A skirt like Zoe Saldana's Calvin Klein Collection version is perfect for the office, stylist George Kotsiopoulos tells Us. Best paired with a sweater and a chunky heel to moderninze the look, the skirt can also be worn with a crop top for evening.

When shopping for fall, keep an eye out for anything blue, says our expert. To enhance the hot new hue, follow Mindy Kaling's lead and accessorize with a pop of emerald. "I love this shade," raves Kotsiopoulos.

Amanda Seyfried chose Gucci's metallic blue chiffon shirt and skirt to promote her film Lovelace. "The sheer fabric works here -- she's not giving too much away, but she's still sexy," says Kotsiopoulos, who notes that the '40s were huge on Gucci, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Dior's fall runways.

Kotsiopoulos points to Katy Perry's Lucca Couture velvet skater dress as one way to adopt the fall trend of regal, Game of Thrones-esque wardrobe pieces. Not feeling the full look? Try a velvet blazer instead.

Take a cue from Kerry Washington and have fun with fall fashion! "What a great conversation starter," Kotsiopoulos raves of the Scandal star's lip- and heart-covered Stella McCartney mini. To accessorize a printed ensemble, choose one subdued color from the print and coordinate pieces that way.

Glee's Naya Rivera was right on trend when she wore Michael Kors' super ladylike dress to the 2013 Giffoni Film Festival in Italy. To adapt the trend, Kotsiopoulos tells Us it's best to look for pieces with feminine touches to offset the masculinity of the tweed fabric. Wear it with a simple pump or strappy sandal to make the tweed stand out.

"Punk was one of the major trends on the runways of Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Jeremy Scott, Versace and Chanel. It's all about tartan, straps, studs and vinyl and of course safety pins," Kotsiopoulos tells Us. "Nina's Versus Versace dress is a subtle way to get the look."

"The motorcycle jacket's not dead! It was big on the Rodarte, Etro and Altuzarra runways and it's on its way to becoming a wardrobe staple," predicts Kotsiopoulos, who suggests wearing the look like Julianne Hough did, with jeans, or over a dress for an edgier look.
