- Fall fashion trend: Layering
Skirts vs. pants. Designers addressed this age-old quandary with a madcap game of multi-layering. Bricolaged looks piled coats, jackets, dresses and skirts over ankle-baring cropped pants, creating a new hybrid way of dressing.
Key pieces
A great thick pullover with a miniskirt worn over shimmering pants, or a jacket layered over a skirt and matching stovepipes.
Accessories
Adding a felt or fur chapeau and platform pilgrim loafers creates balance and proportion.
Favourite collections
Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Long known for biker bravado and youthful rebellion, black leather softened up as designers ventured into dark territory. Tailored cuts in matte, lacquered, textured, embossed, quilted and even embroidered skins stoke a powerful sex appeal.
Key pieces

Gloves—from short to over-the-elbow—in a contrasting or textured finish add a dose of “proper” attitude to any jacket, dress or coat.
