunic tops and drapeycardigans a pulled-togetherlook.

Belts are showing up in bothskinny andwidewidths.Theskinny belts tend to bewornhigher to give an outfit an em-pire waist line, said Krista Blan-chard of Reed’s.Wide belts canbeworn at the natural waist orslung low.

There’s amix between simplewoven belts and studded andembellished. There’s a strongvein of taupe hues for belts, butalsometallics and colors.

“Belts are another good placeto incorporatemetallics or apop of color,” Blanchard said.

JewelryWhether at the wrists, the

neck or ears, there are jewelrypieces tomake a big statementthis fall.

“Bracelets are everywhere,”particularly big, embellishedcuffs, said BarbaraMorgan ofTupelo’sMain Attraction.

Likewise long necklaces thatcreate a collage effect are alsostrong for fall. The collage lookin necklaces can come fromone piece or a layering of neck-laces, Holloway said.

However, with all the big,

chunky options, it’s importantto keep balance inmind.

“Go chunkywith one or theother,”Morgan said of neck-laces and bracelets. “Both aretoomuch.”

Balance isn’t just betweenjewelry pieces. It can help addthe feminine balance to themenswear looks this fall.

“We’re still seeing a lot ofpearls,” Blanchard said. “That’sa great look to put back withmilitary and boyfriend blazerlooks.”

Earrings are drawing from1980s influences with bighoops and dangly bling.

“It’s like big sparkly discoballs,”Morgan said.

Themetals for jewelry arevery warm: golds, gunmetals,coppers, brass andmixedmet-als.

“It doesn’t have to be real sil-ver or gold,”Morgan said. “Cos-

tume jewelry is back with fun,funky styles.”

There’s also a touch of whim-sy with dragon flies and otherlittle creatures worked into thejewelry.

In the bagFor the fall, handbags are

going big.“The satchel looks are really

big with handles and flaps onthe outside pockets,” Blanchardsaid.

There are serious shades ofleather frommocha to taupe aswell as fun pops of colors indeep corals and reds, Hollowaysaid. The bags are also beingaccentedwith ruffles androsettes.

“It gives you that flirty look,”Holloway said.

In addition to jackets,dresses, tops and pants, Yel-low Lovebirds carries shoes,accessories and vintage jew-elry.

“We’ll carry leggings andhose when the weatherchanges,” she said. “I hope toadd purses later.”

The Internet site will con-tinue taking orders 24 hoursa day. The store’s hours are 10a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Sat-urday.

Hancock plans to carrystyles for a range of women.

“All fashion is an expres-sion of your personality,” shesaid. “It doesn’t matter about

your age. If you like some-thing, you might as well wearit.”

In the early days, she’llhave help at the store fromher mom, Helen Hancock,and sister, Catherine McMa-han.

And there will be one otherspecial helper.

“I have a kitty cat that willlive at the store. His name isCharleston because I got himin Charleston,” Hancock said.“He’s going to be my storecat.”

As a child, Hancock neverwent through a tomboyphase. She’s always had herpassion for fashion, and shewants to share it.

“I’ve just always loved it,”she said, “and I know I canpick out cute clothes.”

■ Tupelo retailers travel tobig cities to shop for clothingtrends six to eight monthsahead of the season.

BY GINNA PARSONSDaily Journal

TUPELO – Chances are, thatfall dress you’re trying on inthe store right now was pur-chased by a clothes buyer sixor eight months ago.So how does that buyerknow in February what will befashionable in October?They get their insider tips bygoing to apparel markets inDallas, NewYork, Chicago, At-lanta and LasVegas. Most shopin January, February andMarch for fall and winter fash-ions, and in September andOctober for spring and sum-mer fashions.“I remember when we wentto market oneMarch and ourfirst appointment showed uswhat they had for fall,” saidKrista Blanchard, a buyer forReed’s women’s department inTupelo. “Everything had thisreal ‘80s look. And I’m like,‘You’ve got to be kiddingme.’ Ididn’t buy from them.“Then you go to the next ap-pointment and they have thesame thing. Then you start get-ting it into your head and youthink, ‘OK, I’m not used to this,but this is what’s happening.’By the end of the market,you’ve bought a lot of thatstuff. Every market, it’s thesame thing.”But sometimes, shoppers inthe South are a little slower topick up on trends that are hap-pening in NewYork and LosAngeles.“It’s harder for stores in theSoutheast to findmerchandiseto sell because somuch iscatered to the Northeast andtheWest Coast,” said MoniaBeasley, owner and buyer forDoodles in Tupelo, which spe-cializes in unique clothing andgifts for children. “They are thetrend setters – the big citylooks. But that’s not what ourcustomers are looking for.Blanchard echoed her senti-ments.“Because we’re in a small,Southern town, trends don’tcome to us as fast,” she said. “Isee it at market and I know

