Richard Chai's sporty chic girl grew up a bit this season, albeit in her slightly rebellious way. The Chai elements — oversized silks, maxi skirts, cozy knits — were layered one over the other to create long proportions and a sort of louche sophistication. What was interesting was the menswear: oversized blazers met slouchy pants, with a sheer blouse in between. Colorwise, Fall was relatively dark, although one appreciates the infusion of lightness — via sparkly beige tops and a lovely floral print — all the more when paired against such serious tones.

If you're looking for a way to add a little drama when you dress it up, you don't have to go to any crazy lengths. Just do like Rumer Willis did and flaunt a little style flair via an asymmetrical hemline. It's not a huge outfit change, just a subtle update that gives a skirt or dress an artsy, avant-garde feel. Keep the rest of your ensemble the same, no major change-ups necessary; the awesome asymmetry speaks for itself.
