The series of fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris have just ended, but it is not too late to prep your wardrobe. Besides showing us what to anticipate in the spring, which is still about half a year away, there were also styling gems that appeared right on the streets. The key pieces emphasized this time around weren’t anything groundbreaking. If anything, they only legitimized the impact of trends we’ve already been seeing all along and the fact that they are here to stay. We’ve summarized them below so you could have what you need to know all in one place.
Animal Prints

Animal prints are making a big comeback this time around, and it’s not just the leopard print—although that did take the spotlight for most of the time. Since finding them on the runways earlier this year, the patterns, whether it be cheetah, snakeskin, tiger or cow, were rolled out all throughout the month. They were not limited to garments alone as accessories with animal prints also had their fair share of the limelight. There were bolder choices that combined them with other currently fashionable colors, but some stuck by the usual browns and generally earthy tones without being any less vogue.
The 60s and 70s

You know what they say about trends, just wait a while and they will find their way back to the scene. Many styles from previous decades have made their comeback recently, but there seems to be a newfound love for the 1960s until the 1970s, and it was not just on catwalks like Etro’s alone. The styles varied from too chill to groovy, often in earthy and subdued tones common during the time. Dresses also took on silhouettes associated with the era as well as florals, giving off bohemian vibes as a result, and were often seen with beaded accessories.
Neon

You’ll have to thank Miuccia Prada for this blinding trend. Since neon was spotted on Prada’s Fall and Winter runway, others were quick to pick and incorporate the colors in their wardrobe. Soon enough we found celebrities having their take on the luminous garments, but neon also proved to be dominant on the streets during the fashion month. Usual colors we spotted were fluorescent greens, yellow, pink and orange. And they weren’t worn in moderation as some may have done in the past; many opted for a full neon look in classic suits and other professional-looking garments.
Black

The fashion month saw some love for black on the streets. Sure, the color is classic but it is not many people’s idea of standing out. And yet, we’ve found all-black ensembles during the past four weeks. As it turns out, you can do little tweaks here and there without needing pops of color; glitters and ornaments work just as much in getting attention, and so do different fabrics. Dressing moodily didn’t mean blending in the background this season.
Tiny Bags

The Dior saddle bag made its way back to people’s hands and shoulders, but that’s not the only “It” bag this season. We’ve found teeny-tiny pouches to be very fashionable, although they probably don’t do much in carrying your stuff besides your touch up essentials and perhaps a phone if you’re lucky. While oversized silhouettes were trendy when it came to clothing, bags went the opposite way. Still, it is the size that made them noticeable and coveted among fashionistas this fall.
