WEAR WOLF: Notes on the Women's Fall Standouts

At About Women's Fashion, Cynthia Nellis succinctly sums up and illustrates the 10 fall trends in the women's collections: sweater knits; menswear prints; the new suit; leggings and tights; shorts and knickers; the dress; black, white, gray, and red; the wide belt; vests; and the extras--boots, big bags, and gloves.

At Style.com, you can relive the fall '06 shows in an amazing photo data base, with a Look Book program that lets you sit by the runway and take your own notes. Here are a few of our favorites:

and throw on any ol' thing--

say this breezy little outfit from Gareth Pugh...
