5 Long-Lasting MUST-haves for Fall
user
Fashion trends are tricky.
Some trends stick around for years, decades and even centuries
(take the Little Black Dress, for example, brought to us by Coco
Chanel in the ’20s). Most trends, though, simply fade away, which
oftentimes is a blessing in disguise (hasta luego 1970s hot pants,
1980s shoulder pads and 1990s fanny packs). So how can you tell
what popular style will stick around for a while? We enlisted the
help of wOw’s beauty guru, Manhattan-based stylist Paul Podlucky,
to share with us the five classic items for fall — that are also
guaranteed to see the light of day for many years to come … If some
of these price tags are above your budget, it’s easy to find a
similar piece at your nearest mall, vintage shop, outlet store or
online discount store. And what’s Paul’s secret to spotting the
looks that last? Follow this mantra: “Keep it simple. Less is
more.”

jacket A leather biker coat doesn't have to be in
black either. Leather coats come in a variety of colors, and the
coveted shades for fall include gray, brown, khaki and olive. To be
classic yet edgy, find a coat that's tapered to the waist with
a broader shoulder. Jackets can also come belted or zippered. Find
the best style for your body type, and the leather coat will last
you forever. Paul's pick: Rick Owens, which offers a variety of
styles and price points.
Tell us: What’s the oldest item in your closet? Do you still wear
it? Is it still in style?
Colorful, chunky necklaces add color to any
outfit, especially on a cold, dreary day. It'll instantly cheer
