There was a distinct lack of 鈥榩rettiness鈥� on this season鈥檚 runways 鈥撎齪erhaps due to a truly insane year of politics that鈥檚 made women want to channel the vibe of mature and powerful, not sweet and innocent. Instead of namby-pamby pastels and girlie tea dresses, there was sharp tailoring, workwear pieces, sci-fi influenced clothing, a nod to pioneer America, and bold slogan tees. You鈥檙e not going to change the world with a pithy six-word quote (see our for more on that), but it鈥檚 still heartening that one of the world鈥檚 biggest industries is telling women to wake up and get politically engaged. Here鈥檚 our digest of the top four trends for fall and how to wear them.

Sci-fi and space

Maybe Karl Lagerfeld鈥檚 collection was inspired by this year鈥檚 batch of space-themed movies (Valerian, Life, Alien Covenant and more). Most of these were, in our opinion, total duds, but Chanel鈥檚 line-up was not. We won鈥檛 be adopting the quilted capes, but we are definitely into the glittery moon boots. Other brands that took to the skies included Chlo茅 and Isabel Marant, while Gucci did an alien-themed campaign.

Cowgirls

Brands like Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang and House of Holland headed to the Wild West for FW 2017, but, for us, the best was Coach. Creative director Stuart Vevers鈥� collection was pioneer-themed, with fringing and patchwork. We鈥檙e hoping a version of horse print will make it to the high street this season.

Workwear

OK, we鈥檙e calling it workwear for the sake of variety, but really it鈥檚 just the good old Canadian tux. And there was no doubt which was our favourite rendition: Dior鈥檚 guerrilla-inspired look, with Che Guevara-style beret and a shoulder bag worn with the studded strap across the chest so it looked like an ammunition belt. New head designer Maria Grazia Chiuri鈥檚 second collection for the brand was almost entirely in navy blue, our pick of colours for the season.

Masculine tailoring

Power suits and masculine tailoring have stuck around from last Fall/Winter. This time, the colour is an 鈥淚 mean business鈥漡rey with a subtle check. We鈥檙e particularly keen on Balenciaga鈥檚 dramatic asymmetric coat.
