Animal Prints

Animal prints are the must-have accent for your 2007 wardrobe. Sexy and sophisticated, these bold prints add a major punch to the basics you already own. Wear your prints wisely. If you’re donning a statement piece, like a cheetah print coat, keep the rest of your look simple and solid. If you opt for accessories, choose only one type of print per outfit — it’s best to avoid mixing and matching. Leopard pumps, boots and flats are perfect when paired with jeans and a chic black knit, and Zebra prints look great with anything red or black. For a super luxe look, try an oversized animal print bag.

Mad for Plaid
Whether it’s Tartan, Blackwatch or Glen, plaid is all the rage this year. Why not add some traditional Scottish flair to your look? A classic white button-down tucked into a bold plaid pencil skirt is simple and fashionable. A pair of plaid boots or flats teamed with your favorite jeans and a fitted, girly jacket is preppy and chic. Or start small with a plaid handbag or scarf for a pop of punky British style. No matter how you wear it, this trend is sure to get you noticed.

It’s a Cinch
Women have coveted the hourglass figure for centuries. Now it’s a cinch to create those classic curves — no matter how you’re shaped — with a wide belt. Belts are the most important accessories and they’re a simple and inexpensive way to look fashionable and curvy at the same time. Try wearing a wide belt just under the bust, which is the smallest part of the torso. It acts like an old-fashioned waist cincher or corset and creates an hourglass curve with any figure. A wider belt worn lower at the waist holds the tummy in and instantly updates your look. Belts can work magic on a dress, a knit or cinched over a simple T-shirt.

To Boot
Boots add a sexy urban edge to any outfit and there’s a style out there for everyone. Ankle boots or “booties” put a mod spin on your dresses and skirts. A skinny jean tucked into an over-the-knee boot is trendy and chic, while traditional knee-high boots run the gamut, under jeans, dresses and skirts. For a casual daytime look, try a distressed vintage inspired boot or a fold-over pirate style.

Platform Heels — Get Stacked
The stiletto heel is a thing of the past and platforms reign supreme. This is great news for those of you who love super high heels without the pain. Platforms evoke a vintage ’40s feeling and provide lots of balance and support. Try some in patent leather — they’re naughty and nice.
