Fall Fashion Week has come to a close for this season! From cut-out styles to moto jackets, the line-up ranged from chic and edgy. Here are some of the most prominent trends to take away from this season.
Suede
There were plenty of fabrics that popped up all over the runway, and suede was one of them! Suede always has strong presence in fashion, but it’s especially beloved during the Fall.

Balmain | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
Great in both bright and mature colors, suede has a beautiful and unique sheen to it that can really impress onlookers when added to your ensemble.

Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets! Need I say more? A design I’ve come to consider a sibling to the moto jacket, bomber jackets are both stylish and comfortable. They look great in any color, and they’re often adorned with a number of decorations like patches, embroidery, and more.

Off-White | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
They also look great in almost any fabric! Want one in pleather? Go ahead! Satin? Absolutely. It all works, making this style very universal. It’s a great addition to any wardrobe or ensemble, so it’s no surprise that so many designers showcased them in their line-ups!

Off-the-Shoulder Looks
Elegance is key in off-the-shoulder designs, and the runway delivered! This look is great when made with a fabric that shines, so it satin is your game, take a chance to play with an off-the-shoulder dress or shirt! Or go with a knit for something looser and more comfortable!

Marques Almeida | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
These are a lovely way to show off the collarbone and shoulders while still be reserved and practical.

Moto Jackets
These jackets were all over the show each week! They’ll probably never go out of style. The asymmetrical zipper of these jackets is an immediate tip-off to the style, and the tapered shape from the shoulders is a great way to accentuate one’s waistline.

Rodarte | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
If you’re looking for a way to dress bold, try adding a moto jacket to your wardrobe!

Louis Vuitton | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear

Pleather
Pleather is a wonderful, wonderful thing! It gives off both great feel and presence of luxury. If you want to make an impression, pleather is a way to do it, and designers at Fashion Week took full advantage of this!

Valentino | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
Smooth, sleek, and great with a top-stitch, pleather is a great fashion ally!

Loewe | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear

Cut-Outs
Cut-out designs have to be one of my favorite fashion trends. The play with negative space is an artistic touch that draws the eye in a unique way, and when used skillfully, it can have you turning heads as you walk by.

Louis Vuitton | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
Solid, thick fabrics that will hold the shape well are best for designs like these, and it looks great in saturated and neutral colors.

Women in Menswear
Everyone loves a man in uniform, but what about a woman? Rocking a well-tailored blazer or collar isn’t exclusive to men; the business feel of these styles is attractive on women, too!

Celine | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
Sporting menswear styles can open a whole new door for your wardrobe to expand into, so take some inspiration from the Fashion Week designers and look into getting your hands on some of your own!

Exaggerated Proportions
Lastly, and possibly the most-seen style on the runway, was over-exaggerated proportions. Huge shoulders, wide pants, and long, long sleeves were all over Fashion Week, and it’s probably one of the more new styles to have hit this season.

Marques Almedia | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear
Whether its design is practical or not, big sleeves are in, so take advantage of it and get warm and comfy as the weather gets colder!
