Sophisticated styles popular this season

SCRIPPS HOWARD
Sometime the fashion outlook for women is all about a key color.
Other seasons, it's dominated by a particular print, some bygone era or a clear overarching theme.
But this fall and winter, womenswear is defined by silhouette. Colors, textures and fabrics are interesting subplots, but the main story is the unmistakable outlines of ensembles that reveal at a glance what a look is all about.
From military, menswear-inspired and cowgirl chic to poufy cocktail dresses, waist-defining suits and slim coats over full skirts, style heads in a fresh, edgier direction while remaining unfailingly feminine and modern.
For men, suits return to work with more color and pattern mixing while layers for everyday dressing are luxurious and uncomplicated. From the soles of his slip-ons to the crown of his fedora, the dapper fellow's look will bespeak natural confidence and intentional sophistication.
