For a trendy transition to cooler temps, try wearing denim cutoffs with black tights (or patterned ones, for a more offbeat style). The look is a fresh way to show off your legs without opting for a Xmas Earring skirt, says star stylist Lindsay Albanese (who's worked with Audrina Patridge). "Pair shorts with a boyfriend blazer or mili, tary cargo jacket, and finish off the outfit with black high-heeled booties," says Albanese. Avoid denim on denim unless the washes are drastically different.REVERSIBLE JEANSDouble-duty denim: Avril Lavigne and other stars are switching up their jeans style by turning their pants inside out!

On August 25, Jessica Simpson, 30, stepped out in West Hollywood in a $2,200 Dior number that had people talking - but not in a good way. "She looked like she was smashed into her dress," an onlooker tells Us of the 5-foot-3 Price of Beauty star, who has said she "fluctuates between a size 4 and 6." Explains NYC stylist Elle Werlin: "Though a classic sheath is a good idea for her, this one was wrong. It's too Xmas Key Ring, too bright, and her undergarments add bulk." Simpson - who was mocked in2009 for her mom jeans - is no stranger to style snafus. Why isn't that changing? "She only works with a stylist for certain events," says an insider. "Usually, she dresses herself." Killer carves Though the star - whose clothing line pulls in roughly $500 million a year - often brags about body acceptance, pals say she's bluffing. "She's desperate to lose weight," a source tells Us. "But she wears unflattering clothes." An easy fix, says Werlin: "She's not a big girl. She just needs to stay away from things that are too small."
