It happens like clockwork: the New York Fashion Week runways [1] wrap and we start planning our outfits. The Fall '17 forecast promises to mix up our wardrobes with reinvented suiting, fresh autumnal florals, and the piece that's about to replace the culottes we've worn on repeat for the last year. Yep, it's a season of change, but in this case, that's a very, very good thing. Read on for the eight big trends you'll be shopping come Fall.

Business School
With nods to menswear staples, like the tailored blazer, and classic striped and checked suiting, designers gave workwear essentials a new attitude that makes them all-occasion-appropriate for Fall.

Fall Florals
Outerwear becomes the whole outfit, thanks to rich floral prints that mean you'll never want (or need) to take your coat off.

Just a Slice
With a slash here, a slit there, designers remixed the predictable cutouts you've been seeing for seasons. This time, cuts look less deliberate but even more striking. These tears in the fabric from the arm, the midriff, and right under the bust are surely the sexiest way to reveal a little skin for Fall.

The Everyday Midi
Culottes have a little competition for Fall. The beloved silhouette is being phased out in favor of designers' iterations of the midi. With a casual, wearable quality, this is the skirt you'll rely on — and rewear — constantly.
