We asked:Is The Leather Jacket In or Out?
You said: In! A whopping 68% majority voted The Leather Jacket In.
Omiru’s take: The Leather Jacket is one of those silhouettes that never really goes out of style. Good thing, since it’s expensive to buy a well made jacket. Should you decide to go leather, buy a ruggedly classic style that you can wear year in and year out. Style tip? Contrast your downtown chic leather jacket with a dress–or top with feminine detailing. Or keep it simple and pair the jacket with a white tee and a pair of grey jeans, as pictured.
Next question: Boots are a perennial fall footwear favorite, but what do you think about boots that end at the ankle? Tell us, are Ankle Boots In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!

We asked:Is The Color Grey In or Out?
You said: IN! 91% of you are all for this traditional Fall color.
Omiru’s take: We’re wearing grey this fall, too. It’s a versatile alternative to black, which has a more severe feel to it. Style tip? Grey outfits don’t have to be drab. Pair grey with the bright colors you’ve been wearing this summer for autumn outfits with a kick. Men can spruce up a grey suit with a brightly colored scarf, while women can weave color into a predominantly grey outfit through layering.
Next Question: Seems that the latest red carpet trend is the One Shouldered Dress–very elegant and almost Grecian in style. But what do you think? Tell us, is the One Shouldered Dress In, or is it Out? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

We asked: Are Suspenders In or Out?
You said: Suspenders are Out. A 71% majority voted this questionable trend Out.
Omiru’s take: While suspenders are fine for old-school suit-wearing men, they’re less appealing elsewhere. We’re glad to see that you’re unafraid to vote an unflattering trend Out. No style tip this week–we’d prefer that you leave the suspenders back on the shelf where they belong.
Next Question: Dropped Waist Dresses (such as the dress pictured at left) played a key role at Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2007 fashion show. But what do you think? Tell us, are Dropped Waist Dresses In, or are they Out? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

We asked: Are Thick Frame Glasses In or Out?
You said: Yes! A 67% majority voted them In.
Omiru’s take: Style icons are unafraid to make a statement–so it’s no wonder that so many adorn themselves with Thick Frame Glasses (think Jackie O.). And what better place to make a statement than on your face. Style tip? Match the boldness of your facial features with the thickness of your glasses. Those with delicate facial features will look best in at most medium-thick glasses frames. But those with bold facial features can up the drama with thicker frames.
Next Question: Now that we’re nearing shorts weather, we want to ask you about another variety of cropped pant (that was all over Copenhagen Fashion Week): the Capri Pant. But what do You think?
