Cykel Boot by Tretorn

Even if you’ve already picked up your army boots for Fall, you’ll still want to take a look at these hardcore high top sneakers. Ruggedly outdoorsy, they’re still sleek enough for an urban lifestyle.

You Said: No to Neckties for Women

We asked: Ladies, would you wear a Necktie?

You said:  No to Neckties, with a 59-41 split in votes.

Style tip? Though the majority of you voted against neckties for women, a significant minority (41%) were open to co-opting this traditionally masculine accessory.  An easy way of trying on this trend?  A skinny black necktie, a la garconne, worn with a crisp white shirt and a creamy camel coat.  Finish off the look with a pair of roomy wool trousers and a pair of killer heels.  Another option?  Try a grey jersey tie, a nod to the sweatshirt/sweatpant trend that swept stores this summer.  Or do as the men do and use your tie to add a bit of pattern to your look - the season’s 70s inspired tartan plaids feel very au courant.

Next question: Midi Length Skirts, so named because they hit at mid-calf, are completely on trend, as per the Fall/Winter 2010 runway shows.  But they’re also a somewhat difficult silhouette to pull off, given that they visually cut your leg at mid-calf.  But what do you think?  Tell us, would you wear midi length skirts?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!
