Even if you aren´t heading back to school this fall, you will find your style with the hot fashions of Maurices. Don´t think about consulting a textbook when it comes to these new fashions, because there are no rules. It´s about options. It´s about choices. It´s about being you.

Bold shades of lipstick red, festival fuchsia, passion orange and dusty lilac are paired unexpectedly, giving this season a new statement. Mixing colors and styles that express yourself, your mood and your attitude is the fashion message for you. The fit and styling is created to showcase your femininity. Highlighted in tops, beads, lace and satin are feminine and flirty, yet keep a casual flare when worn with jeans or khakis.

Preppy, with an attitude, hits the mark with fashion experts. The look is clean, crisp and colorful with cable and v-neck sweaters, grosgrain belts and polo shirts. Teamed with a mini, the look is very chic.

According to company spokesperson Nancy Adams, "The poncho is a must-have fashion item this season, looking comfortable, yet put together. Wear this versatile top when you feel like hitting the town or simply hanging out." It´s on the scene in woven and crochet designs in black, cream and a variety of colors. "It looks great over a camisole paired with a solid bottom so the poncho gets all the attention," says Adams.

Denim evolves with the cuffed jean, streaky effects and new tints of khaki and dark stone sandblast. For the latest look, wear the cuffed jeans with a spiky, pointed shoe. Sweaters this season don´t mean you´re planning a trip to the Arctic. Sheer sweaters are a key element of your wardrobe. They won´t feel heavy or bulky; instead the style is more fitted, but not tight, feminine, yet practical. They are perfect to layer over bare shouldered halters giving you options whether the mercury is rising or falling. Key accessories for your collection are pins! Think vintage, like your grandmother´s, and big, like large floppy flowers. Place them anywhere and everywhere -- on shirts, jackets, even on your handbags. The cuffed bracelet is getting all of the raves since hitting the August issue of Seventeen Magazine, page 165. Boots keep pace with short and tall styles; having rounded or pointed toes and details featuring buckles, pleats and rouching.

And guys -- how to dress cool this season? Layer it up. Screen tee´s look great under a polo or woven shirt, but don´t forget to roll up the sleeves. They can even be worn over a long-sleeve thermal tee when the weather chills down. Slimming down the silhouette and updating designs of plaids, checks and grids clean up woven shirts. Khaki and tint washed denim with some pocket details keep this look fresh.
