Want to be “one of the guys” but still look like a girl? Then tap your inner Katherine Hepburn with some of the menswear looks that are popular this season. Borrow the credibility-enhancing collars, jackets, and vests from the guys without ever letting them forget you’re a woman.

The dress revolution that started last spring carries into fall with easy, eye-catching dresses. Dress them up with scarves or belts; dress them down with more casual accessories. But do grab a couple this season so you can still look great — even on those hectic mornings when you have trouble getting out the door.

For those of us who had trouble pulling off the leggings look the first time around back in the ’80’s, here’s a figure-flattering alternative: the wide leg pant. It makes heavier thighs look longer and thinner and nicely balances wide hips. Be careful of cuffed styles, though, particularly if you have short legs. Cuffs visually shorten the leg.

Black and white remains popular year after year because it’s simple and easy and always looks good. Add a little red to the mix for the cooler months and you have an eye-catching combo. Other easy looks? Try all black with a red bag, all white with a black bag, all red with a black bag, etc.

Like shiny ornaments on a Christmas tree, jewel tones and cool weather go hand-in-hand. Emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red - well, you get the idea. Want a little more luxury? Try adding some emeralds, sapphires, and rubies to your jewelry box for years and years of jewel tone style!

Cool gray, shimmering gold, burnished bronze - if it’s metallic, it’s hot this season. You’ll find it in apparel, accessories, home furnishings and more, so if you like this look, you’ll enjoy this trend. Just be sure to stick with tones that flatter your skin tone for a flattering, luminescent look.

Great coats return this season with interesting shapes, fabrics, and colors. Pick up pieces that work for your lifestyle (casual, dressy, etc.) or fill in those holes in your outerwear wardrobe. You’ll find a nice selection of cool weather hats this year as well, and lots of gloves in varying lengths.

Shiny bags echo the metallic trend and you’ll find glossy and patent styles galore. Bags are available in all sizes, fabrics, and styles to tempt your palette, but remember that neutral colors in classic shapes offer the most versatility.

Wide belts continue to be popular, and will continue to be so well into spring. They can add definition to waists or hips and finish an ensemble with a flourish. But they’re not for everyone. If you have a large waist, stomach, or bustline, stick with smaller, 1″ belts or opt for no belt at all.

Boots have been popular for several years and continue to be so this year. Wear them with dresses, skirts, and gauchos for a polished, cool-weather look. For something a bit more fashion-forward, take those ankle boots you always wear with pants and pair them with a skirt or dress. Tie the look together with textured or colored tights.
