TREND TO TRY – GO WIDE

Wide-leg trousers are the new silhouette du jour. I’m not saying you have to throw away your skinnies, but this is one flattering trend you’ll want to keep in rotation. Pair them with everything from a cropped sweater and metallic oxfords to a matching blazer and sexy stilettos.

THE WINTER STAPLE

There is nothing more classic than a standout jacket, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with it and you can get away with wearing what truly makes you comfortable underneath. Feel free to get away with jeans and a T-shirt all winter long.

FALL FASHION

Autumn 2014 is about transformative clothes. It’s about boiling down everything that was on the runways to the one thing (or 75-plus things) to buy next season that will instantly update a look. And the statements are simple: Try a longer skirt, one that hits midcalf or the upper ankle. They’re as spring as spring can be but this season feel the power of flowers. Take cues from your favorite gallery and wear something artful. This season, there is fashion for every personality.
