5 totally wearable trends from the runway to get excited about now
Get inspired with these accessible fashion trends. They may be taken straight from the runway, but you probably already have some of these pieces (like red, yellow or plaid) lying around in your closet. Below, five new looks we're excited to wear now from the fall 2017 runways.
Wearable FW17 Trends
Seeing Red
Mark our words: you’ll be seeing red this fall. Head-to-toe—and mixing every shade imaginable—is the hottest way to wear it now. See: Oscar De La Renta, where a bright red is paired with a deeper shade in an unexpected, but amazing way.
Check Point
Plaid is fall’s favourite print, and it’s not going anywhere for 2017. At Dior, it was plaid-on-plaid-on-plaid and Chanel it was a statement black-and-white jacket in the print.
Oil Slick
A big accessory (and clothing) trend for Fall? Black, high-shine patent leather and vinyl. Pair these rock-n-roll-inspired pieces with softer items like lace-trimmed tunics and ruffled shirts.
Hey Sunshine
While spring ’17 is all about neons, we’ll be seeing an ever-so-slightly toned down version of yellow for fall. Valentino and Loewe paired dresses in this happy hue with contrasting black accessories for a more wearable take on the trend.
Pantsuit Nation
Hillary Clinton’s pantsuit nation lives on! From suits in bright and bold hues like lilac at Emilia Wickstead to a looser, oversized fit at Celine, this workwear staple is here to stay.
