Style tip? Want a color that’s not so basic? Try teal, a sophisticated mix of blue and green. As befits its roots, pair teal with blues and greens for best effect. We’re especially loving the navy and teal combo, as seen at Lacoste.

Style tip? With all that’s happening in the world, people are staying in and cocooning. But you can stay cozy when going out in a cocoon coat. The blousy shape isn’t particularly flattering, but the volume is definitely dramatic. As seen on the runway, wear your cocoon coat with thin pants, tights, or leggings for a big-over-small look.

Style tip? Black’s not a new cold weather color. But it seems that black is the new black for Fall 2009. The good news is that you can wear basic black without being too basic. Just mix your blacks up with different textures - shiny and matte, knits with wovens, sheers with opaques.

Style tip? Zippers are traditionally used to get in and out of your clothes. But they’re also an edgy way to embellish your clothes. Use them to your advantage by drawing attention to where you want a spotlight. Love your waistline? Draw attention there with zipper details. Bonus style tip? Vertical zippers will give you the longest, leanest look.

Style tip? There’s nothing quite like a brooch to add a dose of instant style to an outfit. You can go big (a la Carrie from Sex and the City), or you can try a smaller piece in an eye catching color or texture.

Style tip? Capes and Capelets add a posh, Euro chic touch to any outfit. They’re a great layering piece and can add texture (as at Tuleh), a sleek sophistication (as at Jeremy Laing), and warmth (as at Y-3). Capelets are lovely on petite women, while full length capes are better worn by taller women.

Style tip? You don’t have to stick your short sleeved and sleeveless dresses into storage when it’s cold out. Just layer them over a long sleeved shirt or sweater. Solids are safe, but don’t you love the visual texture of the grey dress over the green and grey stripes? Gorgeous.

Style tip? Blue is such a relaxing color, and it’s a perfect shade for cool weather days. For the longest, leanest look, you can wear blue head to toe. But blue doesn’t have to be boring - for more visual variety, combine different shades of blue in the same outfit, as in the Lacoste example.

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.
