This Outfit Is Just Another Reason Why We Love Chloë Moretz

She has talent and style well beyond her 15 years, that much we already knew about the ever-adorable Chloë Moretz.

She has talent and style well beyond her 15 years, that much we already knew about the ever-adorable Chloë Moretz. Her latest look for NYC's Comic Con is only further proof of her sharp fashion instincts as she expertly balanced a mix of trends and textures in one polished Antonio Berardi ensemble. Just what makes it work so well? Read on for the styling know-how and our editors' shopping picks.

  • Chloë juxtaposed an on-trend, perforated jacket against a classic white button-down. Her button-down is a perfect anchor for the more eye-catching fabrics and accents on both her jacket and her skirt.
  • Her miniskirt works with the mix, because while it's a bright, light hue, the textural metallic jacquard speaks this season's trends. We also love that the deep shade of her jacket helps to ground the more whimsical shade of pretty blue on her skirt.
  • Lastly, we can't talk about Chloë's outfit without talking about her statement shoes. While the heels are fun, they're not too over the top, thanks to a black and white palette that keeps them in the same color family as the rest of the look — they're just the right pop of print.

Our Perfect Saturday Outfit: Karolina Kurkova

Because there's nothing worse than running into someone you know when you're sporting your I-just-rolled-out-of-bed sweatpants, we firmly believe that your off-duty ensembles should look just as cool as anything you'd pull together on a weekday.

Because there's nothing worse than running into someone you know when you're sporting your I-just-rolled-out-of-bed sweatpants, we firmly believe that your off-duty ensembles should look just as cool as anything you'd pull together on a weekday. With that in mind, Karolina Kurkova provided some worthy end-of-the-week inspiration to put to good use all weekend long. In a perfect mix of trendier Fall staples, like a great pair of coated red skinnies and lace-up field boots, and essentials, like a go-to black knit, Karolina managed to achieve that vibe we're always seeking: effortlessly attired and still totally on point. Swap out your college sweats and faded jeans for a weekend ensemble that's actually just as easy to throw on but infinitely more appealing with a little Karolina-inspired shopping right here.

These Pieces Make It Easy to Channel the Far East (No Travel Required)

Rich brocades and embroidery, architectural, minimalist cuts, and mandarin collars all pointed to something beautifully Asian-inspired on the Fall '12 runways.
Eastern Asian Fashion Trend | Fall 2012

Rich brocades and embroidery, architectural, minimalist cuts, and mandarin collars all pointed to something beautifully Asian-inspired on the Fall '12 runways. Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, Rag & Bone, and more all offered up trips to the Far East that don't require a plane ticket, just a little styling whimsy. Whether with more literal nods to their Eastern influences in kimono-style silhouettes and bold prints from the likes of Dries Van Noten, or in tributes paid more subtly with Rag & Bone's wrap-style skirts and dresses, these collections offer a pretty brilliant jumping-off point. Now we're seeking out the same ornate jacquard, beautiful blossom prints, and sleek mandarin-collared dresses and jackets to channel Fall's homage to Asia.

Kate Bosworth Gives Us Spring Styling Fodder to Use Right Now

We inevitably fall into rules and predictable patterns with the arrival of Fall and Winter — dark colors, heavy fabrics.

We inevitably fall into rules and predictable patterns with the arrival of Fall and Winter — dark colors, heavy fabrics. Some is seasonal necessity, but you can rework the dress code to allow for pretty pops of print and a crisp, clean palette. Kate Bosworth's latest is a lesson in working that angle to the fullest, stepping out for an appearance in Sydney in Preen's modern floral-print blouse and coordinating pencil skirt with a sexy sheer inset. Right down to her Casadei pumps, Kate worked the fresh, Spring-ready look, but we'll give you some tips on making the ensemble work for right now.

  • If you're lucky enough to live in a warmer climate all year long, there's really no need to tweak the combo. If you aren't, look to a cool, fitted blazer to top it off, while still keeping it sleek.
  • If the chill is really starting to set in, there are other ways to warm up the look. Add a (faux) fur-lined anorak to the mix and swap out your pumps for ankle boots.
  • You can get away with florals and whites all year long, but if the look seems to scream Spring, mix and match a floral blouse like Kate's with cozy Fall trousers or add a slouchy sweater to your crisp pencil skirt. The important thing to remember is that opposites do attract — outfits look infinitely more interesting when you play with textures, prints, and colors.

Here's How to Borrow From the Boys — the Right Way

There's nothing quite as satisfying as pulling on a boyfriend sweater (whether it's actually your boyfriend's or an oversize treasure you've somehow inherited over the course of your lifetime) on a cold autumnal morning.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as pulling on a boyfriend sweater (whether it's actually your boyfriend's or an oversize treasure you've somehow inherited over the course of your lifetime) on a cold autumnal morning.

A Perfect, No-Frills Outfit For Fall Deserves Extra Attention

A great outfit deserves acknowledgement — and in this case, some copycat behavior, too.

A great outfit deserves acknowledgement — and in this case, some copycat behavior, too. After all, it is the highest form of flattery. Let's see, it's got the perfect mix of Fall elements, all without ever going overboard. And, like our street-style subject, we pretty much live in our blouse-and-jeans combos come cold weather. Thus, it's all about honing in on those key punch-up pieces to give an ensemble its flair. Case in point: her velvet burgundy-hued blazer not only provides a luxe textural finish, it just happens to showcase this season's most wanted shade of red. Along with her staple add-ons (read: aviator sunglasses, a slouchy black scarf, and a classic black tote), she tied the look together with a cool, studded flat twist. Subtle at first glance, but certainly dynamic upon closer review — we'll never say "no" to a look with classic appeal, seasonal relativity, and a really amazing blazer to boot. Click on to shop her outfit now, with every piece under $120.

Fall Mood: To Russia With Love

Russia is having a moment.

Russia is having a moment. Thanks to Keira Knightley's latest film incarnation as Anna Karenina and real-life Russian fashion darling, Miroslava Duma's latest Fashion Week looks, we can't seem to shake the visions of each of these beauties, decked out in decadent furs, rich fabrications, and enviable jeweled add-ons. That's what our Fall fantasies are made of, as of late. Fortunately, dreams become reality when you couple inspirations with this season's actual shopping options: baroque themes that we saw on the runways at Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Balmain now manifesting as a pair of opulent gold trousers or a pair of studded ankle-straps. These finds make channeling that high-society drama with Miroslava's street-styled twist all the more attainable.
