In today’s entertainment world, celebrity style can run the gamut from geek to chic, leaving you either inspired or feeling tired. With Fall right around the corner, AllHipHop.com took time out to highlight the season’s fashion trends via some stylish celebs. Whether you peruse the racks or the latest fashion mags for what to rock, take a little inspiration from the men and women on our list.
If your style is…Understated Chic: Amerie and T.I.
In true Capricorn fashion, Amerie’s style is always simple yet stylish. Count on her to rock simple yet eye-catching styles such as textured knit dresses combined with statement, waist-cinching belts for a look that is both lady-like and modern. Top it all off with luxe accessories such a beret, a textured bag (think python, patent or both) and a pair of suede ankle boots. Remember ladies: less is more.
Understated Chic Female Luxe Item: Bottega Veneta Woven Bag
From his nautical-styled ensemble at this year’s BET Awards to his affinity towards all things Ralph Lauren, T.I.P. embodies understated chic style for young men. For Fall, less is more for guys too, so expect a trendsetter like T.I. in luxe leather blazers over lightweight cashmere sweaters by Blanc de Chine for a ‘grown-man’ look. Basic doesn’t have to equal boring, so expect to see urban staples like designer jeans and hoodies mixed up with classic patterns such as plaid and paisley. For accessories, keep it simple with an eye-catching timepiece – nautical-style for day or classic red gold for night.

If your style is …Young, Fresh & New: Swizz Beatz and Ciara
Swizz Beatz’ fashion style has evolved alongside his illustrious career as one of Hip-Hop’s most sought after trackmasters. From his Ruff Ryder jersey-rocking days to his current fun-yet-mature style of dress, the one man band man keeps his clothing as colorful as his music. For those that like to stay ahead of the pack like Swizz, look to ‘80s and ‘90s-inspired pieces like allover-print hoodies and tri-color sneakers to carry over into the cooler weather. Don’t go totally retro though. To keep your style from looking like a costume, sport a fun yet functional sport watch – we like D&G’s Navajo Watch – and give your bling a break by rocking the new mens’ sterling silver bracelets by Gucci.

As the new face for Roc-A-Wear Ladies, Ciara epitomizes a young, fresh and new look. A blend of trendy mixed with sexy tomboyishness; Ciara always keeps it youthful and fun. For a look that’s cute and casual try the boho-tech styles by Stella McCartney and anything sportswear-inspired in bright hues like fuchsia and orange for the daytime. For nighttime, rock trendy high-waisted jeans, feminine blouse and platform heels for an effortless chic style.
