Strong silhouettes, tough luxe and a return to ‘80s opulence have all hit the runways at break-neck speed; but the question remains: which ones are worthy of your wardrobe? Here we dissect the best -- and worst -- of the season.
Get waisted
With strong shoulders leading fall trends this season, emphasizing the waist became a natural counterpoint, opening the door for another top trend: big-waisted belts. From Stella McCartney to Miss Sixty, designers were all about sexy cinchers including over-sized belts over coats and outerwear and wide corset-inspired belts to further emphasize the hips and shoulders.

That's a wrap
For the fashion set, one of the joys of the fall season is the ability to wearing scarves and this year designers have given us a chic new alternative to the typical wrap-around variety in the funnel. These snuggly muffs accessorized fall runways including Burberry and Rodarte, while shades of the funnel scarf could also be spotted in oversized, chunky turtleneck sweaters and funnel necked coats.
