1980s inspired fashion at Betsey Johnson, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Preen.


Style tip?  Ah, the 80s.  The oversized sweater, the giant pouf sleeves, the leggings. 
Wear with irony (and sparingly).

Floor Length Dresses at BCBG, Lela Rose, and Oscar de la Renta.


Style tip?  Dark colors are most figure flattering, but why not try a column of color?  The monochromatic floor length dress will give you a long, lean look, regardless of hue.

What do you think?  Would you wear a floor length dress?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Fishnet detailing at Verrier, Baby Phat, and Sass & Bide.


Style tip?  An overtly sexy item, fishnets are best worn with garments that are somewhat more conservative.  Fishnets + Skintight Minidress = Not Stylish.

The Color Purple at Diane Von Furstenberg, Abaete, and Oscar de la Renta.


Style tip? 
Purple continues its reign over the catwalk this season.  Go bright (like Abaete) or dress in a more muted shade (like Oscar de la Renta).  Purple pairs wonderfully with a splash of yellow–or chocolatey browns.

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

Double Breasted Jackets at Oscar de la Renta, Charles Nolan, and Rag & Bone.


Style tip?  For the longest, leanest look, single breasted jackets are best.  Double breasted jackets add visual width (but also a dash of style), so pick a jacket with strong vertical elements for the most figure flattering look.

What do you think?  Would you wear a double breasted jacket?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Chocolate Brown at Charles Nolan, Costello Tagliapietra, and United Bamboo.


Style tip?  Grey dominated the runways for Fall 2007, but Chocolate Brown appears to be making a resurgence.  We love the look of Chocolate Brown with pastel color–for spring and for fall.

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