The fickle world of fashion can be incredibly frustrating when trying to figure whats in, fashionably speaking. Fashionistas of all ages constantly seek the newest, hippest, most in item as quickly as possible, so you may feel like you are in a race to stay on top of the game. If you are wondering whats in for a given season, look no further than the fashion magazines that flood the newsstand. Regardless if you are a devoted subscriber or possess a passing fancy in fashion, use these great sources to determine what items are considered the hottest for the upcoming season. Also, take a look at stores and the streets to see what people are buying and what they are wearing.

Although the world of fashion may take a drastic turn at any minute, todays must have items are the following:

1.) Jackets, jackets, jackets to adore

The preppy look is back and jackets, blazers, and coats are now more popular than ever! Look for the classic blazer in unique materials and colors. Consider wearing that super preppy Kelly green corduroy blazer with your favorite, broken in jeans. Look at wearing that super soft velvet chinoise jacket with a dazzling silk skirt for the holiday season. For the chilly days, top a smart sweater with a snuggly down puffer vest for the sporty look that will keep you warm!

2.) Lingerie-inspired tops guaranteed to get you noticed

Whether you are hitting the hottest clubs or going to a business meeting, the hottest word in tops is the lingerie-inspired camis and tanks. These luxurious tops are usually made from supple silk with beading, sequins, embroidery, or lace accents. For the night life, wear these tops alone, but wear them under a great jacket (see above item!) for a hip, layered look. Pick a top in a juicy, vibrant color like apple green or jewel tone burgundy for that special addition to your holiday wardrobe.

3.) Wraps and shrugs, oo-la-la

Keep warm these chilly months while looking your best! Choose a luxurious pashmina wrap to serve as a stunning accessory and keep your bare shoulders warm. The newest trend in tune with the wrap fad is the shrug. This miniature sweater usually only covers the upper arms, either like a traditional sweater or a unique take on a cloak. The shrug provides a bit of warmth, but is mainly used for the fashion statement. For the hottest style of shrug, choose on in a richly dyed faux fur.
