Nudes: We love all the chic and subdued shades out there right now. The trick to wearing nude shades is to complement your skin tone. Fair-skinned girls should opt for more rose or pink-toned nudes. Medium-skinned ladies, go for nudes with gold undertones. Dark or olive skin looks amazing against bronze-nude tones.

Glitter: You know the saying, too much of a good thing is NOT a good thing? The same goes for glitter. To look tastefully chic, keep your glitter item to a single item, whether it’s the focal point (like the dress featured above), or a sparkling accent (like a glitter shoe or clutch). It’s important to not go overboard with this trend.

Plaid: Now for the fellas! Plaid has always been our favorite go-to print for guys. It’s easy to wear, and you can wear it either on your top, bottom or as a cool trim or accent. Want a more fun way to wear plaid? Try wearing a plaid blazer to a daytime party or wedding to keep things interesting!

The dynamic men behind the Bogosse label are Haitian-born brothers Patrick and Fabrice Tardieu. Bogosse, translated, means handsome in French.

Fit is paramount and the Bogosse silhouette is slimming and compliments the body by cutting close to the body, yet maintains enough drape to be versatile when worn alone or undera jacket. Shoulders have a masculine shape and are also constructed close to the body--the result is modern, sleek and tailored.

Premium manufacturing imbues each piece with an artisan's influence, blending luxury fabrics and international influence for versatile wear. The Bogosse dress shirt combines regal classical elements juxtaposed against modern interpretations delivering nothing short of luxurious, intelligent irony.

THE DAILY TREND - ARGYLE MEETS PLAID

Argyle is that preppy staple that never really goes out of style. It can be that bold colored pattern that just pops an outfit or a subtle hint of the design that makes a chic, quiet statement. We are loving the combination of argyle meets plaid in this v-neck plaid-front and stripe sweater from Moschino. Wear it alone or over a plain tee, paired with navy pants or dark rinse denim.

Celebrity Style: Because Prints aren't Plain

It seems like prints are here to stay for celebrities. There are several different prints that all of Hollywood has been wearing. On everything from dresses to even shoes, prints are definitely in this season as a celebrity fashion trend.

Celebrities are sporting one surprising print: plaid. Now, you may think of the old, plaid, flannel shirts that are popular with lumberjacks, but this is an updated plaid look. The key to wearing plaid is including some sort of feminine touch. It should not look like you borrowed your boyfriend’s old flannel. Vanessa Hudgens was a great example of this trend when she wore a fitted plaid dress that showed off her curves. Other celebrities indulging in the plaid trend are Lauren Conrad and Ellen Pompeo. If you are not sure about wearing plaid, start off small and wear a plaid scarf with your jeans and tee. You also may want to avoid the plaid mini-skirt, as you may give off the trampy school-girl look.

A not-so-surprising print that is popular with celebrities is a sophisticated floral. Floral prints are still in style for the fall, but you have to choose the right print. The floral prints for fall are richer and deeper in color, such as purples and dark pinks. Kristen Davis and Reese Witherspoon have worn floral dresses, which were feminine and flirty. If you are not comfortable wearing a whole floral dress, opt for a shirt or even a floral silk scarf. Floral clothing pieces are a great way to show off your feminine side and keep things light going into fall. Celebrity designer Roberto Cavalli has been designing for this trend. He made both dresses and blouses in sophisticated floral patterns, which celebrities have worn. With this celebrity trend, you want to avoid any floral patterns that look like baby or little girl attire. Make sure your floral pattern is sophisticated and modern.
