Skirts
Don't try to skirt the issue: From mid-calf to ankle-grazing, this timeless, hip-hugging staple was all over the colelctions, showing off it's assests.

Style tip
Mid-calf-length skirts can be tricky, so opt for a pair of high-heeled boots to help lengthen those legs.

CoatsNo-fuss tailoring in a quiet classicism of mannish styles -- enveloping, double-breasted, daddy versions -- turned up one winter's must-have list. Fashion's surprise? The sleeveles coat.

Style tip
To get the most bang for your buck, choose a classic-cut, tailored coat that you can wear for several seasons.

PantsSexy chic! That's the message this season in pants: Body-conscious, slim, jean-cut styles create a sleek, razor-sharp shape.

Style tip
Ankle-cropped slim pants can give the illusion of shorter legs, so remember to add skyscraping high heels.

Blouses
The feminine blouse returns with a demure, coquettish flair, focusing around the neck area with ruffles, bows and frills.

Style tip
Prim, Victorian-style blouses look best with straight-leg trousers or jeans to avoid that old, stuffy look.
