Fall Into What's New

Remix prints and patterns -- the only limit is your imagination for combinations.

A subversive color palette presents a modern statement for classic separates.

Toss away the rules for color combinations.

Feel free to clash your colors, prints, and patterns in as many assorted and eclectic combinations as possible.

Prepare to ramp up your dexterity for layering.

Experiment with textures, such as the shimmer of metallic sequins paired with luxe satin stripes.

Velvet is queen — the textile of the season!

This is the second cool weather season that autumnal florals have taken root on the runway scene. Switch out your summer hothouse florals for the duskier, headier blooms of fall.

Autumn’s floral statement piece can add the perfect feminine overtones.

Pretty sleeves, from slashed or sheer to ballon or bell, are adorning arms and wrists.

You can still bare your shoulders if you please, but don’t overlook the greatest cover-up -- Pretty Sleeves.

If you are the woman who loves to drape herself in velvet, then this is the season to adorn yourself from top to toe. From jackets to shoes, fashion is not confining this luxurious fall update to evening wear.

Soft tweeds, fine houndstooths, and classic plaids, generally associated with masculine attire and bespoke tailoring, are reinterpreted into romantic, feminine silhouettes.

Combine pattern mixes of tweeds, tattersalls, or plaids with playful florals and metallic brocades.

Classic pinstripe is reinterpreted into a modern, but feminine shirtdress.

Just when we thought the pantsuit was excused from the wardrobe, it shows up unexpectedly and redefines a new mode of daytime dressing or evening.

A beautiful mix of luxe textiles, relaxed proportions, tonal hues, and traditional patterns for an autumnal update to our wardrobes.

The blazer is a wardrobe staple. Select one in a bold stripe to punctuate office dressing.

Military style is a recurring trend in fashion. It's had posh treatment for several seasons. How you wear the look is key -- stick to military references rather than full-blown regalia.

The bomber jacket is the heroine piece of streetwear. While leather is still the most coveted fabric of choice, the bomber gets styled up in embroidered silks/satins or camo prints.

Think unfinished hems, a colorful display of patchwork, raw edges, and top to toe silhouettes. Washes are from light to dark to raw and distressed.

Select military pieces in modern, feminine silhouettes such as khaki jackets and olive cargo trousers, the officer's waistcoat with gilded trims and buttons or decorated with beading and forgery, and ink blue military coats.

It is always great to have a jacket for the chiller days of autumn. Brave a cooler, wetter season in a "puffa" that offers the elements of warmth and cheer.

The key is mixing your denim pieces together, having that all-in-one-look, but ever so slightly unedited and deconstructed.
