The Five Fall Must-Haves

The editors at Glamour magazine have selected their five must-have looks to fall for.

Executive Fashion Director Suze Yalof Schwartz visited The Early Show with the scoop of fall trends. It was the first of a weeklong series called "Focus on Fashion."

This season's fashion is about elegance with a touch of luxury. It's time to put away the bohemian look and start getting dressed! You will see the look this year is more polished, a bit more grown-up.

1. The faux fur trend - Faux fur trim is hot!
Guess parka: $138 (Bloomingdale's)
Earl jeans: $108 (Bloomingdale's)

  • One of the newest trends in outerwear for the fall is the faux fur-trimmed parka. We saw this look on the runways of Ralph Lauren and Chanel. This parka is great because it is fashionable and practical; it will keep you dry, warm, and chic all at the same time.
  • Head-to-toe white is also big for the fall - forget the age-old rule that says no white after Labor Day.

2. Mod - The crazy '60s futuristic look is hip this fall.
Jill Stuart: $265 (Jill Stuart stores)
  • Anything '60s-inspired goes this fall - think big plastic sunglasses, headbands, flat square-toed boots, and psychedelic colors.
  • A knock-off of a Marc Jacobs runway look.
  • For a more covered-up look, wear opaque tights or high boots with a flat sole.

3. Black and White
Black and white in great, fun prints are in.
Celine coat: $1,350 (All items from Bloomingdale's)
Celine mini: $1,080
Juicy turtle neck: $194
  • The Celine looked is already being knocked off in all the lower-end stores.
  • Graphic black-and-white prints were seen on coats, dresses, and skirts this fall.
  • For a modern look, pair a graphic coat with a mini. For a more classic look, wear this coat with a longer pencil skirt or jeans.

4. Tweed
Bebe jacket: $158 (Bebe stores)
Bebe skirt: $79
This year's tweed is not your grandmother's tweed. It's been redone to look sexy and chic.
  • The mini-tweed suit in pastels is one of the hottest looks for fall; we saw one at Chanel.
  • The suit is inappropriate for most work environments, but is perfect for dinner or drinks.
  • For the office, invest in a pastel tweed suit with a longer skirt.

5. Shine
BCBG dress: $196.00 (Bloomingdale's)
Milly sweater: $298 (Bloomingdale's)
Shine is not good for your face, but it is a great look for clothes this fall.
  • When it comes to evening wear this fall, the shinier the better.
  • The newest way to cover up is to pair a satin dress with a vintage-inspired fur cardigan or with a leather bomber jacket - put away your pashmina.
  • One look is inspired by the shiny dresses we saw on the runways at Ralph Lauren and Blumarine.
