5 Chic Trends : If You Haven’t Tried, You Need To NOW!

After a stretch of blustery, almost-winter days, it’s easy to get into a comfortable rut, sartorially speaking. You know the routine — the one where you live in oversized sweaters, leggings, and maybe a cape (if you’re feeling adventurous), day in and day out.

Well, have I got news for you: There are scores of other legitimately awesome fashion trends that you’re missing out on. Haven’t worked a leather top yet? What about a velvet skirt? And wedge sneakers? YES, these are all definetely worth the risk! I challenge you to try five of my favorite cold-weather looks. But, naturally, I’m also giving you the pro advice you need to pull ‘em all off in style. So, go ahead — it’s time to live a little!

Lace Basics

The easiest way to add both a feminine touch and some modern polish to your wardrobe? Swap out a basic wardrobe piece — like a button-up shirt or a blazer— with a lacy replacement.

Forever 21 Lace Solid Trim Shirt, $13.50, available at Forever 21.

Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Lace Blazer, $198, available at Macy’s.

Chic Sneaks

I’m obsessed with my Isabel Marants but a cool alternative are these babies for sure — they add a little extra height, but they’re super comfy, too.

Steve Madden Olympiaa High-Top Sneakers, $99.95, available at Steve Madden.

H&M Sneakers, $49.95, available at H&M.

Ash Bea Nappa Wedge Sneakers, $295, available at Amazon.

Collar I.D.
Swap out your go-to statement baubles with a tough-yet-sexy collar necklace. Win some extra style points by wearing it on the outside of a button-up shirt.

DANNIJO Gold-Plated Collar Necklace, $320, available at Stylebop.

Piano key necklaceBanana Republic Piano Key Necklace, $89.50, available at Banana Republic.

Leather Up

Equal parts tough and tasteful, leather (and its faux counterpart) adds a decidedly grown-up edge. Look for tailored silhouettes, and remember, small doses go a long way — leather sleeves and panels are easy ways to spice up basics.

Charlotte Ronson Lambskin Leather Top, $450, available at Shopbop.

3.1 Phillip Lim Leather-sleeved Silk Crepe de Chine Dress, $995, available at Net-A-Porter.

Tinley Road Vegan Leather Peplum Top, $98, available at Piperlime.

Velvet Goldmine

Velvet is definitely having a moment, and why shouldn’t it? Luxe, cozy, and impossibly rich, this classic winter-wardrobe staple looks great in any form.

Mango Velvet Peplum Skirt, $39.99, available atMango.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Galya Velvet Dress, $398, available at Marc Jacobs.

Mango Sheer Under Layer Velvet Top, $49.99, available at Mango.

5 Ways to Wear a Classic Parka

Bundle up. The parka had a big presence on the Fall 2011 runways — from Rag & Bone to Altuzarra (left), the options on offer were a plenty. And with the likes of Phillip Lim, Jason Wu, and Alexander Wang all showing versions of the parka’s lighter-weight cousin — the anorak — for Spring 2012, it seems that sporty toppers are here to stay. See below for five stylish ways to wear yours, this Winter and beyond.

Warm-weather staples get Winter-ready with the addition of a leopard sweater and sheer tights.The honey hue of the coat adds a bit of romance — and makes the floral blouse pop — in this monochrome look.

Beyond basic. Casual classics are elevated with the help of a jaunty fedora and loads of fur.An oversized fur hood and a flouncy skirt lend glamour.

An earth-toned parka grounds this eclectic mix of color, print, and pattern.

Fall 2011 Trend: Floppy Hat And 70′s Style Fedoras

This Fall, the perky little fedoras of seasons past get a much-needed update. Spotted at the Fall 2011 Gucci show — and on the streets of Spring 2012 Fashion Week (above) — this season’s fedora is floppier, feminine, and just a tad ’70s — perfect for adding a bit of mystique to any cold-weather ensemble. Look for wide-brimmed versions in rich hues with luxe trimmings — leather, feathers, and extra-wide ribbon look especially chic for Fall. See below to shop our picks — and make this look your own.

