Wearable fall fashion trend #2 is gray. Although black rules for fall, gray is close behind. Perhaps this dark color palette reflects a level of pessimism about the economy from fashion designers, whose businesses have suffered in 2009. However, the good news for petites is that since gray is a neutral color, it can go with any other color. So if you want to avoid too much gloom, you can pop it with red or any other bright color to avoid the winter "blahs". It also will work for monochrome dressing so that you can look taller.

Tip for petites: For sleek dressing, skip sweaters with cowls and opt for a V-neckline instead.
