Fall is a great time to give your wardrobe a makeover. If you have been dressing in pastel shades and light fabrics, then this is the perfect occasion to go for warmer colors and materials to complement the rich colors of fall.

Push-up Jeans are hot this fall. These jeans are made of shape fx material and have been designed to slim the tummy, trim the things and shape the hips so that all the unsightly bulges stay out of sight.

Another must-have item for the fall wardrobe is the trenchcoat made infamous by Peter Falk in his role as Columbo. The trenchcoat, in fact, created a splash at the New York Fall Fashion Show this year in various colors and styles.

Another fall item to go with jackets and tops of different styles is a pair of anti-cellulite tights. These are treated with caffeine micro-capsules which bring about a slimming and firming effect. The nylon or spandex material used in these tights also smoothes away the ugly lags and ripples and give a sleek look.

Finally keep in mind your body size while shopping. Clothes which look perfect on the mannequin may not always look so good on you so do try on any new outfit before you leave the store.
