Fall 2008 Fashion DO: Bow Scarves
Silk and gauze scarves appeared on the fashion runways of New York Fashion Week, and are the perfect match for that simple suit or even dressing up a plain dress for the night. Just tie a scarf into a bow and let it hang loosely around your neck for a fresh take on neckwear.

It’s not the year to sport those high-waisted skinny jeans, so leave them in the back of the closet to make way for wider widths and flared styles this season.

Oversized cardigans worn over a short dress or on top of a super-tight miniskirt are a leading fashion trend for Fall 2008, so be prepared to pull those chunky knits out of the closet.
Fall 2008 Fashion DON’T: Asian-Inspired Shirts
Kimono shirts and Japanese-inspired dresses were a leading fashion trend in 2007, but this year calls for Oriental prints on shirts and dresses instead.

The one-shoulder dress or gown is back for another season, but this year calls for Old Hollywood-inspired looks with plenty of ruffles, frills and lace accents.
