TREND ALERT: PIKO!

Okay...PIKO has been around for awhile, but it has yet to make its "ugghh how did I ever live without you?!" presence in the Midwest! Good news, lovelies: we are PIKO crazy here and can't wait for you all to jump on board. Rumor has it that PIKO is coming out with dresses, jackets, short sleeve shirts, you name it! They seem to be sticking around..and we aren't complaining! Now, we have had multiple questions on what PIKO tops actually are. One customer even brought her desperation to know PIKO to an all new level by asking us, "Okay, what's a Piko top? #over50 #noclue".

So, what's PIKO?
What if I told you that we had a top that not only feels amazing, but is also eco-friendly? Made mostly of bamboo, PIKO shirts are effortlessly stylish, comfy, and great for the environment! Hard to believe, I know. Not only that, they are also extremely figure-flattering no matter what body type you are. These shirts accent your arms by fitting snugly from mid-bicep to the wrist. Everywhere else on your body is loose fitting, helping you hide those second and third helpings of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner ;)

Why PIKO?

Why NOT PIKO? You can literally wear your PIKO with anything. Honestly, they look great with anything. Currently I am rocking my brick color PIKO with an infinity scarf, brown fleece lined leggings, and leather boots. You could wear them with jeans and flats, layer them with a leather jacket, or add jewelry or a scarf! Super universal. And we LOVE versatility :)

Your Brick Red PIKO would look great for something as fancy as those Christmas pictures coming up and as casual as grocery shopping (in style, of course!)

Color Your Fall Wardrobe

When thinking of fall, the colors which most often come to mind are brown, black and neutral tones. And while these colors are appropriate and stylish, don't be afraid to step out of the fall color box! Color is no longer reserved for summer months. So be prepared to see bolder colors in this year's fall fashion. And if you're anything like us, we're super pumped for fun fall colors! Colors such as pink, wine, red, blue, teal and green will be well represented!

Pink: Dark shades of pink, combined with black and dark blues will have a strong presence in the fashion scene. Add this feminine and flirty color for a nice pop to your fall wardrobe.

 

Blue: Royal blue is making a big splash this season and why not! It's a beautiful and rich color that looks great on a variety of women's coloring. Also, plan on seeing different hues of blues in the mix. Combining your blue tops with black bottoms or black boots is a great way to accent your fall wardrobe.

Reds: Although it is similar to pink, shades of reds are big for this season. Shades close to red on the color wheel, including wine and magenta will also be very popular. And don't let red scare you off, go ahead and try a few pieces. You might be surprised with how much you like it!

 

Fall fashion is looking nothing but fabulous! Soon the leaves will be changing along with the colors of your wardrobe, so take a few chances this fall and add some color to your closet!
