Autumn is full of wonderful things: sweet potato
pancakes, Halloween, football games, tweed.
In honor of the season, resist the urge to wear a
sweatshirt every day and instead throw on some of
these classic pieces. It's not that difficult and every
one will think you're super posh.
SEASON'S KICKS. Uneven bricks and
grassy quads render 5-inch heels use
less. But riding boots combine both
practicality and style. Their durable
construction provides protection
against the elements, while their sim
ple silhouette lends a classic tone to
any outfit. Follow the lead of centuries
of equestrians and tuck pants into the
boots. At the very least, it will hide the
S
L
frayed hems of your old jeans.
Dressage riding boots, $l5B,
* by Urban Outfitters.
FAUX HEIRLOOMS. There
is a reason family members spar over heirloom
jewelry. The necklaces and bracelets of yore are
generally more memorable and delicate than mod
ern pieces. Fortunately the vintage movement has
flooded stores with imitation lockets, pearls and
cameos. To update the look, layer long strands of
pearls with thin chains adorned with charms. Multi-
pendant necklace, sl3, by Target.
THE VESTIGE. Menswear has
been a prominent feature for
women on runways for mul
tiple seasons. And unlike most A
designer fads, it is a style that M
can actually be worn by nor- I
mal people. Vests are a major ■
element of this trend. To most 1
successfully wear a vest, make 1
sure to select a well-tailored I
version that is snug, but not too I
tight. Don't be afraid to explore
unusual fabrics; tweed, hounds
tooth, pinstripes and silk versions
all exist. Striped vest, S2O, by Forever 21.
FROM THE TRENCHES. Worn by spies and clas
sic movie stars, trench coats evoke a mysterious
glamour. Coats available today range from water
resistant to silk and sequined versions. To update
the classic style, choose a coat in a bright color.
You'll stand apart from the crowd and look really
fresh. Belted wool trench in herringbone, $l6B, by
Victoria's Secret.

Unlike high school, college is not a runway. Often
it's difficult to take the time to look casual-cool when
running on four hours of sleep and a latte. We tend to
settle for gym clothes.
But here are some ideas to stay sharp and at least
put on the illusion that you are trying to maintain your
appearance.
LOW-TOPS, HIGH STYLE. Though the generation
before us would frown upon it, low-top sneakers can
be a modern alternative to lace-up dress shoes. Styles
like the Adidas Sambas or Converse Jack Purcells dress
WEATHER. A man's best friend isn't his dog; it's his
favorite sweater V-neck, crewneck, it doesn't mat
ter. The cable-knit sweater, a perennial favorite, is
heavy enough solo to keep you warm on those chilly
walks to class. The chunkier the better, just as long
as it doesn't slouch off the shoulders. Khaki and navy
tones are the most flattering for any skin tone. Cable
knit crewneck sweater, $69.50, byNautica.
REAL MEN WEAR
JEWELRY. Like
women, men too ,
can use accesso
ries to achieve
an original look.
Steer clear of
diamond studs
and silver chains.
Looking like a NBA
forward is not a trend we want to advance.
Jewelry should make an expression without looking
gaudy or flashy. Start with your favorite watch or a
simple leather bracelet and build from there. Leather
bracelet, $lO, by Urban Outfitters.
SLIM PICKINGS. With more men going for tighter
fitted pants these days, few realize how far their wal
lets pooch from their backsides. Your wallet should
not constrict the limited wiggle room in your already
tight jeans. Ditch the receipts and value cards in favor
of the essentials, namely your debit card. Exile your
few spare ones to a cash clip in your front pocket.
Credit card holder, $35, byj. Fold.
BRING BROWN BACK. If anyone ever told you
black goes with everything, he lied. Shoes in a dark
shade of brown are more flattering than black
with virtually every shade of gray, khaki
