10 Top Fall Trends - Kelly Millar

With London Fashion Week coming up, I think it's only right that we take a look at this seasons top 10

trends for Fall! With other Fashion weeks that have gone by and with the new season collections already in

stores, I have collected what are, in my opinion, the top 10 luxury must have trends for this Fall.

Turtlenecks/Roll Necks

This look here is from  Maison Martin Margiela seen on Paris Fashion Weeks runway a few months ago, the turtleneck trend is one we saw briefly for men last Fall, but the trend has elbowed its way to the top again this year in womenswear. This is a must have for anyone with a taste for luxury items.

The trend can also be seen here in Zara's autumn lookbook for 2012. This is one for the highstreet

 Long Coats

The trend of the long coat has also resurfaced for this Fall. This look is from Bottega Veneta  on March's Paris Fashion Week catwalk. This is certainly one for the lover of the finer things in life, pure luxury and can be worn with absolutely anything!

This look is from H&M's autumn collection, the long coat trend has spread across both catwalk and highstreet! I especially love the detachable imitation leather belt with a metal buckle, it adds dimension and sets off the coat well.

Menswear Inspired

This is from  Giorgio Armani's collection, the menswear inspired trend shows the popular use of items usually associated with, you guessed it...Menswear! Here we can see a typical grey suit with a statement flower to give it that feminine edge. After all the saying goes 'think like a Man, act like a Lady'

This look is taken from Zara's lookbook, we can again see the trend over both highstreet and luxury fashion.

Leather

This look is from Celiné it shows another one of the latest trends, leather. We have seen leather all over the catwalk and highstreet in luxury fashion this season. This look is admittedly probably not what you would wear for everyday wear, however it is a good expression of how hard the trend has hit the catwalk this season. 

This is a more wearable look that equally shows how the leather trend has exploded this season. It shows skinny fit leather trousers paired with a faux leather sleeve coat. Beautiful

Embellished Knits

This trend is a new one for this Fall, embellished knitwear is a new and upcoming must have. This look is from Altuzarra and is a definite must have this wintery season

This look is another view from the Altuzarra sweater seen above

Knee High Leather Boots

Knee High leather boots have been seen all over the catwalk this season, and I predict  them becoming a must have for every fashion loving female out there this Fall. These boots are featured from Alexander Wang

Cobalt

This seasons hottest primary colour trend is Cobalt. However it would be criminal when mentioning this seasons hottest primary colour, to not give reference to the belittlement that Meryl Streep gave Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada. It was a point that opened fashion lovers vocabulary to what would of once been called ''blue''

This look is from DKNY, I must mention that I love the silhouette to this piece, it's unique

Countryside Alliance

This look is from Burberry, this trend sees designers re-visit the popular country classics. ''The familiar country dress codes of plaid, corduroy and traditional tailoring were seen throughout the collections, with dramatic coats best played in utility fabrics and earthy, autumnal colours'' Explained Vogue's Market Editor.

This look is from H&M's collection

Peplum

This is this seasons biggest and best trend! The peplum has been thrown directly into the spotlight in all respects. It has been seen on all the major catwalks and all the highstreet stores. Luxury fashion has also incorporated the peplum as you can see above, an absolute MUST have! This look is from  Alice & Olivia

This is a peplum top from Zara

Military Inspired

Military inspired is another trend that has been done again this season. Last season we saw many military inspired pieces and they are back and kicking this season! This look is from Suno, and the jacket is exquisite with lots of dimension to the piece, paired with the plain skirt, looks fantastic.

This is a military style jacket from Gucci this season

That concludes my collection of this seasons must have top 10 trends, each item luxurious in its own way and  each trend standing firmly in the spotlight for the duration of this Autumn/winter
