It's all in the details. From a bold topper to flamboyant shoes, accessories are the way to dress up your fall basics into your own smashing style. Start with a hat; what you choose and how you wear it can be one of the hallmarks of your own personal style. A dashing wool fedora? Jaunty cashmere beret? Or perhaps a low-key fisherman's cap?

Better yet, wind two of varied colors and textures. The finishing touch: Pair with a schoolboy cap and swingy A-line mod coat.

From bold accessories to copper and gold tunics, metals were one of the biggest runway trends, which means they're sure to be stocking the aisles of your nearest fine department store. Wear these fabrics sparingly, as a little goes a long way. GET MORE INFOwww.tide.com 04 of 07 Poncho They're back! Easy warmth and a flowing shape make the poncho a perennial favorite. Standard in a crochet yarn, the poncho also looks fabulous in stiff tweeds, bright felted wool, or even a flashy neon sateen for evening. Check the label carefully, but many wools and synthetics can be machine washed on the delicate cycle. Bring on Tide TOTALCAREamp#153;, which will help your clothing keep its distinctive shape and color, and will help prevent pilling, even after 30 washes.

By studs, we mean everything from big bronze balls to sparkly sequins. Wash these items by hand or separately, if in a machine, and use a laundry bag to prevent snagging and stretching. Air dry.

Colored gemstones add an additional wow factor. You can also wear the traditional Claddagh fidelity ring even if you're not Irish, but be sure to wear it with the heart facing outward if you're available!

Platform toe beds are still very much in vogue as we go into cold weather days. But that's just the beginning. Elaborate laces, prints, feathers, jewels or animal prints (and sometimes all of these) on elevated footwear rules the day. GET MORE INFOwww.tide.com
