The Who, What and Wear

Let the invitations roll in! Here’s the chicest trends cover every occasion on your social calendar.

  Trendy at the Theater Enrich yourself with a night at the theater, but take center stage when you show up in this fall’s ladylike accessories. Accentuate your waistline, but put away last season’s wide belts: the trend is toward skinny belts and their flattering effects. And what’s more ladylike than fur? Look classy in a full-length fur coat, a short fur short jacket, or fur-trimmed hood, cuffs or hems.

Cool at a Concert The music must go on! So while you’re out rockin’ with your favorite bands, be casually chic and let the music move to the beat of your style. But look to the latest trend: style inspired by early-twentieth-century Russia, like Vera Wang’s fall line. Let your style come alive in a military jacket, sturdy boots, medallions, and a bright and bold babushka.

Fashionable for Fine Wine While satisfying your sophisticated palate for wine, take the opportunity to share your fashion tastes with others. Dress to impress in sequined dresses, tunics and jackets. Shine and dazzle like the fashionista you are. Tights continue to be a must-have accessory this season. Not only do opaque tights and patterned hoses look chic and trendy, they also keep those fashionista legs superwarm!

All the Rage at a Restaurant Premiere Need a dress for the grand opening of a highly anticipated restaurant? Don’t fret. RETREAT knows exactly what you need to draw rave reviews. Who said zippers were casual? This season’s dresses are designed to be slipped on easily, with designers such as Derek Lam, Behnaz Sarafpour and Carlos Miele making attention-seeking zippers the focal point of their frocks. And dressed like that, you’ll be the best thing on the menu—well, next to the crème brûlée.
