NUDE SKIN

Leather and pleather abound for next fall, looking freshest in cosmetic shades like beige, blush, mocha and camel. Real or faux skins in this new palette are used for for everything from trench coats to tailored suits, soft tops and crisp shirtdresses. Surfaces can be matte, buffed or high-shine. Super-supple qualities are shown off with plenty of gathers, ruched details at sleeves or channel elastic at neckline or waist.

TAILORED SCULPTURE

Tailoring takes a sculptural turn for next fall. Arms are rounded, torsos are nipped, shoulders are draped and hips are molded. Fabrics with body are essential, often reinforced with padding, facing, plastic coatings or clever cuts. Simple menswear tweeds or plaids give ballast to these somewhat avant-garde shapes, making them more approachable.

THE RIGHT FLUFF

Fur trim is no longer just for outerwear. As seen in the current Norman Norell exhibit at The Museum at FIT, the plush detail adds a sense of luxury to suits, blazers, sweaters and woven tops. The fur can be real or faux and is seen in natural tones or dyed pastels. Extra-deep fur cuffs look new, but designers also use it to encircle a pullover’s entire forearm or apply it in sections along the sleeve.

LUXE LOUNGE

Elevated PJ sets are all over NYFW, whether in shining satins, soft velvets, or rich silk jacquards and moires. Mineral tones like burnt vermilion, raw sienna, malachite green and quartz pink emphasize the luxe feel. A slouchy silhouette, tailored stripes, tweedy coats and hands-in-pockets attitude keep these louche sets looking chic on the streets.
