Belts Get Knotty!

TREND: Knotted belts

WHO'S WEARING IT: Olivia Palermo, Blake Lively and Kate Bosworth

HOW TO WEAR IT: Inspired by the Burberry Prorsum spring/summer 2010 fashion show in London, this trend is a very recessionista-friendly way to get a runway look for little to no money.

Simply wrap a thin belt—preferrably one you already own—around your waist and tie a knot out of the excess flap. The look will add a funky new, er, twist to your dresses and shorts now, and to your sweaters in the fall.

Drape-Dead-Gorgeous Skirts

TREND: Draped skirts
WHO'S WEARING IT: Gwyneth Paltrow (Burberry), Jessica Stroup (Jenni Kayne), Kristen Stewart (Burberry)
HOW TO WEAR IT: With so much fabric on the bottom, you want to keep things streamlined up top—go with a blouse or tank that is fitted to your body. While we get Gwynnie was trying to add edge with booties, a peep-toe or pump is more flattering. You can use jewelry or a cool purse to spice things up.
