Fashion this fall has a bit of a vintage feel—with glamour taking center stage. Think sequins and shine, ladylike dresses and suits, nipped and belted waists, and bows and other feminine detailing. It’s about covering up, not showing off, so you’ll find luxe coats, men’s-cut trousers, and buttoned-up tops. Gray is everywhere, paired with vibrant accessories. “It’s about taking the best of each decade and making it new,” says Ken Downing, fashion director at Neiman Marcus. Lots of women will finish off with another fall look: dramatic red lips.
