Pouf Sleeves at Ports 1961, Catherine Malandrino, and Diane von Furstenberg.


Style tip? 
Pouf sleeves are great for camouflaging heavy upper arms.  Keep the pouf small (as at Diane von Furstenberg) for the right balance of drama and wearability.

What do you think?  Would you wear the pouf sleeve?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Orange at Philip Lim, Carolina Herrera, and Charles Nolan.


Style tip?  Especially flattering is a nice burnt orange–a slightly reddish orange hue.  Wear with other warm colors for best results.

Plaid at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, and Milly.


Style tip? 
We’re crushing on black and white plaid right now.  Wear with black (or white) for a stylish achromatic look.  Love color?  Add a pop of color with a handbag, scarf, or your shoes.

Style tip?  Wear the collarless jacket over a collarless shirt for best results.  Echo the shape of the jacket in the shirt for bonus points.

Fall 2008 Fashion Week Trend: Bishop Sleeves

Bishop Sleeves at Catherine Malandrino, Carolina Herrera, and Verrier.


Style tip?  We love the 3/4 bishop sleeve as seen at Verrier–much easier to wear than the full-length traditional bishop sleeve.  Wear with long gloves for maximum drama.

The Color Grey at Yigal Azrouel, Preen, and Philip Lim.


Style tip?  Grey dominated Fall 2007, and it’s back for Fall 2008.  Pair grey with bright jewel tones for the most vivacious look.  Or, if you want to play it safe, wear it with black or white.  Bonus points for wearing gunmetal grey.

Style tip?  For the most sophisticated look, keep the ombre shading in the same color family.  But for a more playful look, mix colors (a la Baby Phat).

Skinny Pants at Sass & Bide, Betsey Johnson, and Catherine Malandrino.


Style tip?  Balance the skinny pant silhouette with a more voluminous top for a classic big-over-small look.  And wear the tallest shoes you can bear to visually elongate your legs.

Style tip?  These straight-up-and-down flapper dresses are made for women with a small bust.  Work it!