How To Wear Printed Jeans

This season, printed jeans are everywhere: J Brand, Current/Elliott, Hudson, Rag & Bone, and Gap all have versions, just to name a few. Here, we’ve gathered five of our favorite animal-patterned jeans and devised a different way to wear each one — from super-relaxed to neatly polished — without having to fall back on a basic tee. See below

: Eclectic: Let the bold color of the pants (Current/Elliott, $409) set the tone and wear these with equally strong-hued pieces: a flowy top, ankle-strap wedges, and a gleaming statement necklace.

: Polished: Tame the wild print by topping these (J Brand, $381) with a boldly striped sweater, platform booties, and a colorful bag.

: Understated: Play up the neutral hue of these pants (Topshop, $80) by pairing with tonal pieces: a slouchy taupe turtleneck, suede wedge-boots, and an embossed clutch.

: Edgy: Vertiginous heels, an architectural jacket, and textural accessories add a bit of glam to this pair (Etoile Isabel Marant, $395).

: Casual: The classic leopard print on this pair (Current/Elliott, $289) gets dressed down with a relaxed sweatshirt, low-heeled booties, and a cozy scarf.

6 Weird Fall Trends You Might Actually Like

The last thing you want to be is a fashion victim, but sometimes, trends are an opportunity to test your sartorial boundaries. Because what’s fashion without a little risk, right? Last February’s fall runways had a wide variety of wackadoo looks that left us scratching our heads, as per usual. But, now that I’ve had a few months to mull them over, I’ve decided on six that I feel good about trying out. Leave your inhibitions in the closet… here are the six weirdest fall trends worth trying out. Who knows, you might end up loving them!

: Pilgrim-Chic — Stoic, modest, and sleek…the pilgrims knew a thing or two about minimalist dressing. We like the idea of a floor-length body-con dress paired with a killer pair of buckled shoes.

: Lodis Tanzania Buckle Belt, $48, available at Lodis; Topshop Twist Front Maxi Dress, $100, available at Topshop; Fluevog Britta Shoe, $189, available at Fluevog.

: Overalls — These ain’t your Cabbage Patch Kids’ coveralls. Think about the overall as an updated version of the jumpsuit, and pick pairs that have tapered legs, a close-fitting shape, and a fun fabric.

: Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Overalls, $276, available at Opening Ceremony; Steven Alan Atticus Overall, $288, available at Steven Alan.

: Oversized Coats — Choose a too-boxy option, and an oversized coat will look more comical than chic. A good rules- Coats should still fit you in the shoulders and armpits. Only the body and sleeves should have volume.

: Cheap Monday Egg Coat, $194, available at ASOS (also available for $158 at Oak)- Diesel Black Coat, $549, available at Coggles.

: Crafty Crochet — Doilies, afghan blankets, quilts…your grandma’s crocheting habit should remain in her home, and not on your body. Instead, play toward this trend with an intricately crocheted top in a silky thread.

: Miss Selfridges Pink Top, $51, available at Miss Selfridge; M Missoni Crochet Skirt, $645, available at Net-a-Porter.

: Jeeves’ Uniform — We’re obsessed with the idea of wearing a slim tuxedo to this season’s holiday parties. Choose a bright jacket in a slim silhouette for a fun twist on the look.

: Elliot Tux Pant, $248, available at Barneys.

: The Formal Pajama — Instead of the literal pajama details, opt for silhouettes that are less boxy and more high-fashion. Just make sure the prints match… that’s all part of the fun! Or, break it apart and wear the silk pajama top as a cardigan. In a fun print, it’ll be a cheeky way to layer this fall.

: VF Leaves Pant, $285, available at DVF; DVF Arianda Top, $398, available at DVF; Alexa Chung for Madewell Pajama Top, $200, available at Madewell.
