Style tip? Prints took a decidedly floral turn this season, an evolution from the graphic, geometric prints of the past few seasons. Choose a print in proportion to your body–e.g. if you’re petite, opt for a smaller print.

Style tip? Cropped blazers dominated the fashion scene for the past several seasons, which is great for long waisted gals. But for those of us with a short waist and long legs, the long blazer is much more figure flattering.

Style tip? Like turtlenecks, funnel neck garments work best on those with long necks. If you’re not blessed with a long swan neck, try a more open funnel neckline, a la Marc Jacobs.

Style tip? Bright pinks, greens, and yellows have their place on the runway–and on the streets. Pair with neutrals (or a muted tone in the same color family, a la DVF) for the most dramatic effect.

Style tip? Feathers are a decadent way choice for cocktail hour and beyond. Keep the rest of the outfit simple to focus attention on your gorgeous plumes.

Style tip? Pouf sleeves are great for camouflaging heavy upper arms. Keep the pouf small (as at Diane von Furstenberg) for the right balance of drama and wearability.

Style tip? Especially flattering is a nice burnt orange–a slightly reddish orange hue. Wear with other warm colors for best results.

Style tip? We’re crushing on black and white plaid right now. Wear with black (or white) for a stylish achromatic look. Love color? Add a pop of color with a handbag, scarf, or your shoes.
