PEOPLE Magazine’s StyleWatch 2006: Fall’s Top Fashion Trends

August 2006 (Medialink) — PEOPLE magazine has released its Fall StyleWatch issue, a special edition devoted entirely to the season’s hottest trends. In this newsstand-only fashion guide, PEOPLE previews 10 must-haves for fall – when red will rule, minidresses make a comeback and plaid gets sophisticated. Make a statement like Gwyneth, Charlize and Cameron with autumn’s romantic tops, elegant flats and sexy cigarette pants.

Also in this issue, zippered leather and studs — the tough chic of the 1980′s is rearing its spiky-haired head once again. Plus, PEOPLE offers style guidance on the season’s hottest jeans (say goodbye to bootcut and hello to skinny jeans).

PEOPLE’s StyleWatch issue is available on newsstands for four weeks beginning Friday, August 4.
