1. When in doubt, wear black. "Most of the time, I dress depending on my mood," Kate says. "I just throw on whatever I feel like wearing at the time, which tends to come from the palette of black, grey or red. If I'm having an off day, I'll wear full black." It's a formula I've long stuck with myself, because it always looks put together, makes you feel your sveltest, and requires very little thought!

It'll give the appearance of a flowing skirt, but you don't need to buy another piece to make it work. Plus if you stick with all dark neutrals (a black sweater, ankle boots, and leather jacket, if it's chilly), you can get a bit more adventurous with your print.

The look hasn't exactly gone mainstream yet, but apparently enough men are interested in svelte-ifying and staying warm that demand has increased, and hosiery specialist Emilio Cavallini tells WWD that his recently-launched just for dudes line is doing pretty well. "A growing number of men have been buying tights at emiliocavallini.com since a unisex collection was introduced in June 2009, said Cavallini.

As obsessed as I am with bags, I know I'm not alone. Most of my girlfriend are either purse or shoe girls (or both!) and working at Glamour, I'm definitely surrounded by a fair share of bag aficionados.

Remember this scene from The Matrix? Neo gets attacked after becoming totally distracted by a woman in a scarlet dress on the street, and it turns out, he's not the only one whose mind turns to naughty thoughts when he sees red.
