camel

Jennifer Lopez never shies away from going glam. So, it's no surprise to see her stealing the show behind the judges' table on American Idol. It's a look that nails the on-trend — and one of our favorite color duos! — without trying too hard. Just pair a fitted camel shift with a pair of fabulous, leopard-print heels ($395), like Lopez's Brian Atwood booties. Surprisingly low-maintenance, right? Now add a little sparkle with a cocktail ring, or two, and a pair of jeweled chandelier earrings ($180) for a polished look that doesn't take a lot to pull off.

Erin Wasson's Elle Spain spread was amazing, but there was one shot in particular that caught my attention. You're looking at it — the denim shirt lends kick-back cool to the full camel skirt, while the ladylike pumps add a dose of sweet. Now it's time for us to re-create this look with our personal styles in mind. If a full skirt is too dramatic for you, opt for a mini version ($70). Then throw on a denim shirt — and variation of color works — a pair of pointy pumps, and you're ready for your closeup!

In case you haven't noticed, we're a little color combo crazy here at Fab. Our latest obsession? Kate Moss's camel and gray pairing in London recently. What makes this mix so special is that the camel lends maximum chicness, while the gray brings it back down to earth. Some glam, some cool — all fabulous!

Thanks in part to Phoebe Philo at Celine and Hannah MacGibbon at Chloe, tan plays a prevalent role in this Fall's wardrobe staples. Wear it head-to-toe for a modern monochromatic palette, as in Zara's September lookbook, above left, or style one statement piece — like the Isabel Marant leather biker jacket seen above — with bright red accompaniments for maximum pop.