that’s what’s going to happenhere – eventually. Sometimeswe’ll buy and be ahead of our-selves and everybody will belike, ‘No way.’ And we say, ‘Yes,this is what’s happening.’ Andtwo years later, it will hit here.”

Know your customersBecause Beasley is shoppingfor her own store, rather thanbuying for a large department

store, she knows her cus-tomers and what they like.“We knowwhat sells,” shesaid. “I can tell you what soldlast year, what didn’t, what wehad tomark down.We evalu-ate this store’s inventory everyseason.We brainstorm, keepnotes, see what wemissed,what sold quickly.”Blanchard said anticipatingtrends in Tupelo six monthsahead can be dicey, but moreoften than not, she is rewardedfor her instincts.“InMarch, I bought for fall,”she said. “Now, I’m seeing thenewmagazines and they areshowing the Top 10 ‘must-haves’ for fall and I think, ‘I’vegot that.’ And if I realize we’vemissed a big trend at market,we can always place an imme-diate order.”Beasley said when she goesto market, she’s searching forlines that no one else in townis carrying.“I want to find somethingfor Tupelo you can’t find any-where else,” she said. “But I al-ways go with an openmind. Ijust keep looking for and find-ing new resources. I try tobring into the store somethingchildren and their parents willagree on. That’s my biggestchallenge. That and comfort-able clothing. Children are notgoing to wear clothing thatitches.”

Custom-made for menShopping at market formen’s specialty clothing is to-tally different than shopping

for women’s fashions, saidJimmy Long, owner and buyerfor MLMClothiers in Tupelo.“I started going to market inNewYork in 1966 and I’ve beengoing ever since,” he said. “Weget to look at a lot of exclusivestuff that’s not on the openmarket.”Long spends a lot of his timein the Big Apple at privateshowings, where he is shownswatches of imported fabric forsuits, blazers and dress shirts.“We’re more English tradi-tional so we’re looking at fab-rics to create our own things,”he said. “Our clothing is cus-tom-made for us. If we see aseersucker fabric we like, weget to decide if it will be madeinto pants with a flat-front or apleated-front or if it will bemade into walk shorts. Kiss-pleat, single-pleat, double-pleat, even the rise of thetrousers.We get to decide.”Long said when he’s shop-ping at market, he looks first atquality, then price.“When you buy a piece ofclothing, you’re paying for thefabric, the make and the mar-keting,” he said. “There’s areason why things cost. Ifyou’re wearing somethingthat is heavily advertised inmagazines or on TV, youknow you’re paying for themarketing and not necessarilythe quality. A lot of what wesell is never advertised any-where.”

TUPELO –You know thatsweater set from the 1940syou have stored in the top ofyour closet, the one yourgrandmother wore to bridgeclub luncheons?Instead of getting rid of it atyour next garage sale, try

pairing it with a new pair ofslacks for a one-of-a-kindlook that’s hip and fashion-able.“You should never be afraidto mix old and new. There’sno date to a sweater as longas it’s not stretched-out ormoth-eaten,” said BarbaraMorgan, owner of TheMainAttraction Emporium andCoffee Bar in downtownTu-pelo.

■ New fabric treatments may cut downon your trips to the dry cleaners.

BY M. SCOTT MORRISDaily Journal

The well-dressedmanmay not have to pay asmuch to stay that way as he used to.What started out as a trend has turned into a

top-seller at men’s stores.“We’re having a lot of interest in wrinkle-free,

stain-resistant shirts,” said Jimmy Long, co-owner ofMLMClothiers in Tupelo. “We havetested these wrinkle-free shirts over the last cou-ple of years.We’ve found one that performs theway they say it will. It does work.”MLM carries wrinkle-free shirts by Andrew J.

