Style tip? Beware of the volumizing power of chunky knits; they can make even the trimmest of models look like she ate too much for dinner. The best way to wear chunky knits is to acknowledge their volume and pair them with more figure conforming clothing. If you have a chunky knit sweater, for example, pair it with skinny pants, tights, or drapey trousers (as in the Nanette Lepore and Luca Luca examples).

Style tip? Just like an animal in the wild, you can steal the show in a full-on animal print. And indeed, our favorite way to wear these statement prints is to go bold. Just look at the Oscar de la Renta leopard print dress; we can’t take our eyes off of it. If a head-to-toe animal print is too much for you, try wearing a animal print top–or an accessory. It’s amazing what an animal print scarf (or handbag) can do for your look.

Style tip? Want a color that’s not so basic? Try teal, a sophisticated mix of blue and green. As befits its roots, pair teal with blues and greens for best effect. We’re especially loving the navy and teal combo, as seen at Lacoste.

Style tip? With all that’s happening in the world, people are staying in and cocooning. But you can stay cozy when going out in a cocoon coat. The blousy shape isn’t particularly flattering, but the volume is definitely dramatic. As seen on the runway, wear your cocoon coat with thin pants, tights, or leggings for a big-over-small look.

Style tip? Black’s not a new cold weather color. But it seems that black is the new black for Fall 2009. The good news is that you can wear basic black without being too basic. Just mix your blacks up with different textures - shiny and matte, knits with wovens, sheers with opaques.

Style tip? Zippers are traditionally used to get in and out of your clothes. But they’re also an edgy way to embellish your clothes. Use them to your advantage by drawing attention to where you want a spotlight. Love your waistline? Draw attention there with zipper details. Bonus style tip? Vertical zippers will give you the longest, leanest look.

Style tip? There’s nothing quite like a brooch to add a dose of instant style to an outfit. You can go big (a la Carrie from Sex and the City), or you can try a smaller piece in an eye catching color or texture.

Style tip? Capes and Capelets add a posh, Euro chic touch to any outfit. They’re a great layering piece and can add texture (as at Tuleh), a sleek sophistication (as at Jeremy Laing), and warmth (as at Y-3). Capelets are lovely on petite women, while full length capes are better worn by taller women.

Style tip? You don’t have to stick your short sleeved and sleeveless dresses into storage when it’s cold out. Just layer them over a long sleeved shirt or sweater. Solids are safe, but don’t you love the visual texture of the grey dress over the green and grey stripes? Gorgeous.

Style tip? Blue is such a relaxing color, and it’s a perfect shade for cool weather days. For the longest, leanest look, you can wear blue head to toe. But blue doesn’t have to be boring - for more visual variety, combine different shades of blue in the same outfit, as in the Lacoste example.
