Working multiple trends can make you look like a fashion victim. Go for one at a time: a leather jacket in an off beat shade like gray paired with something classic, or a bold print on a simple shape.

Temper soft with hard when it comes to shape, color and texture. Balance a slip dress with a boxy jacket or a buckle belt. Play pastels against cool neutrals. And anchor those pearls on a tough black cuff.
