Fit fall styles into your wardrobe

Behind the scenes at a fashion photo shoot

Fall winds will soon blow in a hint of something new.

A little more structure.

A lot less bohemian chic.

There are a few wild-child trends, but this season's offerings are decidedly more tailored than in years past.

It's glamour redefined.

Pencil skirts replace ballooning dresses.

Velvet and lace edge out nylon and linen.

High collars stand in for plunging V-necks.

Menswear fabrics show up in women's garments. Tweed, plaid and herringbone hug hips and curves.

Skinny is still in, but high-waisted, wide-legged pants are the perfect of-the-moment option.

Ladies, grays and blues are your hues. Gentlemen, you've never looked better in yellow.

Skinny belts circle the hips, wide leather belts cinch the waist, and all-over black accessories add polish to a bright satin dress.

Opaque tights partner with peep-toe pumps and boots of all sizes to keep legs toasty on blustery days.

Structured frame bags in kelly green, burnt orange and eggplant will give your go-to bag an updated sheen.

Blend the colors and mix the trends, but remember: Polished sophistication should rule the day.
