Style tip? For the longest, leanest look, single breasted jackets are best. Double breasted jackets add visual width (but also a dash of style), so pick a jacket with strong vertical elements for the most figure flattering look.

Style tip? Grey dominated the runways for Fall 2007, but Chocolate Brown appears to be making a resurgence. We love the look of Chocolate Brown with pastel color–for spring and for fall.

Style tip? T-Strap shoes were popularized in the 1920s and 1930s, and they’re still tempting us today. Because the strap is so high up on the foot, they can visually truncate the leg, making your legs look (slightly) shorter than they are. But if you’re game, there’s a t-strap shoe for every occasion, from a casual picnic in the park to a glamourous evening out on the town.

Style tip? Headbands are all the rage, and you can find some pretty nifty styles at great prices. The only downside is that an uncomfortable (read: too tight) headband can give you a headache. Check out our Q&A about How to Wear a Headband for headband tips and tricks…and where to find a comfortable one.

We asked: Are Leggings In or Out?
You said: In…and Out. You were divided 50-50 on Leggings.
Style tip?
While the 80s t-shirt and leggings look is (or should be, IMHO) Out, leggings can be tastefully worn layered under skirts and dresses. Sure helps to beat the cold, especially if you’re spending any amount of time outdoors. In any case, leggings are all over the Fall 2008 runways…so they’re not going anywhere soon.
Next question: Teal, a gorgeous jewel tone, is showing up all over the runways at New York Fashion Week. Would you wear teal? Cast your

Style tip? Half sleeves help to camouflage heavy arms–and can make your upper body look longer and leaner.

Style tip? The head-to-toe monochromatic look of the jumpsuit visually elongates the body, making you look taller.

Style tip?
This jewel tone looks great on fair skin tones and dark skin tones alike. What colors should you pair teal with? Try navy or green for a thoroughly cool look, or warm up the teal with brown (as seen at BCBG).
