Modern Folklore
Folkloric details gave Fall '17 a decidedly rich color story and fabrics that look as if they've been woven from tapestries and embroidered in all-over florals. If these dresses could talk . . .

Boxy Lady
The season's jacket to have comes with a roomy, boxy fit that's perfect for layering over everything, though we think it looks best over pretty dresses and skirts for a cool contrast.

The Go-To Sheath
There were plenty of minis and drama-inducing gowns on the runways, but the common denominator was a cool, modern sheath dress that might just become a staple in every woman's wardrobe, especially when you see how versatile it is.

Silver Sensation
Swathed in silver sparkle, designers proved the surest way to get noticed is with a heavy-handed dose of metallics on everything from cocktail dresses to going-out tops.

Just a Slice
Designers revved up cutouts with slashes and slits that are sharper than the ones you're used to. You won't just see them as the statement-making features on cocktail dresses; these tears find their way onto tops and sweaters, making everyday wear that much sexier.

Khaki Crush
Don't underestimate this neutral palette. Khakis and camel-colored separates popped up all over the runways in monochromatic looks that prove you don't have to be brightly dressed to make a bold statement.
