The trend: Hot looks for the cold season

Animal prints, textured tights and jewelry stacking.

What's hot this season? We chose three: animal print patterns, black textured tights and statement jewelry -- stacking bracelets. The good news is that you can find them at any price.

ANIMAL PRINTS

It's a wild safari with animal prints finding their way onto handbags, belts, hats and shoes. Leopard prints are huge, but giraffe and tiger prints are spot on, too.

TEXTURED TIGHTS

Black patterned tights and leggings are running rampant, and they're a must for the little black dress. During the fall runway shows, black speckled tights had everyone excited. Others are leaning toward stripes, checkered patterns and peekaboo styles (think fishnets). If you're looking to elongate your leg, try a vertical pattern.

JEWELRY STACKING

Don't be scared to make a bold statement. If you don't have a "statement piece," such as a large cocktail ring, load up on chain necklaces and stack your arms with dazzling bangles. Don't be matchy-matchy. Instead, go for a mix of metals, wood and fabric designs.
