How to look chic for Fall: Styling tips from Rachel Zoe

If there is one person you want styling tips from for the new Fall season, it’s without a doubt celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. She’s dressed Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore and Anne Hathaway, and this season she has debuted the new Rachel Zoe Collection. LadyLUX has Rachel's favorite styling tips, just for you. Be sure to try out all of Rachel’s must-haves and must-do’s for this season!

Winter white is a must. Forget about the “no white after Labor Day” rule – that’s old news! Think about white as the new black and try an all-white look. Consider the white tuxedo for a fabulous monochromatic white option. It looks expensive, plus is stylish and timeless.

Sequins aren’t just for nighttime – wear them for daytime too! Sparkling sequins bring glamour to any outfit. Try the exclusive Neiman Marcus Dolman blouse in white and gold sequins or be unexpected in a midnight-blue sequin dress.

Extend your wardrobe by mixing and matching pieces. The Rachel Zoe collection was designed to be mixed and matched. The military jacket and plaid jacket can be worn with the accompanying matching pants or dressed down with jeans and a tank top. The tie-neck blouse works with any look: jeans, skirts and trousers with or without a blazer. Just make the look your own!

Faux fur is worn for glamour, not warmth. A faux fur vest looks luxe worn with skinny jeans, and it’s perfect for day or night. Think of faux fur as a yearlong trend and wear it until the June gloom ends! Every wardrobe needs a bit of fur – so major!

Black and white never gets old. It’s very elegant and just works in any shape or form. The one-shoulder white dress with black velvet trim is simple but classy. Anyone from moms to daughters can wear it around town. Black trim looks striking against white – for example, the beaded cardigan.

Ensemble dressing is back! Be obsessed with suits this season and match your jacket with your pants or skirts. Suits in menswear materials look sharp. The Prince of Wales plaid suit, powerful yet feminine, channels the Charlie Girl of the ‘70s. Dressing up is the new cool.

Prints are important for every wardrobe and can be worn summer through winter. Think about leopard as a neutral. The leopard dress and the peacock print dress are the definition of effortless glamour. Wear dresses from day to night. Print dresses can go from a daytime-hanging-poolside-in-flat-sandals-and-a-floppy-hat look to a nighttime ensemble with heels, a motorcycle jacket and an oversize clutch.

Show off your legs with a pair of shorts. Shorts are perfect for the transitional season. Wear the tuxedo shorts with the tie-neck blouse, tights and ankle booties for an edgy Fall look.

Capes and plaid coats are instant chic. For the most effortlessly cool look without any effort, throw on a cape or plaid coat with motorcycle leggings, a long T-shirt and thigh-high boots. Wear the plaid shawl collar coat buttoned-up and belted or open, and play with the collar for a more dramatic feel.

Toughen up dresses with ankle boots. Long chiffon, mod or Parisian short dresses look less girly with a pair of sexy ankle boots. Ankle boots also go with any outfit – don’t be shy about rocking the 5-inch heels! Wear sky-high ankle boots day and night.

There is nothing more glam than a tuxedo jumpsuit. A tuxedo jumpsuit is a showstopper. All you need are smoky eyes, bordeaux lips and a pair of platforms.
