Have you ever heard the term haute couture? I certainly have, many times. It means high fashion. But that’s only for the really bold ones. For now, the focus remains on how to make your everyday outfits a bit more chic.
Fall Trends:
Who isn’t in love with neon colors? They can make a dark outfit pop, with just the right amount of color. Add neon pieces with care; over-using is a don’t. Neon-colored jewelry, sneakers, or scarves are good ideas.
The biker is back on! With these metal accents, you will immediately feel tougher, not to mention a lot more glamorous. Try (faux) leather jackets, boots, vests, belts, and bags with studs, buckles, and zippers.
For all the girls out there: bring out the boyfriend trousers! Looking cute and comfortable in jeans, or polished and sophisticated in slacks, this trend is sure near perfection.
Another trend this season is lace. It might seem girly, but it is also quite mysterious. This vintage-y fabric can be added to just about any piece of clothing, from dresses to earrings. Still too girly for you? How about cool sneakers with just a little hint of lace, then?
One fool-proof way to make your outfit instantly dazzling: statement bangles. Mix-and-match them to get this season’s fashionable look.
Motorcycle jackets—definitely a do. Whether you like yours made of leather, or with zebra stripes, bomber jackets are a must.
Don’t shy away from ruffles. To make them less country and girly, add tough accessories and boots.
Want to stay warm this fall? Stock up on corduroy! It comes in all cool colors, sizes, and designs.
Plaid is so in. Whether you like your dosage of plaid in the form of skinny jeans, mini skirts, button-downs, dresses, or boots, make sure your closet has at least one plaid piece.
Add color to your outfit by putting on a pair of colored denim jeans. Jewel tones always work.
Ankle booties are everywhere. Studded, leather, with zippers—you name it. But the must-have booties are the peep-toe ones. Magic!
Go through your boyfriend’s closet and dig up that old blazer that he refuses to wear. Hey, if he doesn’t want it, why not make use of it? Pair it up with a belt or roll up the sleeves for rocker look.
This season it’s all about slim chains. Layer different lengths and play with pendants for a New York look.
Always Fashionable:
Whether your style is laid-back or sophisticated, the oversized tote bag will help you achieve it.
A timeless do is the LBD (little black dress). It can be girly enough for a date and glam enough for a party.
A little note from Paris: trench coats are in again. A tan one goes well with just about anything. If you add heels, it immediately screams just-off-the-runway. A look that is fierce can be achieved with a bright trench, boots, and chunky jewelry.

Feeling bold enough? True fashionistas would love to try out these trends:
Every red carpet includes at least a couple of sparkly dresses. Why shouldn’t you try it out, too? Just keep the accessories, make-up, and shoes simple, as to not overwhelm the outfit.
This spring the pocketed dresses were a huge hit. Well, this fall we have the belted dresses, which accentuate your waist and curves.
Strong shoulders can be found on almost all of the catwalks: from Yves Saint Laurent, Hermés, and Malandrino, to Betsey Johnson, DSquared², and The Blondes. Pull off this eccentric look with a cool fitted jacket.
Punk is definitely not dead this season. Add a few leather pieces to your wardrobe that have that grunge-y vibe.
Velvet is this season’s key evening fabric. Anything from jackets and dresses to pumps and clutches goes.
The key to balancing heavy tweed, such as seen in Marc Jacobs’ last collection, is combining it with light pieces, like a simple white button-down.
There are few lucky ones that can actually pull off the over-the-knee boots. Suede is the key material this season for this type of boots, present in London Fashion Week.
