Style Trends for Fall 2009

These must-haves will get you through the season in style!

Christian Siriano for Payless

Get to the nearest Payless immediately to snatch up this Project Runway winner's line of shoes, ranging from $25 to $50! They're coming to a store near you in late August.

Matte

Ditch the shiny top coat and add some drama to your digits with rich, matte nail color this fall. Navy blue, anyone?

Cashmere

A casual style staple gets an unexpectedly luxurious update when it's made of crazy-soft cashmere.

Belts

Pulling a look together is a cinch with the season's most essential accessory. Wear one over sweaters and trenches for added polish.

Honey

Grab dresses, boots, accessories, and especially jackets in this sweet shade of tan, or create a honey-coated smoky eye with shimmery shades of gold eyeshadow.

Bold Shoulders

Designers took fashion to new heights when it came to shoulder silhouettes for Fall, from exaggerated puffs to perfectly pointed peaks.

Hosiery

Black tights are an absolute must this time of year, but dare to wear patterns, colors, and even lace with rhinestones!

Full

Fall is usually the season for body-conscious pencil skirts, but many designers favored a silhouette with more dimension for ’09.

Project Runway

Check out Season 6 of Heidi, Tim, and a fresh crop of emerging talent―filmed right here at FIDM's gorgeous Los Angeles campus!

Choose studs, zippers, grommets, metal spikes, and even safety pins, all mixed with leather, lace, and floral prints to give any look a bit of ’80s edge this fall.
