While we have a little time left of summer, we definitely should be transitioning our shopping to fall. To help us out, Elle.com has listed top trends for fall 2009.

Top trends for fall 2009, by elle.com:

1. 1980s style: If you’ve been to TopShop at all, you'll know what I mean. I may have been in a dressing room line with Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar from what I could tell! you’ve seen poufy sleeves, acid-washed jeans and pleated pants are all the rage.
2. The Cocoon Coat: It is protective, warm and cozy. With larger that normal sleeves and pockets, this is a piece that will go great with many looks.
3. Grey and black: Your fall looks will be chic and smoldering in these rich shades.
4. Fur: Can’t comment on this one. I strongly dislike both real and faux fur… but it is up to you to wear whatever you want!
5. Hats: From tailored to trendy, hats were all the rage on the runway.
6. Hot pink: Turn up this baby-doll color a few notches and wear it as a dress or a shirt and pair it with black leggings! We love the look of a strand of rich, dark Tahitian pearls laying over the neckline.
7. Slashed shoulder: From one-armed long-sleeved tops to tops with a cut-out shoulder or just one strap, this is a look that shows some skin without going overboard.
8. Gold: Brighten up fall with shades of gold and yellow.
9. Sparkles: Reach for a sequined skirt with a plain top or just wear sparkly accessories. Just don’t go overboard!
10. Thigh-high boots: depending on where you work- I am not sure these are best for the office, but as I said in #4, it is up to you to wear whatever you want!
