The issue showed readers what it was all about for that fall when it came to the latest fashion trends. The latest looks came in the new length - which was the length readers liked best. No longer dictated by anyone, both long and short skirts were in style. And classics too were  updated - this time in brighter-than-ever plaids, in brighter-than-ever colors. Fabric mix-ups was the latest trend too for both men and women - as well as ties in an array of fabrics and patterns. Topstitching details, quilting, white collars and cuffs were all on-trend - as well as the shirt tail. All-in-all, the fun young look was the newest trend at the time.
