What's In & Out for Fall (3)

Out: Harem Pants

We were surprised that this trend was “in” in the first place. “Even a genie couldn’t make anyone with curves look good in harem pants,” says style expert Michael O’Connor. “If you see them run—or fly!”

Opt for a pair of pencil pants for fall instead. They’ll look much better with sweaters anyway.

Back In: 1980s Diva Style

“[This season] is an open call for 1980s diva style—any look that pays tribute to an ‘80s music video,” says Amy Goodman, fashion trend director for Timex and former InStyle editor. “Don’t be afraid to rock a leather skirt, biker jacket or black strappy sandals as you begin to switch out your wardrobe.”

“For those of us who want to play up prints of the past, but are now tired of last season’s floral fantasy, what will be in are those graphic prints in black and white that showcase squares, cubes, lines or plaid,” she adds.

In: Soft Eyes with Dramatic Lips

“This fall, we’re going to see soft, sophisticated eyes balanced by deep and dramatic lip colors,” says Annesley Broadhead, Cargo makeup artist.

“Dramatic lips were seen at Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana in rich shades of deep berry, with an almost black undertone. The finish was either a full lipstick finish, or a subtle stain. To achieve this look at home apply a berry or red gloss and blot well for a stained effect that is straight from the runway, yet still wearable for real life.”

In: Bold Hats

"I am a HUGE fan of the hat,” says Kevin Christiana, former cast member of Project Runway. “I like the sexiness a hat can do for a woman.”

Bold hats are great in the summertime, says the designer, but can also be rocked in the fall in a sleeker version.
