What Celebrities and Other Fashionable People Will be Wearing This Fall...and How to Get the Look

If you’re like me and you’re dreaming of cool weather fashions, here’s a sneak peek at what’s hot for the coming season. These are the top trends that came down the runway for fall—and the ones that are showing up on your favorite stylish A-lister. Adopt these looks if they suit you, or mix and match the trends you like—the ones that fit your body and your personality. Get a leg up on shopping now, and, come fall, you’ll look super chic—just like your favorite star.

Leggings: Leggings looked stupid in the 80s and they can look just as unflattering now if you don’t wear them right. Get the look down, though, and modern leggings are fresh; thankfully they’re not paired under jackets with giant shoulder pads, baggy tunics, bad perms and oversize matching plastic earrings. (Men especially hated this look. I don’t really remember men commenting much about women’s fashion, so this trend must have been especially ugly. But I digress.) If you want to wear leggings, make like stylish celebs Jessica Alba and Sienna Miller (who always look cute) and pair black, mid-calf-length leggings with ballet flats and an oversize, belted tunic or minidress. (Key word: belted.) Don’t wear brightly colored or ribbed leggings, and steer clear of shiny ones unless you’re going running. As well, don’t throw a super slouchy tunic on top or you’ll just look sloppy. And, for Pete’s sake, unless you’re Mischa Barton-skinny, don’t wear leggings with a cropped top. Leggings underneath a cute little dress or belted tunic or sweater is the way to go with this trend.
