As the temperature starts to drop and caffeine levels spike across the country from an influx of Pumpkin Spice Coffee intake, talk turns to outerwear in the fashion world. Let’s take a look at some fall 2018 looks making it big this season, and some Spring 2019 looks that you can rock right now.
Animal Prints
Animal prints are a fashion favorite, showed off perfectly with Balenciaga’s cheetah fur coat. Victoria Beckham and Max Mara both sported leopard print furs, while Tom Ford showed off stunning statement sleeves. Giambattista Valli’s tiger stripe trench and trousers are ideal for keeping warm on a cold November day.
