Mom-friendly fall fashion trends

Focus on legs

From jean leggings -- jeggings -- to thigh-high tights for day to decorative ankle socks with booties, the focus is on the legs. Each of these looks has one common ingredient: plastic! Plastic, in the form of nylon, Lycra and Spandex, adds the stretch to leggings, tights and socks, and helps them stay up and hold their form wear after wear.

Leggings: The gotta-have staple

Jeggings have more Lycra and Spandex built into them than normal leggings do, making them more durable for the on-the-go mom yet still fashionable.

Knee- and thigh-highs for everyday wear

On your next date night, throw on a white or beige pair for a fun way to accent your skirt, shorts or dress.

Socks with shoes no longer a faux pas

Pair some ankle or mid-calf socks with man-style flats (such as lace-up oxfords) for a female dandy look, or with heels for downplayed glamour. Even better, they keep feet warm on chilly nights.

Cargo pants

Imagine a reality in which you can be on trend without changing a thing. "Fatigue cargos and flowing tops will be abundant in the coming season. I am pretty sure we moms already know how to rock these," says celebrity stylist Andrea Behar. "Fashion is ageless! With the right attitude, a mom can wear any new trend," she adds.

Fur

"Fur is in this season. Pair a fur vest with jeans, but leave your sneakers at home," says Behar.

Sequins

"No need for hot pants or mini skirts here. Pair a sequined blouse with a pair of high-waisted camel slacks and call it a day," Andrea says.
