We asked: Would you wear Ankle Boots?
You said: Yes to Ankle Boots, with 54% of the vote.
Style tip? Want the chicness of a boot and the flexibility of a regular shoe? Ankle boots to the rescue! You can spice up a traditional pencil skirt and blouse with the edginess of an ankle boot.
Next question: We noticed some controversy over Slouchy Trouser Pants as we reported on Fashion Week trends from New York last week. But what do you think? Tell us, would you wear Slouchy Trouser Pants? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Style tip? If there’s one thing we love, it’s pockets on dresses. Pockets on dresses are as pretty as they are practical. Wear your pockets on a full, feminine skirt, as seeen at Cynthia Steffe, Oscar de la Renta, and Narciso Rodriguez.

Style tip? Headbands have been around for a couple of seasons now. But this season’s headband is more embellished, more ornate. Pair this headband with something equally floaty and feminine.

Style tip? Gingham doesn’t have to be tiny, as it’s traditionally found. Lacoste and Trovata both expanded the size of the gingham pattern for a bold, graphic effect. Generally, the taller you are, the more oversized of a pattern you can wear - but even the giant gingham print at Trovata can be worn by most.

Style tip? Floaty goddess gowns are a key eveningwear trend for Spring 2009. Wear these drapey gowns with bold, strappy sandals - a solid foundation for a truly ethereal look.

Style tip? Pink may not be the new Black, but electric pink is a striking choice for waking up your Spring wardrobe. Though a shade of brown would be a traditional accompaniment, we’re loving electric pink paired with a muted grey.

Style tip? We’re already seeing the peep toe boot this Fall - and it appears that the trend will continue through Spring. It’s an offbeat trend, but the peep toe detail softens the inherent hardness of the boot.

Style tip? Purple’s a huge trend for Fall, and it continues on for Spring. From royal purple to fuschia to eggplant, purple is a great way to warm up your Spring wardrobe. Pair purple with accessories in warm metallic shades.

Style tip? Spring 2009 is characterized by selective volume - on slouchy pants, poufy sleeves, and and bubble shaped skirts. The paperbag waistline is a fresh take on selective volume - plus the naturally high waistline can visually elongate the leg and make you look taller (or allow you to wear cropped pants).

Style tip? Spring’s sandal is bold - with thick straps and a high heel. And it works as well with feminine, floaty outfits as it does with tailored, structured ones.
