From luxe layering to fashion-forward fabrications, Fall ’17 offers a fresh take on fashion. Let’s have a look at the new-season trends.

Fringe
Whether dangling from the hem of a skirt or cascading down your favorite accessory, fringe lends a playful edge to this season’s collections.

Velvet
Incorporated in everything from blazers to party dresses to pumps. The ultimate luxe fabric looks especially appealing in evening wear.

Plaid
Designers gave a nod to menswear with this versatile print — and it feels so contemporary. Try it in a boxy jacket and layer it over feminine dresses.

Shimmer
Get ready to shine in sequined separates and metallic dresses. A unique mix of shapes and shades are making silver a sensation.

Fun Fur
Prepare to go bold with vibrant fur with graphic content. What better way to brighten up your winter look?

Soft Hobo
Move over satchels, these light, flexible bags are too hot to handle. Try them in bi-colored leather or exotic skins, as stylish as they are wearable.

Slogan Top
Let them know where you stand. The political protest continues on the runway and into streetwear.
