Fall 2012 Trends: Sleek Black

(Victoria Beckham, Fall 2012)
I started doing some research about Fall 2012 fashion trends mainly to make a video about how to make your summer trends transition to fall and still stay in style. While doing this I got kind of caught up and decided I'd make posts on my favourite trends and then go on to make Polyvore sets showing my take on that style (obviously some runway trends aren't exactly the most wearable for the average woman). The first one, and probably my favourite, is the sleek black trend. This really isn't a trend if you think about it. Black has always been in trend and will always be seen in fashion, whether it's on the streets or on the runway. Either way I'm a strong believer in when in doubt, wear black. When I start to post my style later on you'll see that black is probably like 80% of my wardrobe. 
Anyways, the line that had a lot of sleek and dark styles apparently is Victoria Beckham's Fall 2012 line. The line did carry colours other than black, so I'm saying saying it's all about that. There's also some army green, a fair amount of tan, and of course this season's 'it' colour which is burgundy (I'll have a whole different post on that later). But no matter what colour she chose almost all of her dresses are very close to the body and have classic cuts. 
I love this trend because it's something that's very ready for the everyday person to pull off, I guess you wouldn't always consider Beckham to be as 'high fashion' as some others but I do enjoy that she seems to create clothes for normal woman who don't want to go out to lunch in a fur jacket and a dramatic head piece.
Lastly below you can see my take on it, I'm in love with the classic black and white look and it's not complete in my books unless it's topped off with a red lip. I also wanted to pair it with a few simple gold accessories and a super cute hair bun to keep it casual.
