Buy, Keep and Remix: What’s In and Out for Fall

Arguably the fashionista’s favorite season of the year, fall always packs a punch with intense trends and statement accessories. So what’s in store this autumn? Here’s the short list of what you should get, try differently and break out of storage. By Ysolt Usigan
The Blush

Buy: Bold Collars

Blouse with orange collar and printed skirt Next Slide

We saw collars take center stage at the fall 2012 presentations of Oscar de la Renta, Preen (pictured) and Rodarte.

Keep: Feathers

Previous Slide Michael Kors Feather-Print Blouse Next Slide

Both Michael Kors (pictured) and Prabal Gurung showcased dresses and skirts made of feathers on their runways for fall 2012. If you have feathery things from spring, continue to wear them, like this Michael Kors Feather-Print Blouse ($99.50, MichaelKors.com).

Remix: Leather

Previous Slide Leather-lined blazer Next Slide

Leave it to Calvin Klein (pictured) and Derek Lam to showcase leather in their collections. It's just the thing to encourage us to unearth our leather pieces from storage. Not looking to take a giant leap into the trend? Try a leather-lined blazer like this one from Calvin Klein ($79.99, CalvinKlein.com).

Keep: Statement Hats

Previous Slide Jason Wu and Marc Jacobs Next Slide

Not just any hat -- but a statement hat! We saw bold toppers at Jason Wu and Marc Jacobs (pictured), so if you have one, keep rockin' it.

Remix: Fur

Previous Slide Rachel Zoe Trish Faux Fur Peacoat Next Slide

Instead of wearing full-on fur like last fall and winter, opt for fur accents, like in linings, hoods and collars. Your inspiration: Rachel Zoe Trish Faux Fur Peacoat ($675, SaksFifthAvenue.com)

Keep: Blanket Coats

Previous Slide Blanket coat Next Slide

Still have that long, blanket-y scarf from last fall and winter? Break it out, belt it and go. Alice + Olivia and Rag & Bone (pictured) have brought back the trend.

Buy: Maroon

Previous Slide Maroon coat Next Slide

From the flared minis at DKNY to the sleek coats at Alexander Wang, our fall previews suggest to us that maroon is going to be a big color this season. Set aside all the neon and opt for this more autumn-y hue.

Keep: Peplum

Previous Slide Peplum skirt Next Slide

Don't store or toss your peplum skirts and dresses just yet. You can still wear them this fall. Your inspiration: Zac Posen fall 2012 (pictured).

fashion: trends & must-haves for your wardrobe

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)
