For fall, I have been obsessed with the idea of marrying the menswear trend with a strong feminine slant and finding the perfect way to pair some of fall’s must-have pieces together using both textures, colors and proportions to create that look.

Here’s how to do it: First of all, THE PATTERNED SWEATER has a longer silhouette this season, but leaning towards traditional menswear patterns such as houndstooth (like the one I designed for my collection) but by elongating the length of it, I’ve given it a much more feminine feel and making it easier to wear.

Of course I love pairing that with with another must-have for fall, a LEATHER SKIRT. In my case (Styled by Joe Zee Faux Leather Skirt), the faux leather skirt is shorter with tacked pleats (to minimize the unwanted fullness factor) with a jersey stretch waist to keep the comfort (very important to me!). I love this proportion when you’re talking fall, of the longer top with the shorter skirt, which is flattering for every woman when it comes to looking longer and taller.
