The Hottest Pre-Fall 2016 Trends

The Hottest Pre-Fall 2016 Trends

Peek-a-boo Black Pieces

Essentially flaunting everything under that translucence, black is featured in virtually every collection this season; with lace aspects, cut-outs, spider web details, sheer panelling, and numerous more subtle elements that give us quite a peek at the body beneath. It really is sexy and playful, and certainly the furthest thing from boring!

Bared Shoulders

One of the hottest Pre-Fall/Winter 2016-2017 trends is shoulder cut-outs, as seen in the pre-collection shows. This shoulder-baring silhouette is either slashed to reveal just a peek off-shoulder, has straps with an off-the-shoulder look, or strapless to expose full shoulders. Having the perfect neckline with just the right amount of skin visible is not only unmistakably sexy but also an art unto itself!

Leather Continues to Rule the Runway

Leather has been a huge trend for a while now and appears to be going strong. We do see it appear frequently enough as a jacket, whilst still taking into account the high waist miniskirts, gorgeous belts, and dress accents. Sexy certainly takes on new meaning for leather this season!

The Latin Fashion Influence

There is something more for the pre-fall season that is red hot and full of passion! What better way to celebrate the Latina in you than to wear Spanish inspired designs straight off the runway as we watch the fiery pixies take to the stage. We see black and red steaming up the place, layers of fringe falling over body-skimming fabric, and the beauty of the classic Victorian meets modern-day look.

Boxy Jackets

Jackets with boxy cuts have once again left their mark on the runways ~ they are really light layers though and essential to ensure both style and warmth. The jacket/blazer trend for the upcoming season takes on a boxier silhouette with ‘cropped cuts’ while keeping proportions sharp and sophisticated; roomy but with a beautiful fit for your body. Perfect to go with loose pants that are also an emerging trend this season.
