Self-Portrait IMAXTREE

New trends spilled out onto the runway with every Spring '17 show at New York Fashion Week. There were reappearances from the trends already taking hold in our closets, like pleats, and the bared shoulders we've come to regard as the season's staples. Then there were the fresh iterations, the newness that promised to shake up our wardrobes next year with contemporary cuts, unexpected details, and a re-imagining of our old standbys. These are the looks we're highlighting inside — the eight biggest trends to come down the catwalk and to add to your closet when Spring 2017 arrives. Take a look through the contents below to skip straight to the trend you'd like, or flip through to see it all in full.
