The most anticipated Fashion Weeks of the year have ended with a big bang and this season left us in a daze with its in-your-face, audacious and bold pieces bordering on sheer cheek and brazenness. The style mantra has taken a total U-turn from last year’s bright hues and moved towards a more measured and muted color pallet. The earthy shades with an occasional hit of bold red or deep burgundy were accompanied by a deluge of mauve and pink, glitter lurex and electro furs, daring you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the coming winters with an eccentric twist. The coolest part of this season’s apparel was that most separates that were employed to accessorize statement pieces are probably lying right there on the back of your closet. So it’s time you took out those piles of white button-downs, silk tunics, long shoes, over-seized sweaters and hoodies and the fancy gloves as they will complete your fall look to a T! 1. The Leather Takeover!

The winter collection was rampant with leather details and leather jackets. We absolutely loved the sharp shoulders, puffy volume, oversized streetwear and corseted leather waists. All these key trends came together to create an explosive silhouette and we cannot wait to adorn it! Here is a round-up of the dominant fashion trends from New York, Milan, London and Paris Fashion Weeks. 2. Slip-dresses

The slip dress is one summer trend that made a smooth transition towards the winter season by employing leather as its main forte along with lace-trimmed silk and velvet. Go for a lot of layering, plunge v-necks and midi lengths to complete your look. 3. Puffer Jackets

Knee highs are back with a bang and they were paired this fall with almost every look. The patent leathers are always the safest way to go, along with velvet and choose those printed ones if you are in a mood to experiment. Lengths varied from just below the knee to thigh-skimming styles and we just cannot wait to put them on! 6. Bonfire Palettes

Frills and ruffles from the spring collections have effortlessly transformed themselves for the cooler months in the form of a long sleeve. The frill details could be seen in the blouse sleeves, on the front of dresses, even on sweaters and we are not complaining at all! 9. Metallics

Keep those metallic tones ready for the Fall as they could conveniently be a part of your knife pleat skirts, footwear, and assorted accessories. Copper, purple, and emerald shades are the go-to colors if you are tired of only gold and silver. 10. Statement Bags
