Somewhere between Alexander Wang's army of darkness, Proenza Schouler's warrior women and Phillip Lim's leather-and-plaid clad girls, it became readily apparent that punk is seriously hot for Fall 2015. It's a little more polished and luxurious this time around though: think rounded studs, sleek grommets and chunky footwear.

Next season you'll want to trade in your colorful wool coat for a leather topper. Try a buttery brown or black to add a sharp modernity to everyday attire.

There wasn't an abundance of flashy, skin-bearing styles on the runways for next season (perhaps a response to the arctic temperatures of late), but that doesn't mean the catwalks lacked glamour. Whether in the form of lurex knits or intricate glass beading, the future of evening wear looks decidedly shimmery.

We've been cozying up in our shearling coats for months now, so we were overjoyed to see the trend continue into Fall '15. Of course the fashion world wouldn't be content with rote repetition, so these new versions include floor-length styles, icy color palettes and obi-belt ties.
