Argyle is a pattern that began in Scotland. It features diamond shapes in a multicolored pattern.

Cigarette pants fit close to the leg and taper to the ankle, where they stop. They can give shorter women the illusion of long legs.

The D'Orsay (pronounced "Dorsey") is a type of woman's shoe. Whether a heel or a flat, it's cut away sharply on the side, providing no support there. That can be a little hard to get used to, but if the shoe is well made, it won't fall off or trip you up.

Bootcut jeans were all the rage in the 2000s when every woman swore she needed them to balance out a big bottom. Oddly, though, when the fashion industry decreed that skinny jeans were back, suddenly no one seemed to need that balance anymore!

Espadrilles are very casual cotton-topped shoes. They are named for esparto rope, which makes up part of the sole.

The bomber jacket had a vogue in the mid- to late-80s. Attempts to revive it in the 20-teens have so far not been tremendously successful.

Oleg Cassini's family, who were Russian but of partly Italian origin, claimed Giovanni Cassini as an ancestor. Giovanni Cassini first observed the division in Saturn's rings; it is now named the Cassini division.

At the risk of editorializing, we say, why? They didn't look natural, and cheaply made ones could come loose and migrate down the wearer's back or chest - not a good look.

Anna Wintour is perhaps the only fashion journalist recognized on sight by people outside the business - she has a signature pageboy haircut and usually wears oversize dark glasses. Her longtime second-in-command, though, Andre Leon Talley, is nearly as visible, being 6-foot-6 and a judge on "America's Next Top Model."

A cocktail dress, generally considered to be for "black tie" occasions, usually ends at the knee. A "white tie" evening dress should fall to the ankle or floor.

Of course, it's her famous scent, Chanel No. 5. Its primary notes are rose and jasmine.

Oleg Cassini is probably best known for his work with Jackie Kennedy. Some people called him her "Secretary of Style."

Lycra, a human-made stretch fabric, was huge in the 1980s. However, it's not true that everyone who wears Lycra is trying to cover up excess weight. Even on a slender person, the addition of Lycra or elastane can make the garment follow the body a little a better, providing a better fit.

According to fashion experts, there is a "little black dress" suitable for everyone, even older women and heavier ones. A lot depends on the cut and style.

Chanel and, to a lesser extent, Jean Patou, are credited with making the short black cocktail dress a fashion must-have. Women everywhere love it for making getting ready to go out so easy!

While Americans may associate the 1960s with all-natural, artless hippie style, that was more the late 1960s in the U.S. In the early 1960s, London was awash with the bright colors and synthetic fabrics beloved by the Mods.

The Mods and Rockers were rivals in the early 1960s, and the division went beyond fashion to taste in music and cars/motorcycles. But the Rocker look was longer unkempt hair, jeans, leather jackets - the opposite of the Mods' neater clothing and short hair (on men).

The wrap dress is a forgiving design that women with a variety of figures can wear. However, it's not loose and frumpy. For this reason, a lot of women really appreciate it.

For a long time, gingham was mostly for girl's clothing, especially dresses. Then, in the last decade, gingham shirts became the hottest thing in men's fashion. Go figure.

These can be wide or narrow. For extra style points, some designers use a slightly different fabric, like satin, on them.

Mohair is made from the hair of angora goats. It was popular in the "organic" fashions of the 1970s and 1990s.

Linen is a comfortable lightweight fabric, but it wrinkles if you so much as look at it funny. Sidenote: If you said "cotton," go to your room! It's the cotton plant that gives us cotton.

Jil Sander was born Heidemarie Jiline Sander. Perhaps chopping her name down to "Jil" was an early sign of her commitment to minimalism!

Though Mary Janes are associated with little girls (hence the name), they can add a relaxed, lighthearted touch to an adult woman's outfit. Just avoid the shiny black-patent type that scream "schoolgirl."

You probably guessed this one on the grounds of "Nobody would make that name up!" And we didn't. These are crepe-soled shoes that don't make much sound when you walk, although why someone associated this with sneaking around bordellos, in particular, isn't clear.

Hubert de Givenchy first met with Audrey Hepburn before she filmed "Sabrina." They clearly saw eye to eye on clothing, and Givenchy dressed her many films, including "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
