The Top 12 Trends of Fall 2017

What will women wear come fall? And how does a woman want to dress anyway? These questions consumed us as we watched fashion shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Designers had a multitude of answers, from the structured suiting seen at Céline and Stella McCartney to the unabashed romanticism of Alexander McQueen and J.W.Anderson to Space-Age glitz chez Paco Rabanne and Chanel. The moral of the season just might be that there is no single, defining point of view—diversity in style, silhouette, and substance is what makes fashion great.That said, there are a few prevailing style cliques we’re expecting to see next September, from the pastel puff coats of Milan to the pants-free trend that’s already taken Los Angeles by storm. Meet them in the slideshow, and remember: You do you.
