As sad as it is to see summer go, it’s hard not be excited for fall fashion—breaking out the tights, sweaters, and jackets after months of carefully planning outfits based on how to stave off heat. Not anymore: You can actually start putting together fully developed outfits. If you’re looking for fresh new ideas that will keep your outfit game strong, the fall 2018 collections gave a wide range of new looks and layering tricks to inspire you all season long.
Designers gave new license classic fall staples (and a few summer ones too) by playing with layers, combining different textures and proportions to create new silhouettes. There was a mash-up of delicate beaded tulle and suiting with chunky knits at Burberry and Simone Rocha; trench coats were worn over/under each other at Vetements and Tibi; pants served as the new black tight under everything from miniskirts to long dresses at Tory Burch, Max Mara, and Gucci. And you thought skirts-over-skirts were bold.
