Key Takeaways: The trenchcoat is back but it no longer screams “Inspector Gadget†or “Columbine.†Instead, these men’s and women’s coats with high popped up collars, fur, and quality textures shout “Aviator,†“Military,†and most importantly, “Chic!â€
Color Palette: Heavy emphasis on grey and black, but some mustard yellows, browns, navy blues, and military greens showed their hues.
Silhouettes: Long and cropped coats, A-line skirts, slim trousers, and a few loose chiffon dresses.
Accessories Report: No jewels were in sight, but handbags were prominent. For women, we saw maroon, grey, and black wristlet clutches and jumbo leather satchels. One man carried a weekend black leather satchel resembling a bowling ball bag. Possible trend alert here.
What’s Wearable: Almost everything. Kenneth Cole did a wonderful job of designing real clothing for real people (Did he steal our Omiru concept?!). Especially wearable are sophisticated skirt suits, heavy coats, and loose sweaters.
What’s Not Wearable: I can’t imagine a non-military man sporting the half suede, half leather green and black boots.

Smug little bird, isn’t he?

Crystal-encrusted denim
Swarovski phone + rhinestone clutch + encrusted denim =
Too many crystals. Plus, don’t they come off in the laundry?

We’re So over:
Oversized specs
This season has taken our beloved Jackie O. look to such enormous proportions that we’re starting to get bug-eyed. Mary-Kate, Ashley, Lindsay, Nicole–are you listening?

Tell us: What’s In? What are you so over?

The centuries-old Japanese kimono has undergone a major transformation, courtesy of fashion houses worldwide. The very contemporary result: an airy, flowy top that reveals just enough (usually with a low V-cut) but not too much (the length is still tunic or longer). These tops–shown here at every price range–are perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans, or wearing alone as a dress to go out.

Whether you’re into not-so-mellow yellow, outrageous orange or eye-piercing purple, flats, pumps, or mules, there’s an easy way to determine which shoe will shine brighter on your fabulous feet.
If your pain threshold is below zero, your obvious choice is a flat shoe. If you can strut, groove, and kick butt all while in your 4-inch stilettos, choose one of the wedge styles. If you’d rather go for a walk than sit and read a book, let sneakers do the hiking for you.
Warning: If you tend to be shy and despise attention (even if it’s only to your feet), stay away from the following pairs.
Prada Leather and Patent Leather Butterfly Peep Toe Flats | $133 at Designer Exposure
Metallic Braided Wedge | $48 at Urban Outfitters
Gucci Orchid Suede Brown Logo Sneakers | $316 at Bluefly

Scrubs aren’t the only things these days with a tie waist.
