the coolest color combos from nyfw

All too often the fall runways consist of somber color palettes, which is why I am so happy to see bursts of color at places like DKNY, Karen Walker and ICB. Whether you try the same combinations on a smaller scale (think gloves and a scarf) or fully embrace the power of the color wheel with a head-to-toe Crayola ensemble, here are the hot new pairings to steal from the runway.

Blue & Mauve: Karen Walker

Melon & Rose: Narciso Rodriguez

Kelly Green & Sky Blue: Delpozo

Slate & Traffic-Cone Orange: ICB

Blush & Beige: Protagonist

Red & Teal: DKNY

Purple & Emerald: J. Crew

Grey & Hot Pink: Banana Republic

Shop the Trend: '70s Finds Under $200

Ever feel like your best fashion finds happen on off-duty days? I firmly believe that a good night’s sleep and meeting-free afternoon will do wonders in getting a girl to step outside of her comfort zone and try a new trend. My shopping challenge for you this weekend: pick up something that feels thoroughly ’70s and mix it into your wardrobe of modern pieces for a cool, mid-winter upgrade. Whether you’re a flared denim person or prefer to express yourself through accessories (hel-lo, fringe bucket bag), I guarantee there’s something for you on shelves right now. After all, the 1970s were one of spring 2015’s biggest runway trends. Here, few stylish options under $200 to get the creative juices flowing.

Riviera 65mm Sunglasses, Wildfox $179

Fitted Jacket, H&M $80

Flared Flare Jeans, Mango $80

Stripe Short-Sleeve Sweater, J. Crew $98

Leather bucket Bag, Zara $159

Long Jersey Dress, H&M $50

Zonian Faux Suede Boots, Guess $159

Daisy Print Shirt Dress, Topshop $105

You can wear leggings and still look polished

Leggings are arguably the most comfortable pant option there is, but contrary to popular belief they don’t also have to be a sign you’ve given up on fashion. Believe it or not, the cold-weather staple can be worn in a variety of fabulous ways. Team leggings with statement coats, cozy layers and bold accessories, and the outcome can be surprisingly put-together (and unsurprisingly comfy). Now that’s my idea of the perfect winter ensemble.

THE COLD WEATHER ESSENTIAL

Stretch-Jersey Leggings, Splendid $60

Tip: Layer leggings under wool shorts for a fun, edgy take on winter dressing.

Tip: Pair them up with a head-turning statement coat for a dramatic, weather appropriate outfit.

Tip: Take leggings in the direction of bohemian fabulous by swapping out your sweatshirt for a poncho.
