Even though its been blazin’ hot lately, Fall and Winter are well under way (51 days to be exact). So its time to store up those shades and gladiator sandals for some of the items coming for the cold season (some already in stores).

Check out some of the biggest and hottest trends to look out for this Fall and Winter season from the innovative designer runways…

Expect to see lots of paisley prints this year which, were the prints of the runway – featured in Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, and Gucci…

Length is emphasized this season with designers like Marc Jacobs and Derek Lam featuring clothing with more of a long silhouette. Long dresses and layering long pieces together will surely keep you warmer this season…

Put away those leggings and skinny jeans these season, because the boyish slouch slacks look to reign in the Fall, thanks to Yves Saint Lauren, Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler…

Little black dresses are always in, but this Fall season – designers add a bit more of va-va-boom with black lace added into the LBD. It was the sexy dress of choice for the runways of Prada, Givenchy, Stella McCartney, and Burberry…

thighbootsf.jpg

In shoes, we all love a good pair of boots for the winter. Next season, designers like Etro and Alexander McQueen are taking it higher with thigh high boots

tightsf.jpg

And if boots to your thighs won’t keep you warm – these decorative tights which were popular on Chanel and Chloe catwalks, surely will help while keeping you trendy underneath…

There was a huge western influence on the runways with plaid being another favorite print of designers. Expect to see more country swag with frill and tweed trends…

volume.jpg

Designers pumped up the volume with poofy up and volumious skirts featured in shows and can serve as a fun pick for a winter party…

waistout.jpg

The waist is still a focal point for many designs like Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton – who made tops and jackets emphasizing the hour glass silhouette…

Though the flowers will go for the winter, they won’t go away from fashion. Derek Lam, Michael Kors, and Anna Sui brought flower power back hard for the season…

The jewelry of choice were that of chain links, seen everywhere on the runways – from layered necklaces, to belts, and watches.

  16. Missez [So What If I Like Rh Rhi]

    @ 17 True But Dont Let The [ARA] Anti Rihanna Associate Read Those Words You Might Be Cast Out As Rihanna Crazy Stan When Your Just Giving An Opinion

  17. SexyLexi

    I’m not digging any of these looks except for the chains and printed tights. If this is all Fall has to offer then I’m very disappointed. Everything posted is so not feminine. It’s either too granny, too manly, or too trashy. Guess its time to stop following trends and go with my own individual look! PASS…

  18. Kim

    #1 you u took the words out of my mouth.

  19. the real nunya

    I LOVE those slouch pants!!! (Even though they kind of remind me of Hammer pants) LOL

  20. ETCETERA

    I love those slouch pants even though they look like Hammer pants.

  21. It looks like Rihanna copped all them “Volume Bottoms.” But I’m feeling the slouch pants, and the FIRST “Funky Tights”, I think Beyonce has those.

  22. big z

    NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place ☆☆☆”NYwealthyMatch . c o m”"”"”"”"☆☆☆ If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean…

  23. kaykay

    1. It’s gotta be real cute for paisly to work
    2. Long is always in, I’m 5’10″
    3. Lacy LBD…Bebe will be excited about that-that’s their speciality
    4. High high boots always have and will be in style in my book
    5. Funky tights; that’s a carry over from this year, right?
    6. Plaid’s always in
    7. Volume bottoms; love this look on Rihanna and Solange
    8. Floral=ditto from #1
    9. Helluva post Tianna :)

  24. CAREN

    i love the thigh high boots!!!!!! everything so far looks good for fall :)

  25. T

    Very Hot Looks!!!!! The Balenciaga Black Dress (Waist out section) is sick! THe Black leather Thigh Highs are sick and the chains are crazy! Loves It! But of course my girl Rhi Rhi has already rocked all of this!

  26. lmao@20,so true

    all of this mess is ABSOLUTELY horrible.and i know somebody is going to come with that bs “you just know nothin about fashion”,whateva….

    and i guess KELIS started her fall/winter fashion early with those atrocious slouch pants she was rocking

  27. nyhoni

    Oh, I Would Rock The Long Turtle Neck Dress Too.

