* Boys Town – a dash of haberdashery, a touch of tomboy;

* Lace Noir – fade to black, both day and night;

* The Pointed Toe – looks sharp on everything from pumps to boots, as well as menswear inspired flats;

* Scaled-Down Handbags – mini dimensions, major impact;

* The Fall Face – toned down gets turned up;

* Multifaceted Necklaces – gem-cut stones add a flash of brilliance

“Fall’s 2013 music-infused message of Rocker Chic defined the runways and will define a woman’s wardrobe,” notes Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus fashion director. “Light as a feather, supple leathers translate into must-have motto jackets that top everything in a woman’s wardrobe for day and for night. Leather as trim on dresses, skirts, pants and jackets gives a subtle rocker edge to the most-sophisticated style.

“Also, saturated shades of violet and red in every hue becomes the color contrast to black, white and the beautiful browns that become the base of the season. And a red shoe and a red handbag make black worthy of a second look for fall.”
