Even Bolder Colors
Colors were strong at the spring shows one year ago (the clothes that are in store now) but this time, hues that were once accents — oranges, greens and mustard — could become the focus of whole collections.

Formerly Known as White
The color is everywhere on the streets this season — you have your jeans and blazer, right? — but this time we'll see off-white, bone, even dirty white. All in contrast and answer to the crisper, bleached versions.

The End of Skinny
For seasons, trousers have become narrower and narrower — bridging the line between straight and skinny. We've reached the precipice, though, and designers have already begun returning to a more dramatic option: wider pants, both as separates and in suits.

A Boxy New Suit
Some designer labels will push a suit fit that feels new: it's cleaner and looser, even boxier than we've seen recently. This is deliberately antihentical to the nostalgia we've been seeing in seasons past. And it prevents you from looking like a 12-year-old at a wedding.

The Mix, Mastered
The runway shows, to some extent, are always about combining the high and low. But this time, it's about mixing formal with informal: luxury fabrics and eclectic pieces will be thrown together casually — almost like you don't care. Even when everyone knows you do.

The New Double-Breasted Blazer
These already had their true comeback. This time, we'll see even more of them coming down the runways, and then landing in store racks. Especially in new and unexpected jacket proportions, as an updated version of all those DBs out there.