  28. Brandi

    I def. want some thigh high boots!! Everything looks good

  29. BRIANA

    where would people where this stuff? i just don’t understand fashion :/

  30. Kina and they say Chi-City

    Can’t wait for the Urban version of everything to start showing up in stores and going on sale!

  31. DENITA SKYE

    Yes! im lovin the direction we’re taking for fashion this fall….Cant wait to rock the slouch pants. Think thats the only one Ive never done before.

  32. Bohwe

    These pieces are cute, and they will certainly work once, the retailers such as Sax’s, Nordstroms, etc pick them up. The Designers add and embellish the designs for run ways for dramatic effect, but once the retailers buy them, they will be totally toned down in appearance.

  33. Sosensual

    Im loving the long lengths as well as the knee high boots

  34. Kent

    Many people are discussing it at wealthy dating club ***R I C H L O V I N G.C O M***, where the hot affluent singles and sexy girls and models to hook up for Hot Love, Flirt and Sexy Dating!

  35. the_One and ONLY ONE

    Love love love!!! Ohhhh I am going to love shopping this fall.

  36. I Should Be Working

    hmm, already have a lace LBD…can get with the paisley, slouch pants, tights and the chains….

    the rest looks a lil’ too much like a costume….or too country and soulful for me (florals don’t really give me Fall/Autumn)

  37. politicallyincorrect

    These clothes are ugly, and I ain’t wearing not damn Hammer pants!

  38. politicallyincorrect

  42. Diamond

  43. Too Good To Be True

    THESE MODELS LOOK SCARY.. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE AUDITIONING FOR THE ADAMS FAMILY “FAMILY REUNION”…SOMEONE FEED THESE HOES A CHEESEBURGER PLEAZE!

    P.S. EXCEPT 2ND PIC ON FLORALS.

  44. lilblackfan

    thanks tianna!
    i’ma start gathering some trends:D

  45. jaxa

    I’m loving the big bottom dresses. I adore the layered and heavy statement necklaces’. The slouch pants I knew would make the cut…and I’m excited about that. I had NO idea the thigh high boots would make a comeback this season too….the very reason I opted to keep them OUT of my closet towards the end of last winter when I seriously considered paying 150.00 for a pair….DAMN.
    The floral is one thing I will probably have to take a leap of faith and heavy consideration to rock this season. Plaid business…it is what it is…and it’s EASILY put together so I like that! The lace I don’t think you’ll see unless you hit a red carpet event…….
    Overall….I’m excited….
    I want to see Kanye type updated 80′s Swag hit the streets EVERYWHERE this season too!

  46. MISI DAT CHICK

    So we should all dress like Lisa Bonét this fall??

  47. MISI DAT CHICK

    This is all 20′s fashion.

  48. Feelin the slouch pants…may rock that look. And the hour-glass jackets are cute for the office.
    Thanks Tianna!

  49. vivi

    OPS,so fashion! My friend told me that she saw her profile with hot photos on

    **blackwhiteconnect.c o m ** Is that true? Maybe… OMG, is she looking for new
    relationships? I’ll check it out.

  50. Mike Rash

    The thigh boots are to die for, as can be seen by the mannaquins wearing them, also lol at #28… who does their hair… halloween masks are more attractive

  51. Kena-smilez all day

    lol dang I work at forever21 and I see this stuff long before they post and lord knows when they ask me to dress certain. manni’s I be like ,”WTF?! now u know don’t NO PERSON wit their RIGHT MIND walk out the house like that” MOM DUKES WON’T EVEN ALLOW ME TO WALK OUT THE HOUSE IN SWEATS AND A TEE TO WAL-MART AT LIKE 12 IN THE MORNING but then I remember”fashion is like a walking piece of art’ or so they say, but I always wondered when fashion designers make this OUTRAGEOUS stuff why are they wasting yarn?! when they clearly know celebs can’t wear those pieces to certain events, half the time NONE…it’s an ok fashion season but no boom here! (snaps finger: DANG!)
