Style tip? Print and pattern are everpresent at Fashion Week - but the story here is the abstract, arty nature of these prints. It’d be easy to reimagine these dresses as paintings in a gallery. The abstract nature of these prints feels very modern art. We love pairing these abstract prints with minimal accessories - a belt or a handbag is fine, but these looks don’t require layers of jewelry or anything overly attention grabbing. The gorgeous prints speak for themselves.

Style tip? Round sunglasses may not have been in the style spotlight for a few decades, but they’re making a massive comeback for Spring/Summer 2011. These circular shades feel retro - and pair very nicely with feminine looks. We spotted them on the runways paired with day and cocktail dresses, along with blouse and skirt combinations. What we like about these sunglasses is that they don’t take themselves too seriously - though they do pack a serious style punch!

Style tip? What do the Venice Bienniale and New York Fashion Week have in common? A focus on architecture. Fashion Week’s silhouettes were decidedly architecturally inspired, with neat, precisely cut drapes and folds. We were especially taken with the organic shapes at Narciso Rodriguez and the careful origami-like precision at fellow minimalist Calvin Klein. But this architectural construction extends past the minimalists - even Diane von Furstenberg featured precisely draped knots on her exuberantly printed dresses. Let these architectural beauties stand alone as the focus of your outfit; our favorite way to wear them is to let them shine with shoes and accessories that focus the eye on the construction itself.

Style tip? The beauty of the boyfriend blazer is its laid back, carefree essence. It’s cut a bit long, it’s not perfectly fitted - and has that je ne sais quoi that makes it so alluring. If you don’t already have one (or several), do go out and get one in a nice, neutral color - black or grey works especially well. You’ll be able to pair it with everything from a skinny pair of pants to your spring dresses (belted, of course). For an extra slim look, look for one with a skinny lapel, like the Narciso Rodriguez blazer shown at left. If you already have your basic boyfriend blazers hanging in your closet, you can try one with a bit of embellishment, via color or texture.

Style tip? It seems apropos that we start off our Spring/Summer 2011 fashion trend coverage with a theme so pure. White is clean, it’s fresh, and it’s a new palette from which to create. And it’s clearly in line with Fall’s neutral, sand based palette. Indeed, it seems that white is the new beige! How to wear white? We love wearing different shades of white and off-white together, mixing tones and textures. A gauzy knit sweater, for example, contrasting against a crisp pair of knee length shorts, crease line intact. As for accessories, you can go with anything you want - metallics look especially fetching, but if you want to add a spot of color, brights or pastels work equally well.

The passing of Labor Day marks the end of the summer festivities, new beginnings for school, and a fresh start to a new quarter in the workplace. But you don’t have to be in school to get into the fresh back-to-school spirit. The Herschel Supply Company brings us a crisp, clean take on the classic school backpack and updates it with the details that matter - custom fabric lining, an internal computer sleeve, and a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket.
$65 at Need Supply.

We asked: Would you wear Denim on Denim?
You said: No to Denim on Denim, with a 74-26 split in votes.
Style tip? In a season celebrating utility fabrics, it’s only natural to be tempted to double up on the denim. But how do you wear denim on denim without looking like you’re over-the-top matchy? The trick is to vary something about the denim–it can be the color, the weight, the texture, or even the distressing. We love the look of a light chambray shirt (like the J Crew one pictured) paired with a dark rinse denim bottom - skinny jeans or a skirt will do. Try finishing off the look with a dash of color, as with a bright red satchel or tote.
Next question: This week, we have a question for the guys out there. Would you carry a man bag? These men’s totes and side bags are practical, but they’re certainly not for every guy. But what do you think? Tell us, would you carry a man bag? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

With Fall 2010’s strong military influence, rugged looking boots are perfectly on point for the season. We’re eyeing Bed Stu’s version of the hardcore boot - especially thanks to the foldover leather tongue.
$125 at Urban Outfitters.
