September Fashion

Black is definitely back this fall, and the simplicity and slimming effect of ebony attire could easily tempt you into cloaking yourself in it around the clock. The trick is wearing head-to-toe black without giving off a goth vibe. To ensure you don't end up looking like a native of Transylvania, follow these tips from Cosmo senior fashion editor Tamara Rappa: "First, make sure the outfit contains some interesting textures, such as lace paired with leather or satin paired with soft wool," says Tamara. "And keep it feminine -- the clothes you choose shouldn't be baggy -- and stick with dainty, not clunky, shoes." Finally, add just a touch of color by swiping on a vibrant, juicy lip hue.
