There were so many glittering moments this season but this stunning dress from Dries Van Noten pretty much sums up the look. If you can’t justify a metallic solo, try a blouse or a top for a touch of shine that’s still on trend.SHOP NOW: Metallic Top, $395

The '50s are making a comeback and we promise you can wear this trend — just go for a scoop neck top and a full skirt that falls just below the knee to mimic the era’s famous silhouette. A beehive pinned back with a headband only adds extra chic to your look. Mille grazie, Prada.SHOP NOW: Fifties Inspired Dress, $200

Try an elegant tailored suit at the office, then wear the jacket on the weekend with jeans and a t-shirt. We recommend navy pinstripe as a classic fall style, like this look from Balmain.SHOP NOW: Tailored Suit Jacket, $240 and Pants, $140

Step outside your comfort zone and try a longer, fuller skirt for day. The length should be almost to your ankle, while the waist should be gathered and the skirt full. Wear this sophisticated look with a simple tee (or a cropped jacket as shown at Louis Vuitton) and we guarantee you’ll feel polished.SHOP NOW: Long Full Skirt, $238

Exaggerated lapels and decorated epaulettes stormed the runways but our favorite uniform-esque references were separates in chic shades like khaki and military green, like this look from Celine. SHOP NOW: Utilitarian Chic Dress, $264

Color was all over the fall runways and we particularly loved the monochromatic looks, like this gem from Rachel Roy. If one color overall is too dramatic for you, try a long layer in a bold color to satisfy your color cravings.SHOP NOW: Long Cardigan, $49

Beaded embellishments will be on all the racks of your favorite stores, with styles paying homage to the flapper glamour of the '20s. If a beaded dress (like this Alberta Ferretti number) is too over-the-top for your taste, try an embellished bag, belt or scarf to ease into this trend.SHOP NOW: Beaded Bag, $78

This fall, sweaters are chunky and bold with knit embellishments and exaggerated shapes. You don’t need to go as avant garde as Michael Kors, but try a cowl neck, a voluminous crew or an oversize collar as a way to get in on this trend.SHOP NOW: Bold Knit, $365

This trend appears with regularity every season (especially at Calvin Klein) and a shift dress is a fool-proof way to wear this look with confidence.SHOP NOW: Shift Dress, $100
