It’s barely the end of February and you’re probably just wrapping your head around what’s hot for spring, but the fashion world is already excited about the new trends emerging for the fall/winter season.

Fashion Week in New York City wrapped last week Thursday, here are the highlights to keep in mind when you go fall shopping at the end of summer.

Luxe Velvet

There is no other fabric that is more synonymous with luxury than velvet. Slip on a sultry velvet dress for evening wear or make a simple jeans and T-shirt more special with a fitted velvet blazer. Thinking of this luxe fabric always makes me smile. I designed the dress I wore for my high school prom and was convinced that it was a shoe-in for best dress of the night. Unfortunately, the winning dress was a black velvet number with a thigh high split, totally inappropriate for a high school prom but I’m not bitter!

Lipstick Red

The fall season is typically filled with muted color palettes, but this year bold red popped out amidst the blacks and nudes as the bright favorite. The little black dress is being replaced by the little red dress. Sultry and sassy, almost every designer showed a version of a sexy little red dress in their collections. My favorites were from Marchesa. Delicate yet fanciful, the little red dresses in this collection were made for the ultimate girly-girl who loves delicate details.

Peplum

Peplum is a short overskirt that is typically attached to a form fitting jacket, blouse dress or skirt. It’s a great little detail that makes an otherwise ordinary piece just a little more special. The added fabric around the hips makes it great for those with a boyish figure as it adds shape around the hips for an hourglass silhouette. Marc Jacobs, Preen and Peter Som all incorporated this feminine silhouette in their collections.

Tuxedo Chic

It seems Janelle Monae’s affinity for the tuxedo as womenswear is finally going mainstream. Designers from Jason Wu to Yigal Azrouel all showed chic versions of this menswear inspired look for Fall. If you’re hesitant to wear a complete tuxedo, incorporate aspects of this look such as a tailored tuxedo blazer into your wardrobe.
