The Fall 2014 fashion trend guide

The A-Line silhouette—named thus for its A shaped flare—is flattering for all body types (rejoice!) and can be worn with bare legs and tights to equal effect.

Yvette Dress, Diane Von Furstenberg $465

Mini Dress, Paul & Joe $705

Arden Dress, Tibi $375

More is more in the knitwear department, with chunky sweater fabrics meant to be worn from head-to-toe in muted shades. Whether you opt for a sweater dress, cape scarf, knit leggings or just a traditional pullover, cozy is the name of the game.

Knit Sweater Dress, Acne $480

Nina Knit Sweatpant, Isabel Marant Etoile $345

Asymmetric Wool-Blend Sweater, Stella McCartney $850

Heathered Knit Leggings, Free People $38

Wool and Cashmere Blend Knit Dress, McQ Alexander McQueen $456

Top your fall ensembles with a boxy jacket. This season's version comes with '70s inflections, be it substantial breast pockets, shearling touches or a flattened collar.

Ice Blue Shearling Jacket, 3.1 Phillip Lim $2900

Wool Crepe Jacket, Carven $790

Cropped Jacket, Pinko $591

Move aside, summery florals, its time for punchier, wackier prints to take center stage. Geometrics, swirls and multicolored digital mashups vow to keep somber weather feeling decidedly upbeat.

Printed Silk and Wool Pencil Skirt, Jonathan Saunders $1010

Knit Sweater, H&M $60

Printed Drawstring Dress, Warehouse $62

Swirl Print Skirt, Lela Rose $995

Jungle Printed Blazer, Marc by Marc Jacobs $607

Switch your trusty blazer for one of these sharply tailored long vests. Perfect over dresses or trousers, buttoned up or belted, you can even layer one under your winter coat. It's so smart even your boss will take notice.

Sleeveless Vest, Choies $31

Celia Long Vest, Marissa Webb $685

Wimbley Vest, Calvin Klein Collection $2175

Erosion Wool Vest, Helmut Lang $470

Long Tailored Vest in Gray, Intermix $475

When you aren't wearing knit trousers (which will be rare) you should be sauntering around in a pair of louche, widelegged slouchy pants. Pair them with an equally roomy sweater, or highlight your waist by tucking in a filmy blouse. Either way, you'll look effortless alongside the skinny jean crowd.

Wide Printed Pants, Zara $60

Eric Front Pleat Pant, Alice & Olivia $275

Crepe Flared Trouser , French Connection $168

Wide Leg Pants, Armani Collezioni $685

White Wide Leg Pants, H&M $35

Give your crop tops and abs a rest, legs are the new erogenous zone. Higlight yours with a bold slit skirt or dress.

Asymmetric Leather Skirt, Theyskens' Theory $889

Wool Blend Tailored Skirt, Marc Jacobs $1128

Side Split Skirt, Intermix $265
