Florals- Florals for fall? Strangely, yes. The usual spring/summer staple has carried on into fall. The fall florals are more muted and dark than previous seasons. Such as at Derek Lam and Erin Fetherson, fall florals should be paired with dark tights and a jacket to keep from looking too summery. Since you probably do not have $1000 to spend on a designer dress, Forever 21's Jasmine Floral Strapless Dress is a cheaper alternative.

Plaid- The grunge favorite has made a comeback. Everything from plaid shirts to hats and bags were shown on the fall runways. The look is more British countryside than Kurt Cobain, though. The Fall 2008 Ralph Lauren runway showed plaid shirts and jackets paired with black pencil skirts and pants. Urban Outfitters offers several options for under $60, such as the BDG Fitted Buffalo Plaid Tunic. Local thrift stores have an array of plaid shirts for less than $10.

Bohemian- The boho trend has been a continuing for several seasons and is here to stay this fall. The Gucci runway outfitted models in fringe boots, flowy blouses and layered chain jewelry. Channel Kate Hudson in Almost Famous. Try Nine West's Dakota Large Fringe Tote or Steve Madden's Arizonaa Boots for a subtle take on the trend.

Black- Maybe it is the recession or the colder weather, but several runways embraced the all black look. This fall black is more vixen and less gothic. Prada went ladylike with lacy black dresses and sheer black blouses paired with skinny black pants. If you are not ready to foray into all black, look at the Ralph Lauren runway for inspiration, which showcased all black with colorful scarves and jackets. The Rayna Lace Top from Delias and the Silence and Noise Ruffle Tieback Dress from Urban Outfitters are cheaper options.

Hats- Hats are the accessory for fall, which comes in handy for the chilly winds in Knoxville. Marc by Marc Jacobs sent models down the runway in slouchy beanies, which added an urban appeal to the ladylike ensembles. Fedoras, berets, and beanies can be found everywhere from your local drugstore to the mall, so the trend is easily accessible for everyone. Forever 21 offers several hat options for $10 or less.

Layering- The layering trend is a no-brainer for the fall months, but many people do not know how to properly do it. The key to layering is piling light layers under a thick layer, which will prevent bulkiness.  Alexander Wang beautifully executed layering by pairing tights with a skirt, layered tanks, a vest, a jacket, a scarf and a hat. A good coat, warm scarf, and thick tights are an absolute must for fall.
