Ladies and gentlemen, swap your closets: It’s time to trade in your sundresses and sandals for sweaters and socks. The recent arrival of fall weather has inspired some noticeable fashion trends around the office, and I’m not talking about bundling up. In this edition of Workman Trendwatch, Workman office-mates Bridget, Frank, and Megan (and her baby-to-be) model the latest in autumn couture: bright fuchsia!

Whether you want to call it “plum,” “berry,” or even “Bordeaux,” there’s no denying that a warm pinkish-purplish hue can brighten even the dreariest of fall days. So on behalf of all my coworkers, allow me to extend a special thanks to Bridget, Frank, and Megan, for bringing their happy, colorful vibes to work!

Sometimes we think there’s something in the water, other times we can rest easy knowing it’s just something in our closets! Last time we took a fashion reading, it was stripes galore, but today’s trendwatch shows off some animal instincts….  It’s leopard print (in all hues!) for Workman-ites Andrea, Liz, and Emily.

What-oh-what will be trending next in these stylish halls of Workman — will these leopards change their spots back to stripes or is there a new, undiscovered trend on the horizon? Submit your predictions!

In the Office…Editorial Library, 9th floor.

Maybe it’s because July is sailing by, or simply because of our office’s proximity to the Hudson River, but the Workman editorial crew sure is feeling nautical today.
