Nina Garcia, fashion director of Marie Claire and judge on Project Runway named her top ten basics for this fall season 2008:- THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS: Reliably chic, can take you from classic to dangerously sexy in a minute.
- STATEMENT JEWELRY: Chunky necklaces, gothic rosaries, Art Deco cuffs.
- LACE: The look ranges from demure to goth, mix with a white button up shirt and black slacks for a feminine detail to a menswear look.
- WELL TAILORED JACKET: The key is fit, with a tied waist belt to give you shape.
- CLUTCH HANDBAG: There are so many styles to choose from and much less expensive then a huge bag.
- SEXY HIGH HEELS: Can uplift your outfit in seconds.
- WIDE LEG TROUSERS: For day or evening, dress up with stilletos to make your legs appear longer.
- BLOUSE WITH RUFFLES, LACE, OR A BOW: Perfect to frame the face.
- A GREAT COAT: Allows you to make an entrance.
- FLORAL PRINTS: Winter blooms in jewel tones and darker colors.
