Forecasting Fall

As weather in the District remains ever unpredictable, shopping for the cooler temperatures is a fashion challenge difficult for even the savviest shoppers to forecast for.

Trying to incorporate personal pieces with the latest trends is tricky without versatile pieces in your wardrobe. DC women want classic, stylish clothing that goes from day to evening with minimal fuss. Rue 14’s solution for fall: Urban Minimalism

Urban Minimalism describes the new women’s fall collections here at Rue 14 in two simple words. Pairings of black and white – fitted jackets, blouses with A-line skirts and blazers – in knits and leather with touches faux fur make for an instantly modern look. For some kick, add a dash of bold color or print in the monochrome palette and be sure to mix in some edgy accessories to finish the look!