Over at Reed’s Department Store in Tupelo, thetop brand is Enro, but there are others, too.“Enro does a shirt and a stay-pressed pant

that are very popular,” said John Rush, men’s de-partmentmanager at Reed’s. “We have severalcolors in the pants. Khaki is No. 1, of course.Wehave the shirts in a lot of colors and patterns,too. People can’t get enough of them.”In the past, treatments tomake clothesmore

wrinkle resistant have had the trade off of beinguncomfortable. But technology has advanced.“You wash it and dry it and hang it up,” Long

said of the Andrew J. shirt. “It’s very comfortable,very comfortable. I love the collar on it. I thinkit’s got one of the best collars in the business.”

Two buttonsMen’s fashion is geological in nature – change

is often slow in coming.However, sports coats and suit coats have un-

dergone a period of evolution in recent years.You can still get a three-button coat, but you’remore likely to find two-button coats when youdo your clothes shopping.“It’s beenmoving that way, and now two-but-

ton is what you seemost,” Rush said.JoeYarber, co-owner atMLM, said his store

has been responding to customer demand.“That’s what you see: Two-button center vent

and two-button side vent,”Yarber said.

A different lookAs for other changes, Rush said the winter of

2009-10 saw a resurgence in the popularity ofsweater vests in a variety of styles and colors.

If early fall shoppers are any indication, Rushexpects the trend to continue.“You’ve got your different textures and fab-

rics,” he said. “We are selling quite a few of themalready. It’s just a different look, you know. Anddepending on how hot or cold your office is, itcould help keep you warm.”No one would ever label blue jeans as new,

butYarber saidmen are responding toMLM’sdressy denim pants by Agave.“They’re premium jeans, cut and sewn in Cali-

fornia,” he said.LikeMLM’s line of Bill’s Khakis, the Agave

jeans are a nod to casual trends, while maintain-ing a snappy, well-dressed look.

EnjoyAs you shop for your fall and winter wardrobe

in these economic times, it’s important to con-sider the staying power of the clothes you buy.At the same time, change comes tomen’s

fashion slowly, so find what you like, wear it andenjoy it.

EVOLVING FASHIONWrinkles don’thave to bea fact of life

PHOTO BY DESTE LEEJustin Martin of Tupelo wears wool pants by Hart Schaffner Marx with a plaid Austin Reed sport coat, an Enro no-ironcotton shirt and a tie by Hart Schaffner Marx from Reed’s Department Store.

In addition to selling unique gifts andhome furnishings, Morgan specializes invintage clothing.“I started collecting vintage clothing as a

child. I loved dressing up in it,” she said. “Ifirst became aware of what I was doing inthe ‘70s, when my grandmother gave mesome of her vintage sweaters. Daily, Iwear something vintage, whether it’s apair of earrings, a ring or a pair of shoes. Ihave a lot of ‘50s dresses I wear in thesummer.”Morgan scours estate sales, auctions and

resale shops for good clothing from the1920s to the ‘80s that can be worn alone orpaired with current trends.“You have to do the stress test when

you’re doing vintage,” she said. “Pull onthe seams, check for dry rot, try the zip-pers, check for stains. They don’t alwayscome out.”Morgan likes to pair new camisoles with

beaded cashmere sweaters from the 1940s.Or she’ll take a vintage straight skirt andput a new sweater with it. She might eventake a short dress from the ‘60s and wear itas a tunic over a pair of jeans.“I used to think certain fabrics didn’t go

together, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve real-ized it’s just trial and error,” she said. “Youknow when you put something on if itlooks good. There are lots of variables infashion, whether it’s current or yesterday.”

Here comes the brideIn the 1980s, Morgan liked to wear old

suits from the ‘40s with the big, paddedshoulders, because pads were huge at thattime.“Even vintage has cycles of coming

back,” she said. “The lines of older cloth-ing are so nice. When you’re going out inthe evening, who knows whether that’syour mother’s mink stole or somethingnew?”A popular piece of vintage clothing is the

wedding dress. Many brides like to wearthe same gown their mother or grand-mother wore.“Say you’ve got this cotton batiste wed-

ding gown from the 1920s,” Morgan said.“You could put it with a new pair of shoesor a new veil. And you could do vintageundergarments, like a silk slip. It doesn’thave to show. It just has to be in goodshape.”Over the years, Morgan has found it in-

creasingly harder to find good vintageclothing.“It’s just not out there like it used to be,”

she said. “People see the merit now to thatcloset full of their mother’s or grandmother’sclothing.”
