GRAPHIC PRINTS

Upscale Western-inspired leather graphic print bag ($198) at Giddyup Jane, 9670 Clayton Road

SIZING UP FALL FASHION TRENDS

There's a lot happening this fall in fashion accessories. Purple reigns in color -- again. And chunky, funky jewelry is a must-have look for any outfit. And be glad for plaid. The print is showing up on skirts, jackets and even on shoes and hats. We asked four women to give us their views on the upcoming fall trends.

Our panel of shoppers and their top picks:

SASSY TRENDSETTER, 19, Roxana, chose the open-toe bootie from Bakers. "I look for an edgy style. I tend to pick fashion accessories that others wouldn't attempt. I also mix up trendy accessories with classic pieces."

ELEGANT -- AND EDGY -- CHIC, 26, North St. Louis County, loved the tortoise shell cheetah bracelets from The Little Black Dress, 9793 Clayton Road. "My fashion style is chic and elegant but laced with a bit of edginess. I look for clean lines and classic prints. When the seasons change, I do shop for the new trends."

SEXY AND SOPHISTICATED, 32, St. Louis, selected the upscale Western-inspired leather graphic print bag ($198) at Giddyup Jane, 9670 Clayton Road. "I would label my wardrobe as sensible, but sensual. I select clothing that makes me feel good, but I'm not going to break the bank to get the look."

CLASSIC FASHIONISTA, 42, Glen Carbon, couldn't live without the military-style jacket from Neiman Marcus, Plaza Frontenac. "My fashion is generally up-to-date with various pieces of past styles to add or make conversation. I tend to mix and match wearing the same thing twice, adding something different to give it a changed look. For 40 plus years, the styles have come and gone, and I love watching when it comes back again."
