Six Essential Pieces for Fall

    A KNOCK OUT NECKLACE
    Sometimes it's not so much about the outfit but the way you highlight it. A killer neck piece is a good way to jazz up an ensemble that needs inspiration. It will always be a conversation starter as well!

    THE PERFECT RED DRESS
    The fall collections - typically dark and austere - were populated with punches of color. Prada, Lanvin, and Dries van Noten eschewed the omnipresent neon shades for passionate reds.

    Moschino red, pleated, v-neck dress, $989, available at Moschino NYC, (212) 639-9600

    THE MEN'S TROUSER
    You can't go wrong with a classic pair of black pants. This season, plenty of menswear-inspired trousers rollicked along the runways so don't be afraid go for styles with a baggier fit.


    Reiss slim leg trousers in black, $140, available at Reiss, Bleeker Street, NYC, (212) 488-2411 & www.reiss.co.uk.

    A SWEET SKIRT
    In addition to a hearty trouser, the skirt is also a pivotal piece this season. With a cute cardigan and the right pair of boots, the look can take you from the office to out on the town. This draped silk pencil skirt is a fun variation on the original.

    Adam black, silk skirt with elastic waistband, $295, available at ADAM 678 Hudson Street, (212) 229-2838.

    TALL BLACK BOOTS
    Highflautin fashionistas will gravitate towards the over-the-knee boot this season, but let's be realistic, that's not for everyone. In lieu of a thigh-skimmer, opt for a classic number that you'll be able to wear with almost any ensemble.

    Nine West "Zelipe" boots, $179, available at www.ninewest.com.
