Neiman Marcus previews the trends of fall 2010

Yesterday, Neiman Marcus presented their favorite fall trends at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. Over a delicious breakfast, Neiman’s unveiled their list of what we should be wearing come autumn — the color green, strands of pearls and structured bags included. Needless to say, we want everything.

Here are some of our favorite pieces that, according to Neiman Marcus’ trend report, should fill your fall closets:

GREEN: The go-to-color this season, green is back in action in every shade imaginable. We love the ease and comfort of this olive-hued Tulle Trim Cardigan by Jason Wu. ($450)

FUR: To each his own when it comes to fur. We personally opt for the faux version and this Alice + Olivia Metallic Faux-Fur Jacket is perfect for dressing up casual outfits for nighttime. ($396)

PANTSUITS: Even if your work uniform consists of a bathrobe, having a solid structured pantsuit is a must-have for important meetings, job interviews or for days when you feel like dressing like a grown up. We love the feminine take on the menswear classic in this See by Chloe Puff-Shoulder Tuxedo Suit. Complete the look with a billowy blouse and sleek hair (Jacket $695 & Pants $485)

PEARLS: Pearls can transform even the grungiest gal into a classic chick. Whether they’re by Chanel or passed down from Grandma, pearls can tie together any look. And Neiman’s brilliant twist is to take a long, hip-length necklace and wear it in a crossbody fashion. Umm, genius. We love this Ippolita strand of fresh water stunners. ($895)

STRUCTURED HANDBAGS: Gone are the bulky hobos. This season is not only about structure with suits, but structure with your handbags. In keeping with our downsizing motto we brought you last month we suggest the Tory Burch Halma Studded Mini Bag ($350)

LACE: A touch of girlish delight, we love glimpses of this fabric with a modern L.A. twist. This Versus Lace-Insert Top is perfect over jeans or a pencil skirt ($325)

FEATHERS: Feathers on accessories can be sweet, but feathers on the body can be tricky (visions of being called Big Bird are flashing through our head). That’s why we adore this Elizabeth and James Plume Tube Dress. The straight cut and ruched bodice would look fantastic on any figure and won’t make you look like a muppet. Yay. ($545)

BOOTS: As we presented to you yesterday, spots are back…and they attached to boots. Whether you choose to go with ankle, knee or over-the-knee, boots — as usual — are in full swing this season. We love these way-out-of-our-budget Fendi Leopard-Print Cutout Booties. Hey, a girl can dream ($1,015)

CAPES, PONCHOS, VESTS: We love the cozy look of this White + Warren Hand-Knit Cable Vest. It’s perfect for a mild California fall day spent outdoors or snuggled up on the couch. ($200)

MILITARY: Burberry has the best trench coats bar none. And now we are in love with their dark olive military coat tied by an all too lux brown leather belt with logo-embossed coin buckle ($1,495)
