Now that New York Fashion Week for Fall 2018 has come to a close, the most prevalent trends from the runways have made themselves known. In terms of accessories, many designers opted out of the oversized silhouette that has been popular in past seasons. This is especially true for sunglasses, which appeared on many runways in a small, cat-eye style. Designers, like Anna Sui, Calvin Klein, and Calvin Luo all featured this style in their collections.
At Self-Portrait, masculine and feminine silhouettes were combined in the form of oversized outerwear and flowy dresses, accessorized with small, rounded sunglasses. Anna Sui’s latest collection, inspired by her love of the fashion world in New York City, featured slightly larger frames in a cat-eye style. At Adam Selman for Fall 2018, the designer debuted a bright and bold collection inspired by the 80’s, which included smaller, bright-colored cat-eye pieces.

This most recent New York Fashion Week came with newly revived trends from the 80’s and early 90’s, complete with accentuated shoulders, off-the-shoulder tops, voluminous silhouettes, and plenty of ruffles. A standout trend from this category though, was the classic power suit, revamped. With the rise of androgyny on the runway over the past few years, this is not a surprising direction for brands to embark upon. Designers like Calvin Klein, Vivienne Tam, and Jason Wu all showed versions of the menswear-inspired suit look, each with its own unique styling.
Amy Smilovic of Tibi included pinstripe blazers in an extra-oversized fit, while more classically tailored pieces in monochromatic styling appeared on the runway at The Row. At Nicole Miller, edgy, grunge inspired suiting was featured in the collection, complimented by graphic embroidery and dark, smudged eye makeup.

As we continue into one of the coldest winter months of the year, the need for a reliable, warm winter coat has become more pressing than ever. The parka trend has been out there for several weeks now, even making an appearance on high fashion runways like Vetements. More recently, the demand for Canada Goose products has been steadily growing as the temperature drops. However, a price tag of $500 or more is not always easy to swing, especially around this time of year. Luckily, there is an abundance of options at a variety of price points sure to get you through the winter.
Land’s End offers several parkas ranging in style and price, but be sure to check out its Insulated Casual Parka, which is perfect for everyday use. It’s available in three colors, is priced at $129, and even comes in tall, petite, and plus sizes. Similarly, Woolrich is always a reliable brand for outerwear and similarly, outdoor gear. Also great for casual wear is their Keepsake Quilted Insulated Parka, priced at $165.

Black, cream, beige, and burnt orange at Calvin Klein expressed power through the decidedly sleek silhouettes for Fall 2012. A line dresses with silver belts give a playful aspect to an otherwise strong palette. Timeless pieces, including princess seam bodices in leather with cream, A-line skirts hit the runway and can be worn time after time, as per Klein’s design motif. Color blocking with different shades and hues of black and gray give a modern twist on traditional shapes, and wool with leather details give these looks a day to night feel, as a woman could wear them to a business meeting or to cocktails in the evening.
