For fall, fashion is breaking out of its typical trend cycle and embracing individuality. It's a refreshing concept that seems to celebrate a smattering of styles rather than just one set of rigid standards.
It's the opportunity to "go your own way" and try mixing it up, sticking to tried-and-true classics or maybe a bit of both. Anything goes this season, and you can wear and interpret the trends as you want and still be in style.
Here are several standout themes from the runway to provide inspiration when building your fall wardrobe.
Patterned hosiery
A play on traditional fishnets and graphic patterned tights puts a new twist on heavy fall pieces.
Who did it best: Rodarte, Proenza Schouler and Tommy Hilfiger.
How to wear it: Let the tights be the sole statement item. Pair them with understated, neutral items such as a gray or black skirt and black oxfords or closed-toe heels or ankle boots.
Mod
A-line miniskirts, skintight turtleneck tops, pointed-toe Chelsea boots and graphic acid bright prints are reminiscent of the edgy 1960s look, but with a modern-day spin.
Who did it best: Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Saunders and Fendi.
