Fall is nearly here, which means it’s time to put away your summer styles and embrace new clothing trends. After all, you simply can’t wear a mini skirt in the rain; can you now? However, upgrading your wardrobe for the fall season doesn’t mean you will be going broke any time soon. Quite the opposite in fact — you can get ready for the cooler months of the year by purchasing a few wholesale clothing pieces online.

If your fall wardrobe needs a facelift or you’re interested in a few investment pieces, it’s time to browse your favorite wholesale retailers! This fall, stand up to the elements in style by showing off the latest fashion trends on the runways. Here are some of our favorite trends of the season:

Meaningful Combinations: Fall 2011 is all about mixing colors, patterns and textures. Although they may appear cluttered, these outfits reflect the beauty of classical chaos. Quilted calico prints, leather skirts, and fur were a major trend on the runways this season, including wild collage-style pairings. Don’t be afraid to mix various hues, motifs and materials and match them with wholesale accessories.

Blocks of Color: Let there be color! Spring 2011 was all about color, and vibrant hues are still making headlines for fall. Designers embraced shocking blocks of color and bold patterns. Some included plaid while others introduced high-contrast tops with bright bottoms. There is nothing shy about fall’s hues, even when it comes to wholesale belts and other accessories. So be bold!

Wild Furs: If you love fur, now is the time to take it to the next level. Fall 2011 collections across the board featured fur gone wild. Designers featured fur jackets in vibrant hues such as bright green, maroon, turquoise and pink. Some designers even featured tri-toned fur clothing. Don’t be afraid to wear a bright pink fur coat with an equally bright pink dress and dark stalking. Jazz up the wild look with your favorite jewelry from jewelry wholesalers online.
