Style tip?  What’s the opposite of the oversized collar?  No collar at all.  Wear your collarless coat with a crewnecked shirt to echo the shape of the coat neckline.  For extra style points, you may also want to try coats with different neckline shapes, like the angled silhouette at Jeremy Laing.

Style tip?  While they’re tough to wear, bold and beautiful necklaces truly do give you star power.  The trick to wearing the necklace (instead of having it wear you)?  Go easy on the rest of your outfit - no crazy silhouettes, eye popping patterns, or rainbow colors.  Just keep it simple to let your bold and beautiful necklace shine.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Cropped Pants

Cropped Pants at Abaete, Verrier, and Lacoste.


Style tip?  Cropped pants are usually a Spring/Summer trend, but they’re hanging on for Fall/Winter 2009.  Probably not a good move for super cold climates (unless you cover up with tall boots), but do-able for warmer locales.  In order to look your longest and leanest, do as the Lacoste model (pictured right) does: wear boots or socks in a similar color to your pants to create an unbroken visual line from toe to waist.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Statement Plaid

Statement Plaid at Lela Rose, Diane von Furstenberg, and DKNY.


Style tip?  Plaid was big last year, and it’s going to be huge next Fall and Winter (and likely beyond).  Mix up your basic plaid wardrobe with some statement plaid prints.  Try an oversized repeat (like the Lela Rose and DKNY dresses) or a rainbow assortment of colors (as seen in the Diane von Furstenberg jacket).
