Ombre at Herve Leger, Jonathan Saunders, and Lela Rose.


Style tip?  Ombre has to be one of our favorite trends, right up there with Dresses with Pockets.  It’s such a soothing design detail - reminiscent of seascapes, sunrises, and sunsets, depending on the color palette.  Wear your ombre dress, top, or skirt proudly - show off this gorgeous gradient!

Chocolate Brown at Tuleh, BCBG, and Miss Sixty.


Style tip?  Chocolate brown is such a warm, rich color.  Do it justice by pairing it with other warm tones — yellows, oranges, and salmon pink are especially charming.

Style tip?  Not a fan of skinny jeans?  Slouchy trouser pants to the rescue!  Wear these roomy trousers with a more fitted top for a classic small-over-big silhouette.

Lace at Catherine Holstein, Verrier, and Diane von Furstenberg.


Style tip? 
Catherine Holstein proves that lace doesn’t have to be feminine and sweet (though it so often is).  Pair the loveliest of lace dresses with the right accessories, and it can take on a distinct edge.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Yellow Green

Yellow Green at Rachel Comey, DKNY, and Costello Tagliapietra.


Style tip? 
Yellow green is a tough color to wear, no doubt.  We’d recommend keeping it away from your face, like the skirt at Rachel Comey (pictured, left).  The other great thing about the Rachel Comey example is that the top and belt help to tone the yellow green down with neutrals.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Pushed Up Sleeves

Pushed Up Sleeves at Alexander Wang, DKNY, and James Coviello.


Style tip? 
Pushing up your sleeves can give a breezy air to the most formal of outfits, and this styling technique works well for transition temperatures during both Spring and Fall.   Wear your long sleeves pushed up to near the elbow for best effect.   It doesn’t have to be picture perfect pushing–part of the beauty of this styling technique is its variability.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: The Oversized Vest

Oversized Vests at Alexander Wang, Reyes, and DKNY.


Style tip? 
This season’s vest is oversized instead of cropped.  While the shrunken vests hit you at the waist, these oversized vests reach down to your hip.  They’re great for elongating your torso if you’re shortwaisted (e.g.  have a short torso and long legs).  Wear an oversized vest if you’re looking to add an instant dash of polish to your outfit.

Style tip?  Salmon Pink looks great with chocolate brown, as seen at Verrier.  The delicate color really comes alive on dark–or tanned–skin.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Statement Pattern

Statement Pattern at Reyes, Costello Tagliapietra, and Lela Rose.


Style tip? 
When you’re working with a bold, statement pattern, keep the shape of your dress simple, as at Costello Tagliapietra (center) and Lela Rose (right).  Or wear a top or skirt in the statement pattern and balance it out with a solid color.  The red Costello Tagliapietra pattern would look lovely in skirt format paired with a maroon top, wouldn’t it?
