So look for one-shoulder styles, cut-outs (hi, Prea James), sleeves (the puffier, the better, thank you Karen Willis Holmes), sheer overlays (like the Alca Line Bride number) and slip dresses for days (Lilia Cass and Fiona Claire were looking at you)

With this difference, your outfit will stand out while still going with the fall colours that are warm and cosy
