Fall Trend 3: Military

Elements inspired by- if not taken directly from- military uniforms are popular for the fall season. And not just modern uniforms: contrast Dolce & Gabbana's coats inspired by 19th-century European livery with Louis Vuitton's jacket, which would look right at home on a 21st-century fighter pilot. Boots, as mentioned above, are certainly important in designers' collections; but so are belted jackets, double-breasted coats, brass buttons, epaulets and braiding. Olive, brown and black are common colors, and reinforce the military connection.
