Leather Weather
Designers looked to leather to craft coats in sleek silhouettes. Don't be fooled, these styles range from your classic trench varieties to street-ready, slashed versions we saw at Alexander Wang.

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.
Tibi
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.
Calvin Klein
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.
Baja East
The Velvet Touch
When the chill sets in this Fall, you'll be thrilled velvet is having its moment. Designers showcased the luxe fabric on dresses and suiting — even track suiting — making it the favored texture of the season.
Ralph Lauren
Jumpstart
Designers introduced creative layers, evolving the dress into a jumper this season. The result is a sophisticated, modern version of the one you might have worn back in school.
Proenza Schouler
All Tied Up
The fashion world's fixation with scarves and bandanas evolved into Fall's pussy bow blouses and ribbon neckties. In our books, that makes accessorizing easy.
Michael Kors
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.
Calvin Klein
X Marks the Spot
Woven fabrics and lace-ups were used to create texture and dimension, making these subtle crisscrossed patterns a hot comodity for Fall.
Prabal Gurung
"Granny" Chic
With polished silhouettes and luxurious finishes, these coats feel as if they were plucked straight from the closets of your chic grandmothers.
