Fall is filled with some great choices, and I've picked my favorites!
1. Jeggings
Jeggings are a combination of jeans and leggings and are most successful if they are of a thick enough fabric to provide smooth lines. Avoid anything too shiny, too thin, or too inexpensive. Be sure a longer top covers all your assets! A comfortable yet stylish look with long cozy wrap sweater and killer boots.
2. Oversized sweater
Fortuitously, tops this season are full of volume and are meant to be paired with leggings, jeggings, or skinny jeans. Add flats, boots, or a low heel. No stilettos please! Volume on top and skinny below is the proper silhouette.
3. Leopard print accessory
Animal prints are always in style and provide accent and interest to what may otherwise be a boring black outfit. If bold, you can go for a coat, jacket, cardigan, blouse, or skirt, as long as you don't go overboard. Best paired with something simple and classic. For less purr and drama, opt for an accessory like a hat, scarf, belt, handbag or shoe.
4. Lace up ankle boots
The military look from spring carries over into fall, so lace up style combat boots complement this trend and look au courant paired with a field jacket or cargo pants, or add spice to prior seasons outfits.
5. Across the body handbag
Not only is this look stylish, but terribly practical, leaving your hands free to chase down children or bargains. Handbags in general are structured and ladylike.
6. Military jacket
The olive green military field jacket from spring is definitely still present for fall. There is a platoon of choices out there! There are also many coats sporting epaulets and brass buttons for a military bearing. Just be sure not do overdo the look or you'll risk looking like you're ready for deployment.
7. Camel Coat
Fall heralds a return to classics and what could be more classic than a camel coat? If camel is just not your color, grey and red are other colors of the season.
8. Over the knee boots
These boots are perfect for tucking into leggings or skinny jeans to give a long, slender line, but also go from day to night over a date night dress.
9. Long skirt
Influenced by the TV series, "Mad Men", designers seem smitten by the calf length circle skirt as well as the the ankle length long skirts. Add this season's hot shoe, the oxford, or the penny loafer, also enjoying a renaissance, as well as the kitten heel for a 1950's touch of nostalgia.
10. Cape
This style is easy to wear, always comes back into fashion, and flatters just about every shape. This season, there are softer, drapey options.
