The Trend: Fanny Packs
Your eight-year-old self at Disney World in the '90s would be so proud. The fanny pack you loved back then is back — and cooler than ever, with smart details and quirky accents. Who needs backpacks? This is the new hands-free carrier.
The Trend: Fur-Trim Coats
Fur (whether that's real or faux) isn't going ANYWHERE. Go for a complete furry coat, or find a style that has a just touch of it on the collar to get that same glam silhouette without the full-on teddy-bear vibe.
The Trend: Gowns Over Pants
For those pants-loving ladies that can't imagine slipping into a gown, but have an event where you kind of have to, this one's for you. The best of both worlds.
The Trend: Fringe Skirts
Carrying over from spring, fringe is swinging its way into fall — only this time, the trim is all glammed up in shiny metallics and pretty pastels.
The Show: rag & bone
The Trend: Slips Over Trousers
Underwear as outerwear gets a
whole new meaning at rag & bone, with lacy slips layered over crisp trousers. This might not be PC for the office, but it certainly works as an alternative
going-out look.
The Show: Karen Walker
The Trend: Graphic Mid-Thigh
Dresses
Indulging in the ‘70s vibe that’s
everywhere these days, Karen Walker showcased the grooviest mid-thigh frocks — perfect for
your next party. Add knee-high boots and you’ve got your Saturday-night fever on lock.
The Show: Derek Lam
The Trend: Flowy Flares
Don’t worry, no need to pack away your disco shoes quite
yet. The ‘70s aren’t going anywhere, as proven by Derek Lam’s billowy
bell-bottoms in the warmest autumnal hue.
The Show: Prabal Gurung
The Trend: High Slits
Prabal’s lineup this season is a bit mixed up: On top, it’s full on winter
with luxe fur. Down below? It feels like spring with high-slit dresses and skirts. But, the end result reads full-on glam. While the slit trend won’t necessarily work (sans super-long duster coat) come next December, it’s
ideal to test out for that upcoming wedding you're attending in a few months.
The Show: Suno
The Trend: Wallpaper-Floral Coats
Leave it to Suno to introduce another floral pattern we
can’t wait to wear. Rather than a bright, technicolor style, this
season’s print is slightly darker and a bit more mysterious — still a welcome
update to the plain overcoats we see every fall.
The Trend: Cozy Culottes
The #lazygirl aesthetic is still reigning supreme for fall. This time, flowy culottes are getting even cozier in bouclé styles that are as soft as ever.
The Show: Tome
The Trend: Vinyl Skirts
Plastic? Not just reserved for your traditional
rain jacket anymore. Try the shiny material on every silhouette for fall,
but especially as a way to toughen up feminine skirts.
The Show: kate spade new york
The Trend: Kooky Bags
Your favorite little creatures are creeping up again this
season on bags, shoes, and everything in between.
The Trend: Striped Turtlenecks
Those of you who enjoy hiding from the world (or at least forgoing a ski mask in chilly weather): You're in luck. Our favorite sweater choice this winter (the higher the neck, the better!) is still going strong for fall '15 — but in a cool, graphic update.
The Trend: Wooden Platforms
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? Enough to make these sick shoes, obviously. Try 'em this spring in their sandals incarnation, too.
