This week is the last for Fall Fashion Week, and we saw a few favorites and new head-turners as the event comes to a close! Trendy jackets and flowing garments were prime pieces of the show for Paris designers, and we had to share them here!
Kimono-style Jackets
With loose sleeves and a cinched waist, kimono-style jackets have been popping up in plenty of designers’ lines. Kimono collars are perfect for when you want to make your neck look long and elegant, and the patterns and fabrics often used to make these types of jackets are never less than stunning.
From smooth satins to glimmering prints, kimono jackets are a wonderful addition to any ensemble or wardrobe.
If you’re thinking of making your own kimono jacket, check some of these fabrics to get inspired:
Wide Sleeves
Big sleeves are always a comfortable fit, and their draped look flows beautifully. Graceful looks like these were sprinkled through many of the line-ups.
Wide sleeves are nice, because they can help make you look and feel elegant. They can be made from all different fabrics, too.

Leather Jackets
Straight-cut, embellished, or studded, leathers were a familiar and glamorous appearance for the show. Many leather fashions are still sporting motorcycle and bomber jackets, so if you haven’t grabbed one for yourself yet, there’s still time!
Leather is great with both suave and edgy styles, so they look good on practically anyone.

Flowing Skirts
Big, flowing skirts popped up in the beginning of the season, and they’re still going pretty strong. Now being paired with fitted tops like these, they lean more to the side of sophisticated than comfy like their early season counterparts.
With a more business casual attire, these skirts can look very sleek.
Fabrics with good drapes like these would be perfect for a flowing skirt:
