What to Wear This Fall

From the runways of Milan and New York, to the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago, all the way to quaint McHenry, Illinois, fall is in the air, and that means fall fashion. Fashion editors and fashionistas alike are eagerly awaiting the arrival of cooler temps and these gorgeous fall fashions. In McHenry, the Black Orchid Boutique is your fall fashion destination, and we’re excited to share these looks with you today! 

Red is "It" for Fall

This fall, powerful reds are turning up in everything from boots to coats and dresses to bags! This red satchel has plenty of room for your essentials, and it definitely adds that pop of power red that we’re loving this year!

Add a Little Sparkle!

Glitter and metallics continue to be popular this season, particularly in stacked bracelets and other accent pieces. Adding sparkle is an easy way to take a work outfit from day to evening, not to mention spicing up your day-to-day office wear!

Embrace Your Inner Flower Child

The sheath dress made so popular by 70’s icons like Farrah Fawcett and Joni Mitchell is making a strong comeback this season in gorgeous fall prints as well as solids and textures. This fall we will see this style in fun geometric prints that are sure to look adorable with a cowboy boot or peep-toe bootie. We are particularly loving this gorgeous gauzy sheath with the peasant neckline!

Hats Hats Hats!

Don’t forget to top off your perfect outfit with a fun (and functional) hat. This fall sees fashion move past the ubiquitous beanie of previous seasons, bringing in fun styles like bowlers, brimmed caps and bucket hats in a wide variety of colors and materials.

Vintage Inspiration

Vintage-inspired fashions are all the rage this season. Denim is back in a big way in skirts and dresses, and is especially fun paired with a trendy hat and some sparkle at the wrist or neckline. Flowing styles like long tops and bell-sleeved dresses are also making a comeback, some with embroidery or lace to spice things up.

Located in scenic downtown McHenry, Illinois, the Black Orchid Boutique offers a one of a kind shopping experience to help you find that perfect outfit or gift. We specialize in unique fashions, accessories, jewelry, and more, and new fall fashions are arriving daily! Visit us online or stop by soon!

Summer Fashion at Black Orchid Boutique

With summer in full swing, we have had a chance to watch 2017 summer fashion trends as they happen, perfecting our eye for what we know is in high demand this year. Our latest arrivals just came in, and with endless weeks of long summer days and evenings left, now is a great time to stop by Black Orchid Boutique and find the clothing and accessories you need to make your mid-and late-summer splashes!

This summer’s fashion trends really emphasize playful and flirty looks, with fun shoulder styles being one of the most notable and popular. Whether it’s off-the-shoulder or cut-out sleeves, bold and innovative shoulder-baring flatters just about any woman of any age.

Summer rompers, like the one to the left that arrived at Black Orchid last month, capitalize on both the fun, flirty look of summer 2017, as well as shows off the shoulders, with many this year having strapless or spaghetti-strap designs. Rompers are perfect summer day wear, offering comfort, freedom, flexibility, and a wide variety of interesting prints that show off your particular style.  

Finally, short, sleeveless summer dresses are back in, for those who love this look, with many newly in stock at our boutique! From floral and feminine to bold, Southwestern prints, these versatile dresses can make up your daytime or evening outfit, alone or combined with a beautiful scarf, shawl, cardigan, or jacket.

Don’t let summer go out without a bang! We know there are many more parties, festivals, barbeques, family picnics, weddings, and more to celebrate before cooler weather sets in and we have to cover up with sweaters and coats. The staff here at Black Orchid is always ready to help you choose the perfect outfit for your occasion.
