Goodbye, boho babes; bonjour, femmes fatales! We're loving the new strong shape in fall fashion. Tough luxe feels right for these interesting times.
Leggings (above: Stella McCartney, Diane von Furstenberg, BCBG Max Azria)
• Zoom in from the ground up.
• Legs are the new It zone.
• The ’80s staple returns.
• Razor-sharp.
• Long and lean.
• Pushes the skinny next to the skin.
• Great layering piece under a miniskirt, tunic or jacket.
• From biker tough to minimalist sleek.
• Metallic, printed, shiny or matte in stretch fabrics.
• Suede, leather and velvet patchwork.
• Bejewelled, studded numbers at Miu Miu.
• The best building block to update your look.
Tweed (above: Marni, Burberry Prorsum, Gucci)
• Totally into tweed! Rich, woven textures, masculine appeal and the cozy factor.
• Popular black-and-white combos also came in autumnal hues of ochre, brick and rust.
• Kilts and pegged boy-cut trousers at Burberry Prorsum.
• Swinging toppers in triangular shapes at Marni.
• Sculpted skirtsuits at Michael Kors.
• Constructed collages mixing tweeds at Proenza Schouler.
• Traditional country cloth goes city-smart; it’s the hippest of the heritage fabrics.
