New York
By Sarah Casselman
The Trend: Minimalism
Understated cool swept the Big Apple this season. From Prabal Gurung’s juiced-up slip-dresses to Jason Wu’s sleek take on military, the latest pared-down looks get an A+ in construction and creativity.
How to wear it now & later:
An asymmetrical top paired with lean high-waisted trousers a la Narciso Rodriguez works for warmer weather, while a sculptural coat and matching bag by Victoria Beckham will keep things cozy and cool when the temperature drops.
London:

The Trend: Tapestry
Designers across London cut a rug this fall, taking inspiration from the carpets and couches of well-appointed apartments. Erdem, Mary Katrantzou and Simone Rocha sliced up velvets and brocades to bring the comforts of home directly to our closets.
How to wear it now & later:
Simone Rocha’s velvety slippers and Erdem’s ornate brocade dresses add elegance to crisp summer nights. Come fall, layer on a fur-trimmed carpet coat for the ultimate in opulence.
Milan:

The Trend: ‘80s
Designers in Milan sparked ‘80s flashbacks with oversized sweaters at Pucci, body-con minis at Versace, and lots of ruffled taffeta and riffs on a certain iconic chain-trimmed suit at Jeremy Scott’s rollicking Moschino show.
How to wear it now & later:
Wear the body-con mini dresses now with strappy heels and later with fur accents and over-the-knee boots.
Paris:

The Trend: Statement Fur
When even an anti-fur activist hops on the bandwagon, you know the trend is here to stay. From head-to-toe faux at Stella McCartney to embroidered fur dresses at Valentino, the Paris runways were awash with the fluffy stuff.
How to wear it now & later:
Balenciaga’s fur-trimmed heels make an impact in warmer weather, but you can transition to a brightly hued coat when the temperatures dip (and your bank account gets a fantasy influx of cash).
