We asked: Would you wear Oxford Flats?
You said: Yes to Oxford Flats, with a full 64% of the vote.
Style tip? Oxford Flats are a classic that’s right on trend with tailored menswear-as-womenswear styles. And they’re getting a bit of a makeover with Oxford Heels (perfect for those of us who could use a few extra inches of height). You can wear your Oxfords with tailored classics, but we’d recommend having them serve as a foundation for an outfit that’s a bit more edgy. Say, wide-leg pants, an artsy blouse, and a statement belt.
Next question: Prep-school style has been dominating Fall Fashion - crested blazers, plaid, and sweater vests. But what do you think about sweater vests? Tell us, would you wear a Sweater Vest? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

We asked: Would you wear Electric Pink?
You said: No to Electric Pink, says 57% of you. Only 43% are for Electric Pink.
Style tip? Bold colors and bright hues are playing a central role this Fall. Royal purple, Grass green, Cobalt blue, Blood Orange, and Electric Pink are all fair game. Should you choose to wear Electric Pink, you can be bold and wear it proudly - or you can tone it down with shades of brown or grey. An easy way to add a touch of Electric Pink to your wardrobe is through accessories, like the pictured Patent Skinny Belt.
Next question: Now that Fall is here, it’ s time to put away the Espadrilles and the Gladiator Sandals (sigh). We’re shopping around for Fall shoes - and we’re considering Oxford Flats. But what do you think? Tell us, would you wear Oxford Flats? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

We asked: Would you wear Slouchy Trouser Pants?
You said: Absolutely Not. A full 63% of you said No to Slouchy Trouser Pants.
Style tip? For those of you with wide shoulders and narrow hips, you may be able to pull off Slouchy Trouser Pants, as they’ll visually
balance out your body. For everyone else, forget the extra volume at the hip and instead opt for trouser pants with a wide leg (as pictured). Pair them with a slim fitting shirt for the most sophisticated, figure flattering look.
Next question: Electric Pink will be playing a starring role next Spring. But it’s not too early to get a jump on this bold color. Tell us, would you wear Electric Pink? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

As we dissected Fashion Week Spring 2009, we identified a handful of trends that are not only nearly universally flattering–but also just as wearable for Fall as they are for Spring. So don’t wait! Here’s five trends you can wear this Fall AND next Spring - just remember to layer, layer, layer.

We asked: Would you wear Ankle Boots?
You said: Yes to Ankle Boots, with 54% of the vote.
Style tip? Want the chicness of a boot and the flexibility of a regular shoe? Ankle boots to the rescue! You can spice up a traditional pencil skirt and blouse with the edginess of an ankle boot.
Next question: We noticed some controversy over Slouchy Trouser Pants as we reported on Fashion Week trends from New York last week. But what do you think? Tell us, would you wear Slouchy Trouser Pants? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Style tip? If there’s one thing we love, it’s pockets on dresses. Pockets on dresses are as pretty as they are practical. Wear your pockets on a full, feminine skirt, as seeen at Cynthia Steffe, Oscar de la Renta, and Narciso Rodriguez.

Style tip? Headbands have been around for a couple of seasons now. But this season’s headband is more embellished, more ornate. Pair this headband with something equally floaty and feminine.

Style tip? Gingham doesn’t have to be tiny, as it’s traditionally found. Lacoste and Trovata both expanded the size of the gingham pattern for a bold, graphic effect. Generally, the taller you are, the more oversized of a pattern you can wear - but even the giant gingham print at Trovata can be worn by most.

Style tip? Pink may not be the new Black, but electric pink is a striking choice for waking up your Spring wardrobe. Though a shade of brown would be a traditional accompaniment, we’re loving electric pink paired with a muted grey.
