Summer trend: High-waisted skirts and waist belts
Because they flatter most body types and help slim (or create the illusion of) a narrow waist, belts are a great way to accentuate this potentially problematic area.
How to wear it for fall: "I'd wear the skirt and belt with a really great turtleneck or button-down collared shirt paired with either a boot or a stacked heel," says Fiorucci. The key? Increasing the sophistication factor with textured fabrics and looking for a shape-flattering fit.
Summer trend: The skinny pant
A longtime favourite of the slim-legged, they have the potential to work for most body shapes –- as long as they're proportioned to your body.
How to wear it for fall: "Skinny pants can be tricky to pull off," says Fiorucci, "but they're quite flattering if you find the right fit." Her suggestion for first-time skinny wearers: start with a straight-leg pant. "They're a great option because they give the slim look without you having to commit to the real thing. And if you like and feel comfortable in them, you can always go for the real thing."
The bottom line
Don't put seasonal limitations on your wardrobe. The best way to get your money's worth on any piece is to make use of it, so look for staples that can work interchangeably as the temperature rises and drops.
