Flouncy feminine skirts
At New York Fashion Week, English pop star Cher Lloyd performed her hit single “Want U Back” in a flirty satin skirt and pumps paired with an animal print top. This fall, embrace the flattering fitted waist and flouncy skirt trend in easy-to-wear neutrals with tights and bold pumps.
Try it on your teen

Asymmetric lines

Form-fitting bustiers
Former Nickelodeon star turned singer-songwriter Keke Palmer rocked the red carpet in a bright bustier and a tight side ponytail. With the right touches, a bustier can work for teens and moms. Try this ultra-flirty, ultra-flattering cut in a fitted top or party dress.
Try it on your teen
Choose a strapless bustier dress in a casual or lacy fabric to try the trend without getting overly sexy. Pair it with bright-colored tights or leggings and dangly earrings. Remember, this style is more suited for a formal dance or party than school ($40, macys.com).
Make it work for mom
Pair a bustier neckline with a sheer top or dress that hints at the lingerie-inspired shape without showing too much skin. This LC Lauren Conrad shirtdress keeps it trendy with a beaded color and a vintage silhouette ($36, kohls.com).
