Think Pink
Forget what you thought you knew about Fall colors — designers are inviting you to embrace a fresh palette, namely a rosy, pretty pink. Whether splashed on a coat or worn head to toe, it's softening up Fall clothes, though it's not as sweet as you might remember.

All Checked Out
The pattern that took over on the runway was obvious and it seems designers across the board were having plaid thoughts. There were simpler, cleaner iterations, though some skewed more schoolgirl or even Western-inspired.

Suno

Pretty One-Sided
For seasons now, we've seen the ruwnay deliever a riff on the off-the-shoulder neckline. For Fall, the cut is asymmetrical, revealing just one side for subtle sex appeal.

Liquid Metal
Sparkle was done with a subtler touch this season, albeit with results that are just as eye-catching — only easier to wear. Metallics seemed melted into fabrics, glassy and liquid-like, so the pieces look even better when they move.
