Solid colors will always be a safe choice, but slightly edgier fashion for fall is about simple silhouettes in spicy prints. These fun pieces breathe life into your wardrobe and provide an exit strategy for a style rut. The best ways to wear the various prints that are hot this season? Read on.

Animal Prints

One thing’s for certain about animal prints: They’re either most patently in or out; there’s no in between.

The best way to fold them into your wardrobe naturally is to start small. A solid-colored outfit paired with either flats or a clutch in a giraffe, leopard or zebra pattern will look chic and not overpowering.

Elaine Benes Florals

In the words of “Seinfeld”’s Elaine, “Get out!” Your garden-variety floral print has taken a decidedly ’90s turn this autumn.

In fact, The New York Times recently reported that the trademark style -- calf-length floral dresses or skirts worn with lace-up shoes and socks -- of the character played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus is making an unexpected comeback in artsy circles.

Pixelated Prints

Take your love of new media for a sartorial twist with the latest take on plaid. Pair a pixilated scarf with a solid top or dress for maximum impact. It’s geek chic.
