Memorial District retailers have rolled out the red carpet for fall fashion this year. This season brings orange, amber, and neutral tones into the mix along with faux leather textures, and let's not forget the shacket—a cross between a jacket and a shirt. Some call it an overshirt. It is excellent for layering, especially in Houston's mild fall weather.
Hereby nominating the shacket (that's shirt + jacket) as the season's most valuable layer. https://t.co/Q9HZZEUMkJ pic.twitter.com/WTlrnvvo2n

In fashion this fall, we expect to see billowy blouses tucked into straight-legged jeans, sporting the newer loose fit. Trends will include neutral-toned shackets in patterns or solid colors paired with faux leather skirts and a neutral bodysuit, and knee-high boots have made a comeback this season, along with booties in different textures and colors. Jewel-toned sweatsuits can pair with an ankle-length shacket and the neutral-colored Nike Jordans or Air Force 1s. Military boots paired with skirts, button-down shirts, and soft floral patterns have been seen on all the runways this season. Doctor Marten shoes make for a classic, comfy fit, allowing you to put your spin on a utilitarian boot.
It's that unmistakable spirit. All DM's wearers have it. Show us yours #drmartensstyle below.

The chirp of a bell on a beach cruiser. The sound of wind chimes. The high frequency of blowing oak leaves mixed with the low frequency of swaying Spanish moss shaking free of the morning dew. The soundtrack to the spring sunlight playing in black and white on the sidewalk. pic.twitter.com/Ktx2iMAUxx

The rustle of sweetgrass waving like an inflatable tube guy in a sudden spring gust of wind. Good natured haggling over cartons of fresh berries and plump peaches at a farmers market. The salty, wheat-rich aroma of baking biscuits pouring through an open window. pic.twitter.com/yWeOaNKo14

Are you wondering about the safety of in-person events for children? According to Jean Raphael, MD, MPH of Texas Children’s Hospital in the Memorial District, the benefits of children participating in in-person activities this summer may outweigh other concerns if safety measures are a priority at those camps. In the Memorial District, our businesses take safety seriously. You can anticipate the continued practice of physical distancing, masking, and hand-washing at all events. Learn more here.
