Style tip? If there’s one color that defines Fall 2010, it has to be black. In a season of neutrals, dark colors, and understated tones, black is refined, it’s sophisticated, and it’s supremely chic. Forget the simple Little Black Dress - opt for one with an interesting detail or silhouette, like the asymmetric banding and draping on the Narciso Rodriguez dress. Or spice up your black with a shot of color, as at Diane von Furstenberg. Or keep your look head to toe black, but mix it up by combining different textures - rough and smooth, shiny with matte, and so forth - as the bohemian look at Charlotte Ronson.

Style tip? The beauty of belts are how they can help create a silhouette. For those of you with defined waists, the belt can reinforce your hourglass silhouette. And for those of you with a more boyish, up-and-down shape, the belt can create the illusion of a defined waist. Wear your belt slung low, as at VPL, or up high (and even over your coat!) as at Marc by Marc Jacobs. Or use a belt to create visual interest in an otherwise monochromatic outfit, as at Proenza Schouler.

Style tip? Purple is coming in all shapes, sizes, and hues this season. Try, if you dare, a bright shiny purple, a la Phillip Lim’s dashing cocktail dress. Or opt for a softer shade of purple, as at Luca Luca and Erin Fetherston. Whatever the shade, purple looks positively polished on simple silhouettes. Just let the color shine.
