Prominent on the prêt-à-porter runways—from Dries Van Noten to Etro—prints show no sign of fading into the background. Whether you mix them from top to toe or keep it tame with just a splash, make sure to add a cashmere scarf from New York–based We Are Owls (weareowls.com). Designer Ling Chen’s circus-inspired fall collection features all the unusual suspects—snake charmers, ring masters and even Houdini ($280, at Lynnsteven Boutique, 225 Carrall St., 604-899-0808, lynnsteven.com).

With our bronze glows fading and days turning brisk, it’s time to haul out the hosiery. Hoseanna (hoseanna.com) takes the legwork out of buying it. This online store, co-founded by Vancouverite Katrina Carroll-Foster, replenishes your stockings automatically every one, two or three months. Take a cue from the Fall 2011 Marc Jacobs runway (shown) and don a polka-dot pair by Hanes ($10).

Old-school fashion rules are generally to our benefit. In a world of muffin tops and visible panty lines, they give us some Emily Post–like structure on how to flatter our bodies and look put together in the currently “anything goes” state of sartorial modernism. That being said there are some rules that just aren’t relevant anymore, limiting your wardrobe instead of making the most of it. Here, we learn from Hollywood’s finest that rules really are made to be broken.
