| Camel Coat from Charlotte Ronson Fall 2010 |
Neutrals
How to Wear It: Take camel to work by mixing it with charcoal or black (Note: camel goes updated
casual when mixed with denim.) Olive works back with denim, camel and black. The neutrals look
chicest mixed with other neutrals or worn tonally.

Longer Skirts
How to Wear It: Graceful long skirts, slim slit skirts, floor-dragging skirts: they all appeared on the
runway in the fall collections. Paired with tailored jackets or chunky knits, these skirts looked fresh
and wearable by more women than the quintessential mini skirt. (Coco was right all along!) Watch
the length and volume so it won't overwhelm you if you are petite. Tall boots, oxfords and platforms
all work with long skirts.

Over –the-knee boots
How to Wear It: Unlike the black patent "Pretty Woman" boot, the newest over-the-knee boots
come in all colours and fabrics. Look for flat heels, platforms, even stilettos. The younger girls can
pair over-the-knee boots with short skirts and bare legs. Older women look best in OTK boots and
leggings or skinny jeans.

Menswear
How to Wear It: From matched pantsuits to natty fabrics, menswear is a big trend for fall. Opt for
easy-to-wear matched pantsuits, double-breasted jackets and simple white shirts. Soften the look
with wide-leg trousers and luxe bold jewellery.

Lace
Black lace in dresses; tops and skirts; was one of the few feminine departures from the minimal
sportswear.
How to Wear It: You may think of black lace as strictly for the holidays (or the bedroom.) But done
right, it's sexy and chic at the same time. Pair a black lace blouse with a slim pencil skirt for an
updated cocktail look or pair a lace camisole or blouse with a menswear pantsuit.
Hats
 |

How to Wear It: They've been all over the streets in the form of cute straw fedoras, but look for hats
to be major news this fall. Fedoras are the hottest headwear around, and they work for women (and
men) of all ages paired with everything from dresses to jeans. The slouchy knit hat is another big fall
look for younger women to work into their trendy wardrobe.
Animal Prints
 |
| Animal Print from Ralph Lauren |
How to Wear It: Liven up a basic black wardrobe with a bit of animal print, especially leopard, this
season. Animal-print accessories, shoes and bags are a perfect way to try this trend in small doses.
Vests
 |
| Tommy Hilfiger Vest |
How to Wear It: Vests in everything from fur to knit -- topped runway looks with a finishing layer.
Monochromatic vests and shirts are chic and slimming; hip-length vests or shorter can be worn
unbuttoned over everything from prints to sweaters. Fur vests (faux works just fine) can add zip to
either casual or dressy pants looks.
Fur
 |
| Prabal Gurung Fur |
How to Wear It: Fur (and loads of faux fur) appeared in everything from trims on jackets to full-on
coats. A great way to wear it is in a fake fur vest over jeans; many designers and retailers are offering a version of this. Another fun faux fur look is in boot toppers.
Belted
 |
| Marc by Marc Jacobs |
How to Wear It: The belted waist is one of the easiest updates you can pull off. Start with a jacket,
dress, sweater, cardigan or vest and add a belt (adjust the width to your individual figure, but a
medium to thin width belt looks the trendiest. Big no for the broad ones you stocked up on last
season!)
