STEP AHEAD
Pants are in for a serious revival this fall. Most designers are favoring a more relaxed look than we've seen for some time. You can still wear them with something high, but at the shows they were partnered with low, square heels or flats. What to buy: Cropped pants can be tucked, gaucho-style, into seventies-esque leather boots (though if you tried this the first time around, it's probably best not repeated). Safe bet for maximum wear time — go for the masculine, low-slung look.
