1. Color coordinate! And by color coordinate we mean match the shade of your lipstick with the color of your dress. This might sound tricky and we know that being too color coordinated can become a fashion faux pas, but here’s our tip: use only red or deep tones like plum on your lips.

Stay away from bubblegum pinks!

2. Wear a clutch…during day time! Clutches are not only for evening wear, you can easily wear them from nine-to-five. And look super chic! Just take Tamara Mellon’s, founder and chief creative officer at Jimmy Choo, advice: “It’s a fresh, modern alternative to an oversize bag.”  Sure, you have to avoid satin and all over sequins for day time. We love Kim Kardashian’s leopard print clutch!

3. Dare to rock a pair of cute socks with a skirt! This is one of the most popular trends on the runways and we must say it looks cute. Best way to wear this trend is by matching the socks to the color of your shoes – we suggest you start the easy way and wear black. You’ll notice that it will look like you’re wearing booties. You can opt for ankle or knee length.

4. Have fun with fabrics and prints by mismatching them! This fall you are allowed to pair florals with polka dots or animal print with stripes. Give this bold trend a try and mismatch your prints!

5. Wear denim…from head to toe! The trick to getting it right? According to Gap’s executive vice president of design, Patrick Robinson “mix fabric weights and washes”.

Now tell us, which of these 5 bold trends would you try for fall?

Knit. There’s nothing cutter than a knitted cardigan worn with a flower pattern dress, don’t you agree?

Leather. This is probably one of the most popular trends ever! So make sure you invest in a black leather jacket and a figure hugging pair of leather pants.

Nostalgic pieces. Think ’70s style and invest in simple, vintage pieces, a pair of clogs or some fashionable platform shoes like these Shellys Maple Wooden Platform Shoes or, if you’re not on a budget, these cute Miu Miu Spring 2010 RTW Crystal Embellished Sparrow Print Sandals.

Over the knee boots. There’s nothing sexier to wear for fall than a pair of knee length boots!

Proper Etiquette. This means that buttoned up collars are in style and pretty much anything Mad Men inspired: full skirts, nipped-in waists or twin sets.

Quilted fabrics. If you feel great then you look great too, and quilted fabrics offer both!

Romantic lace. We love this trend: it’s elegant, feminine and pretty. Take a look at this year’s Miu Miu collections, Antonio Berardi and Top Shop for inspiration. You’ll find some fabulous pieces!

Shawls. Pashmina shawls will add the perfect final touch to any outfit, making you feel and look fabulous. Not to mention they can be worn with success in lots of different ways, to any occasion or event.

Turtleneck Sweater. Why you should wear this trend? Turtleneck brings your face into focus and is also an ultimate classic.
Unisex fashion. This fall season create a bold and stylish look with an elegant tuxedo jacket or go for casual chic by wearing your boyfriend’s black blazer.
Velvet. There’s no fabric as glam as velvet. There are many ways to wear this fabric but we recommend you keep things simple and stick with the basics.

White Shirt. We’re talking about a basic piece that must not be missing from your fall wardrobe. The ways to wear a white shirt are endless so wait no more and go shopping!
Xtra strong colors!

Yeti inspired fashion. Be careful with this trend and try to avoid wearing head to toe fur/faux fur. Instead, opt to spice up your autumn outfits with one Yeti-inspired item at a time: fur vests, fur boots or Mukluks

Zany prints and patters. This season, when it comes to prints and patters, anything is allowed. The crazier, the better!

Fashion Color Trends Fall 2010

A new season has started and we need to be prepared: know what’s in and what’s out, what the season’s key clothing pieces are and what colors we should wear this fall. Here’s our fashion color report for fall 2010 plus tips on how to wear your favorite colors:

Bright Red is this season’s “it” color and every fashionista must have at least one accessory or clothing piece in this fiery color in her wardrobe. Dare to make a statement with an all red stylish ensemble like Heidi Klum or simply pair your autumn outfits with a gorgeous red scarf , a red belt, a purse and a pair of sexy red heels as seen on Katie Holmes.

Jewel Tones: emerald green, royal purple, and cobalt blue are some of this season’s must have color tones. Pair jewel tones with basic black and the result will be breathtaking! Take a hint from these gorgeous ladies: Freida Pinto and America Ferrera. And if you don’t want to spend lots of money on a new dress, simply ad a touch of color to your autumn attire with a lovely blue shawl.

Gold. No jewelry required if you’re planning to wear a skintight dress like Jennifer Lopez or a yellow gold pashmina wrapped around your neck!

Classic Beige and Camel. This season opt for beige and camel items, other than the classic camel trench coat. Try on a silky beige blouse, a pair of camel pants, a sexy nude dress or subtle beige accessories.

Last but definitely not least: Black. Since sheer lacy numbers are one of the fall’s hottest trends we recommend a lacy LBD similar to the one worn by Zoe Saldana. And if you feel like you need a bit more coverage, wrap yourself in a luxurious satin shawl.

It’s official: autumn’s here! Goodbye short summer dresses, flip flops, cute tank tops, hello fall fashion trends! That’s right; it’s time to renew your wardrobe with this season’s key clothing pieces:

• 1. Leather Jacket. Best buy this autumn: a quality leather/faux leather jacket. As you’ve probably noticed by now, leather clothing is an on-going trend. We suggest you invest in a black leather jacket and try pairing it with a feminine cocktail dress and some heels. It will be a nice change from the classic leather jacket and jeans combo. We loved this look:

If you’re the type who prefers a comfy yet chic look, pair your leather jacket with a fashionable denim scarf. Not only it will keep you warm, but you’ll also look great!

• 2. The Floral Dress. The summer may be over, but this trend is still going strong. So don’t put away your floral dresses this fall. Wear a floral dress with a matching knitted cardigan for maximum cuteness. Take a hint from Reese Witherspoon:

• 3. Military inspired clothing. This was a spring trend, summer trend and we’ll get to enjoy it this fall too! We suggest you try out the cargo pants. We’ve seen Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Cole and many more fashionistas sporting the famous olive cargos.
• 4. Full Skirts. Two words: Mad Men. Pair them with a fitted top to show off that tiny waist or a sexy see through blouse, you’ll love the results. Just take a look at a gorgeous full ’60s dress from the Louis Vuitton A/W 2010, for inspiration.

• 5. Menswear Bottoms. Put your skinny jeans away for a moment and try on a pair of menswear bottoms. They’re perfect for a daytime look or at the office. Hands in the pockets and strut your stuff. Here’s some inspiration:

Bonus: Fall color 2010 trends Jewel tones (ruby, purple, and royal blue), Gold, Beige and Pastels (Dusty Rose, Light Pink, and Lagoon), Bright Red and Coral are some of this season’s hottest colors.
