STYLE.COM REPORTS: TOP TEN MUST-HAVE ITEMS FOR FALL
NEW YORK (July 28, 2005) – STYLE.COM, the online home of Vogue and W, forecasts the ten statement-making essentials for a winning fall wardrobe.
1. Black trenches
Now that everyone and her sister owns a khaki trench, it's time to invest in a dramatic black one.
2. Fur trims
Fur isn't just for outerwear. It's turning up as a trim on cashmere sweaters, Grace Kelly jackets and military-style coats.
3. Long evening wear
All your entrances (and exits) will be grand in the new formal, floor-grazing dresses.
4. Necklaces
Words like dainty and delicate don't apply to fall's most-wanted necklaces. Oversized and eye-catching are more like it.
5. Platforms
Stow your flats in cold storage. Add inches to your height and style stature with platforms.
6. Puffer jackets
Designers took that streetwise staple, the down parka, uptown this season in leather and sheared mink.
7. Skirt suits
Channel Hitchcock lovely, Kim Novak, in a deceptively demure skirt suit. Gloves, pumps, and top handle purse required.
8. Slouchy sweaters
A must-have topper for fall's super slim, stove pipe pants and ballooning bubble skirt.
9. Tulip skirts
One part pencil skirt, another part dirndl, the tulip's split personality says: "I'm in charge here" and "All I want to do is have some fun."
10. White shirts
High collars, billowing sleeves, bow fronts, and ruffled collars. Fall's white shirts are anything but basic.
