2011 Fall

We spotted wrap skirts on the runway from designers like Proenza Schouler, Aquascutum, Reed Krakoff, and more — the geometric, slightly off-kilter shape gives the standard skirt a fun face lift, and one that will look fresh and modern even when paired with more classic pieces. Typically worn low on the hips, it's a versatile piece that takes well to many different types of tops and sweaters. It may not be the most basic skirt style, but it can work seamlessly into your Fall wardrobe, giving you lots of wearability throughout the season. Ready to wrap it up? Read our tips, then click through to see 15 wrap skirts that you absolutely need this Fall.

• For an office-appropriate look, just look to Proenza Schouler's chic styling (far left): a longer hemline looks sophisticated with a lightweight, long-sleeved button-down and statement necklace. Streamline the look by cinching at the waist with a thin belt.
• Aquascutum (middle) gives a perfect example of how to take your wrap skirt into casual-cool territory — instead of tucking in your top, layer the look with a chunky knit and knee-grazing coat, and add a pair of cool leather ankle boots for a pulled-together weekend look.
• Wrap skirts can make for sultry cocktail attire, due in part to the subtly sexy leg opening and asymmetrical hemlines. Give the look a shot of sex appeal with a floaty, low-cut blouse, à la Reed Krakoff (far right) and add strappy heels.
  

This Fall is all about looking cozy and glamorous, so naturally, it's fitting to amp up your accessory artillery as well. We suggest you up the fashion ante with the latest crop of chain bracelets. Not only do they add a classic edge to any ensemble, chain bracelets can easily be styled to evoke any mood you're currently into. From Michael Kors's classic-gold links to Missoni's vibrant, multicolored confections, we have your wrists covered. Check out three cool ways to style your chain bracelets below, and then shop our top 10 picks in the slideshow.

• Stack your link bracelets with a watch and cuff bracelet for a chunky, snap-worthy look.
• Layer a bold, gold-chain cuff over a black long-sleeved top for maximum impact.
• Create contrast by mixing and matching different-colored metals together.

In addition to all the amazing runway shows and presentations that go on during Fashion Week, there are also parties — tons of parties — and you never want to look as if you're trying too hard or even worse, not trying hard enough. Even if you're miles away from Lincoln Center, there is undoubtedly a party in your near future; whether it's a birthday, bachelorette bash, or just an excuse to do some drinking and dancing, the goal is to look chic, effortlessly sexy, and worthy of the spotlight. There are definitely easy ways to channel that coveted sex kitten vibe, but this time we're thinking outside the basic LBD box. We've styled up five stylish party looks that are perfect for your next soiree. Click through to see and shop each one.

Last night was a whirlwind in fashionable parties, literally. From LA to NYC, and across the globe, styled celebs and fashion's biggest fans took to the stores and the streets to celebrate Fashion's Night Out. Here in NYC, we hit the ground from SoHo to Madison Avenue to take in all the action. DJs rocked the stores while the style crowd took the city by storm — we spotted Rachel Zoe posting up at Bloomingdale's, Diane von Furstenberg hanging with Anna Wintour, and Nicky Hilton browsing the goodies in SoHo. Of course, as fashion gatherings go, this is one of the biggest — so there's lots more in store. See who and where the fashion crowd gathered to celebrate the night.

Thanks in part to the stunning Fall collections from Lulu Frost, Eddie Borgo, Kelly Wearstler, and more, we're feeling charmed and dangerous. The revival of sculptural glamour and natural materials has us smitten, and seeing old favorites like ribbon necklaces and two-finger rings is beyond exciting (personally, I'm still waiting on slap bracelets to make a comeback). There are so many new pretty pieces out there that it may actually make your head spin — which is why we've selected 20 of the best baubles to bring your Fall outfits into glam territory. Before you click through to see and shop our editors' picks, keep these tips in mind:

• Bigger is better and actually lets you get away with less. Wearing one giant cuff bracelet or sticking to just a statement necklace packs a punch.
• Don't be afraid to mix your metals. There's no law that says you have to wear gold with gold or silver with silver. A pewter cuff thrown into the mix with thin gold bangles looks fresh and modern.
• You're already layering your clothes, so why not layer your necklaces? Double up on a long chain, or pile on multiple chest-grazing pieces to create your own cool, unique look.

Leave it to Sassoon Salon (formerly known as Vidal Sassoon Salon) to come up with a way to add a modern edge to its impressive lineup of classically chic hairstyles. For its 2011 Autumn/Winter collection, stylists were influenced by Stella McCartney's clothing line and art by Dan Flavin. Think: sharp, well-defined edges and bursts bold color. Blue isn't just plain old blue; it's rich, vibrant royal blue. And green becomes the richest emerald tone you can imagine. Be sure to check out the geometric, colorful styles now.

As far as wardrobes go, Jessica Alba's ranks pretty high on the list of those we'd like to steal. Particularly for Fall, we've been eying Jess's street-styled looks, as we draw inspiration from our favorite celebs. With a knack for nailing the on-trend, Jessica manages to meld both the feminine and the borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic for effortless appeal on and off the red carpet. We've fallen both for her uniform of skinny denim, ankle boots, and knit layers, as well as the polished-cool vibe she's mastered in printed dresses and menswear. As it stands, this is one killer wardrobe to replicate for Fall. Just click on to see how she does it and how you can do the same this season.

Changing up your top may be the easiest way to ready a day look for night or amp up the impact of your casual weekend attire.

With our favorite Fall trends in mind, we scoured the market for this season's best toppers that touch on all this season's trends from leopard to polka dots, fits that flatter all body types, and prices that work for every budget.
