Source: Tap Into My So-Called Life's Grunge Appeal For a Funkier Fall Refresh

It's not our fault we can still recall with remarkable clarity the angst, awesomeness, and all-out grunge sensibility of cult show My So-Called Life - we blame it on its lead stars Claire Danes and Jordan Catalano, er, Jared Leto. And while the series only lasted for one epic season, its short-lived run continues to inspire our styling whimsy by way of its spot-on encapsulation of early '90s fashion. We're talking serious Kurt Cobain flannel, punk-inspired Doc Martens and Converse, vintage floral prints, and a whole lot of retro denim looks. On any given episode, you'd be guaranteed to spot Danes's character Angela Chase in a cool mix of layered patterns, jean overalls, and a knitted vest. It may not be an ensemble worth emulating to a T, but listen: the styling cues found within are perfect for a funkier Fall wardrobe refresh.

Recently, I've had several people ask me, "Are these pants too bright?" and "Can I wear my white jeans after Labor Day?" These questions are based on customs that've been around forever but are quickly becoming outdated. Here are 3 rules you can now break without worrying about the fashion police.

1. You can't wear denim with denim. As a child of the 80's I couldn't be more excited that denim jackets and shirts are back in style. With the variety of cheerful colored jeans that are now available it's easy to mix and match denim, topping, for example, a pair of tangerine orange jeans with a cobalt blue jacket. If you want to be really daring, double up on the blue denim but be sure to wear two different color washes so you don't wind up looking like you're wearing a very uncool denim suit.

Here is the perfect parka for the long, dark, and lonely days of winter. "Everybody needs love, don't they?" asks emerging menswear designer Si Chan on his blog. Chan says he designed his eccentric kelly green puffer jacket, which features a row of clasped hands running up the front, to make the wearer feel "warm and hugged."

While Chan, who recently graduated with top honors from London's College of Fashion, purposely exaggerated the padding to resemble a kid's stuffed toy in order to emphasize the warm and fuzzy vibe of the jacket, there's also something a little creepy about it and some of the other touchy-feely items in his collection of six outfits. The grabbing hands conjure up straight jacket from a future planet or tree branches-turned-arms from a child's nightmare.
