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.

There’s something that’s just so refreshing about the color teal. We love its effortless chic - and want an excuse to wear it more often. Forever 21 solved our teal problem by transforming it into handbag form. Can’t you just see this satchel paired with a blood orange top?
$21.80 at Forever 21.

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? Floaty goddess gowns are a key eveningwear trend for Spring 2009. Wear these drapey gowns with bold, strappy sandals - a solid foundation for a truly ethereal look.

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.

Style tip? We’re already seeing the peep toe boot this Fall - and it appears that the trend will continue through Spring. It’s an offbeat trend, but the peep toe detail softens the inherent hardness of the boot.
