And let's face it, nothing in your wardrobe is more versatile than black. It’s no surprise, then, that the hue ruled the runways. Yigal Azrouel Plays on texture: Forget clothes in plain wool or cotton — designers used luxurious textured fabrics such as high-shine pony-hair, wooly alpaca and quilted leather to add a layer of interest to their fall looks. Chanel Oversized coats: Besides the tremendous amount of fur on the runway (is PETA still doing its job?) there was another ubiquitous outerwear trend: coats in oversized proportions and exaggerated cocoon shapes. Stella McCartney Pink gets its day: The color pink gets a bad rap as an uncool girly-girl shade — but that’s about to change. Come fall, expect to see standout items in every permutation of pink, ranging from soft blush to bold fuchsia. Blumarine Menswear inspired: Borrowing from the boys has been popular for the past few seasons. Designers further explored the trend for fall with slouchy trousers and tailored suiting. Sportmax There's a lady in the house: For those of you who don't do androgyny, feminine staples such as peplum tops, full skirts with longer hemlines and pencil skirts with cinched jackets gave collections a polished, ladylike feel. Rochas Embellishments: This season, the decoration was especially in-your-face, with shimmer on top of crystal on top of metal on top of feathers. No matter what your trimming of choice is, there was an option to choose from on the runway. Lanvin Plaid: Whether you go ’90s grunge a la Saint Laurent or the more formal route with houndstooth and Prince of Wales checks as shown at Tommy Hilfiger, expect to be part of the plaid parade come fall. Givenchy Winter white: People anxious about getting side eyes for wearing white in the cold seasons can finally put that fear to rest. Designers showed full looks in dreamy pale shades. Giambattista Valli High slits: Are all the safe, wearable clothes putting you to sleep? Skirts and dresses with slits up to there added a sexy jolt to the fall shows. Prabal Gurung
