If you think corduroy is something that belongs back in the ‘70s, think again! Cords are popping up all over the place this fall, from jeans to handbags to shoes. Corduroy has an uncanny ability to embody the fall season, especially when done in rich fall hues like browns and plums.

Here are some of our current favorites:

Faux fur has been a reoccurring theme in past seasons, but this season is about picking one piece and building an outfit around it. Our fashion experts, Brooke and Kaya, have put together some faux fur-inspired outfits that will have you looking up-to-date and fabulous in a snap.

Try a beautiful vest, such as the Faux Coyote Crop Shrug from MICHAEL Michael Kors, paired with a long sleeve tee and jeans for a casually modern look. If you want to dress up the vest a bit, dark skinny jeans and a nice pair of heels are all you need. Silky feminine tops and studded booties make ideal partners for a faux fur vest and an over-the-vest belt will help accentuate your figure with ease.

Faux fur-trimmed boots, like the Furgetit from Stuart Weitzman, are a cute and cozy way to stay updated this season. Skinny jeans, airy blouses, clean-line coats and statement necklaces make trendy and polished additions to an outfit built around the boots. Boots aren’t the only faux fur accessory you can turn to – hats, handbags, jewelry and even socks are available in faux fur on Zappos.com. Rock your faux fur accessories with turtleneck sweaters, bootcut corduroy trousers, classic trench coats and a crossbody bag.

Less is more and as long as you pair your faux fur with some feminine pieces like silky blouses and form-fitting belts, you’ll be good to go. Hitting the faux fur trend out of the park is an easy homerun this holiday season. Check out our Trends page as well our Stylists’ Picks for sound fashion advice from the pros.

Sailor pants are one of many clothing styles derived from military use that have been periodically popular. With their high, fitted waists, button detailing and belled legs, sailor pants seem designed to make a fashion statement. But why do they look like that in the first place? And when did they first become popular as a civilian fashion statement?

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about sailor pants. Their buttons don’t, for example, represent the original thirteen colonies. The flap front of sailor pants is simply a relic of the standard tailoring of men’s pants in the late 1700s and early 1800s, which is when naval uniforms largely became standardized (prior to this, ships, captains and divisions could largely commission their own clothing within certain parameters).

The sailor as an image of military success, freedom and adventure, has made “sailor style“ an ongoing and worldwide phenomena, one that’s been examined in museums in both Britain and Australia.

While sailor style and pants in particular (although don’t overlook the navy and white striped top) are in fashion today, this is hardly the first time. Sailor pants were also a hot commodity in the 1970s, thanks to their belled legs and also featured prominently as a part of women’s attire for play in the late 1940s and 1950s as part of a reaction to the end of WWII. Earlier in the century, while trousers were often shocking for women, nautical fashions did appear in the clothes of both women and children, especially during the time bracketing the world wars.

Despite sailor style being fashionable for women and children, it’s never really caught on with civilian men.

Today’s sailor pants for women usually step away from traditional wool and appear in denim, corduroy and other non-standard, comfortable and durable fabrics.
