how to wear

If you're looking for a new way to wear your old staples, here's a real gem: one of our favorite new everyday combinations (as seen here in Fallon's Fall '11 campaign) is a pretty silk blouse adorned with a statement necklace — it's fresh, modern, and totally ladylike, and can be worn with jeans and skirts alike. We've put together five especially delicious pairings, perfect for the office, date night, and the holiday parties you still have left to attend. Wear a jeweled collar necklace over your collar for a preppy-glam spin or let a beaded bauble hang from your unbuttoned blouse for an airy, effortless take. Ready to work it?

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look — no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath. The sleek silhouette calls to mind fashion icons like Jackie O., Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (who can forget her trench coat flapping in the breeze?). We've seen lots of cool spins on the timeless trench this season, from Burberry's leather sleeves and acid-bright hues to Diane von Furstenberg's cropped, nylon iterations — and the best thing about the style is that it comes in multiseasonal fabrications and colors, making it an appropriate choice for any occasion. We've taken one definitively classic Burberry London Marystow Gabardine Trench ($1,095) and styled it five different ways — for work, play, and everything in between.

No matter your budget or body type, every gal needs a great pair of pants.

We've styled five popular pant silhouettes for day and night, showing just how seamlessly you can take your look from the boardroom to the bar. Click through to see and shop them now!

We all know about the sweeping superstition regarding white clothing and whether or not you should wear it after Labor Day — but truth be told, we at Fab are not of that philosophy. No matter the week, month, or season, white can be a fresh, super-chic component to your look, and nothing says seasonal polish like a crisp white blazer. Just see Jessica Alba for a recent celebrity example: she ignored the rule completely by layering her all-black evening ensemble with a clean white coat and put a new spin on a classic look. All you need to focus on is warming it up with chunky knits, deep colors, and sleek patterns. We plucked this Elizabeth and James Emery blazer ($395) from Summer-style obscurity and styled it up five killer ways to prove that white not only can but should be worn come Fall.

Out of all the shirt styles to develop a crush on this season, we of course had to fall for the one that presents the biggest fashion conundrum — the boxy top. Designers like Rebecca Taylor, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jill Stuart showed them on the Spring runways, and our love affair began. They may seem a bit tricky to wear at first, but we've come up with a few easy, super-chic ways to blend this piece in seamlessly with the rest of your wardrobe.
