Red Accents You'll be seeing red this fall because Lipstick Red accents are all the rage - with "accents" being the key word here. Instead of dressing head-to-toe in red, opt for red shoes, a red coat, or a red handbag. You'll get to wear them more and be right on trend. Just remember that all reds are not created equal. Opt for blue-based reds if you have blue (cool) undertones, orange-red if you have yellow (warm) undertones.	Coldwater Creek.com   Stuart Weitzman GothamCity Online.com
Menswear Touches Pinstripes, vests, matching suits - they're all very popular this season and can give you added authority for those times when you need it most, like presentations, important meetings, and the like. Want to come off as a powerful woman? Then contradict the severity of the menswear with a ruffled blouse, cascading curls, or bright red lipstick.	LaRedoute.com   Calvin Klein Macys.com
Feminine Touches Hand-in-hand with the menswear look are soft, feminine embellishments that are as "girlie" as they come. Ruffles, bows, and lace offer a nice polish to simple staples like pants, cardigans, and the like. Just don't go overboard, particularly at the office.	Chadwicks.com   Ralph Lauren Macys.com
Suede Suede has always been a popular cool-weather fabric, but you'll find it in abundance this year. Jackets, skirt, pants, accessories - you're sure to find something you like. Just remember that suede requires special care and soils easily, so be sure to keep maintenance in mind when you buy.	Jessica London.com   Michael Kors Bluefly.com
Textured Knits Sweaters and cool weather go hand-in-hand, and this fall you'll find lots of great looks you'll love. Ruffles, fringe, embroidery and lace embellish cardigans, sweater coats, and sweater dresses. Just be mindful of the bulk: textured fabrics will make you look bigger, so be careful where you put it.

Gauchos With cropped pants so popular these last few years, it was only inevitable that designers would bring back gauchos. You'll see them in many interpretations this year, from casual wear to business attire. Pair them with a boot for a chic fall look, or a slim shoe like a pump. Nothing clunky or chunky, please, or you'll visually shorter and widen your leg.	Metrostyle.com   Macys.com
Embroidery This trend continues from spring, when "Boho Luxe" was so popular. You'll find intricate patterns on everything from coats to skirts to shoes, and some of the artistry is quite lovely. If you like to embroider yourself, pull out your threads and get creative. Whether you buy or do-it-yourself, just remember the rules of proportion: keep embellishments in proportion to your body size.	Jessica London.com   Bluefly.com
Velvet touches This former holiday/evening fabric continues its transition into day as you'll find plenty of velvet touches to choose from this fall. Blazer, belts, skirts - you name it - you'll find it in lots of interpretations this year. Just be mindful that velvet is a delicate fabric that shows wear quickly, particularly at stress points like elbows and knees.	Chadwicks.com   LaRedoute.com
Crocodile Accents Crocodile has long been a luxury favorite because of its distinctive pattern. These days, both real and faux crocodile accents are popular, and you can find them in belts, handbags, and shoes. If you choose simple styles, you can wear them years to come.

Wide Belts "It's all about the waist," a fashionista told me recently, and if you flip through a few fashion magazines and look at a few fashion sites, you'll see that's true. Wide belts can look fabulous, but let me be frank: they can also be tricky. If you're high-waisted, have no discernible waist, or tend to carry excess weight in your tummy, a wide belt can further emphasize these challenges. So look around, try some things, and even look for belts that offer sleight-of-hand tricks, like those that have unusual curves, that fall asymmetrically, or that sit below the waistline.
