Fall Fashion Trends 2008

WHY TRY THEM We’ve become so conditioned to flat-front pants, that the idea of “pleats” almost seems sacrilegious. But these trousers, worn low on the waist and wide in the legs, say slouchy elegance—not pouchy midsection.

MORE TIPS
1. Heels make them more feminine.
2. Gloves, chains and a frame bag counter the menswear vibe.

Runway look: Jason Wu
Pleated pant: Wool fleece-nylon-elastane, Sisley, $89; 800-535-4491.
