Neon colored dresses from Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors are hot this season with the pink-highlighter hue working on all skin tones. If neon colors seem a little scary for fall, opt for a purse or earrings to give you the fashion edge.
Monotone is boring, but pairing up tonal colors is total up-to-date fashion. To get the look, choose varying shades from one color and mix it up head to toe. Add textures to show off your personal flair. The bonus is, it makes you look taller and leaner.
Faux fur adds glam to any outfit in one easy step. And don’t be afraid of color—when it comes to faux fur it’s a must have to turn your most basic black outfit into a fun and stylish look. Matthew Williamson, Thakoon and Dennis Basso showed lots of color and a variety of shapes and textures for 2009 fall wardrobes. Go ahead and show off your flair, neon faux fur will rock the party.
A short velvet dress—need more be said? The touchable softness of velvet showing off great legs that are accessorized by one of StockinGirl's many choices of fabulous sexy leg wear—how can one go wrong? Trade your stilettos for a pair of black patent flats. which will work with most outfits as well.
Beg to be noticed long sleek sexy gloves. A fashion junkie’s must have. Max Azria, Elie Tahari and others showed off this runway look for fall. Fashion warning: Take them off inside lest you could end up looking like the prom queen.
Replace blue jeans with black leather pants or black skinny jeans. Derek Lam, Alexander Wang and Diane von Furstenberg show an almost legging-like fit paired with sweaters and boots.
Look for bright colored end of the summer sales on tees and miniskirts for layering over leggings and blouses. Jason Wu and Oscar de la Renta took two bold colors like red and pink infuse them with a backsplash of black and it totally rocked. Think color this fall and go for bold accessories.
Thigh high boots and a long sleeved mini dress. A great combo—just add a sweater and go. To tame this look slightly and still be up-to-date prefect try knee high boots, dark tights, with a slightly longer dress length.
The blanket coat is it. This doesn’t mean over-sized, droopy and plaid. It means drape-able, luxurious soft cashmeres and wools in rich earthy tones that complement your skin and hair color.
Other notable trends are lingerie displaying (break out those corsets) and slightly squared-shoulders. Forget the shoulder huge pads of the 80’s, this trend is subtly sculpted.
