Choosing Colors For Your Wardrobe
The first step in a put-together look is to find out which colors best complement your skin tones. Skin tones can be divided into “cool” or “warm” types. If you know which colors complement your skin tone, you can make better fashion choices. Some colors will be more flattering to each person’s skin. Once you have your colors in mind, then move on to jewelry choices. Copper jewelry complements most skin tones.

The Hourglass Silhouette
This fall, the biggest change in womenswear is the return the hourglass silhouette. After seasons of flowing gowns and baby-doll dresses, designers bring clothes back to the body, with cinched skirts and waist-defining silhouettes. Prada's Fall 2008 collection features peplum, extra fabric at the hips to emphasize a small waist. Alexander McQueen created dramatic hourglass shapes under intricately knitted dresses. Derek Lam has shapely wool corsets to pair with business pants and skirts. While these looks are in designer stores now, "it might take the mainstream stores a little longer to catch up," Sharon Graubard, creative director of trend forecasting and consultancy ESP Trendlab. "If you're really a fashionista [buy] it now, because next fall it will really blossom and hit the masses." (See womenswear video.)
