There are so many trends now that it seems as if absolutely everything is in fashion. However, it is still possible to determine a few of the main favorites among the whole palette of trends. First of all, of course, leather in all possible variations and colors. In the new season, both basic and minimalistic sundresses in an achromatic palette, as well as unusual and avant-garde leather dresses with pleats, perforations and all kinds of decor, are relevant. If such an unusual material does not appeal to you, you can look for many alternatives: graceful dresses with floral prints, knitwear, plaid and iridescent dresses. We have highlighted the main trends and selected the most relevant options in stores - so your shopping will be as simple and fast as possible.
Leather
We never stop singing laudatory odes to the most popular material of the season - leather. For several seasons, while she dominated the list of trends, we have already managed to tame her not only for special outings, but also for everyday looks (including the office capsule). Basic sleeveless a-line dresses or leather sundresses will be ideal options for fall and winter - these will look perfect in an ensemble with cozy sweaters and turtlenecks. For inspiration, we go to the catwalk reports: we look for asymmetry and trendy mustard from ProenzSchouler, unusual draperies and folds from UllJohnson, and brutal leather in the spirit of traditional Northern England costumes - from Alexander McQueen.
Floral
The rule "flowers are for summer, monochromatic gloomy outfits are for winter" has long ceased to work. We wear all possible foloral colors with pleasure all year round, and this season, of course, was no exception. The most desirable options can be found at Prad - although the collection is made in the style of gothic and punk, in an ensemble with other, more discreet things, feminine midi-length dresses with large flowers will become real works of art. In addition, you should pay attention to the small floral print, as in the shows of Givenchy, Isabel Marant, Michael Kors and Chloé - they look more childish than large flowers, but in combination with voluminous knitwear they give us even more options for styling (see also: Full guide to the trendiest shoes for fall and winter 2019).
Pleated
If we have long been accustomed to pleated skirts, then dresses can become a breath of fresh air for the new season. In addition, they are also easy to combine with other things - pleated dresses will go well with knitwear for every day, and with classic jackets for office outfits. Both small and large pleating will be in trend, so it will not be difficult to choose an option to suit your taste. Practical options for every day can be found at Boss - midi length, loose silhouette and medium pleats.
With bows
Bows in all possible variations have become one of the main trends of the fall-winter season. The most relevant solution is to place one on the collar of a flowing dress: the Duchess of Cambridge often appears in such outfits (see also: 6 fashion tips from Virginia Chadwick-Healy, stylist of Duchess Kate). The decor on your dress can be either contrasting (for example - Antonio Marras), or matching the outfit. In any case, the bow will add a fair amount of lightness and carelessness to your look, supporting the trend for the 80s.
Cell
Truly the most perfect print for the cold weather. And although we wear it all year round, in the autumn-winter season, the cage looks especially organic and grateful. The most relevant are still the classic tartan colors - Royal Stewart, Burberry and Black Watch. If you will not surprise you with the classics, you can combine it with unusual shades - mint, lilac, burgundy - or combine several different checkered colors in one look.
Shiny
Shining sequins, colored crystals and rhinestones - a set that is now easy to present not only at an annual party (corporate events are already on the nose!), But also in your everyday wardrobe. How you will wear all this splendor is purely your business. Designers advise balancing such flashy items with discreet and practical items, such as oversized jackets or cozy cardigans. For a special evening, you can bet on the already familiar gold and silver or unusual variations of dresses with sequins - for example, a geometric print with rhombuses, like Blumarine.
