While the Spring '16 runways from New York to London and Milan to Paris all brought something distinct, we're breaking it all down to find the big common denominators and the 11 things you'll be wearing in a few short weeks. From sexy bare shoulders and lingerie-inspired dressing to an inventive twist on the classic white shirt, we've got you covered — read on for the biggest trends from all the major runways.
Cold Shoulders
Open, off-the-shoulder necklines have had their moment, but this season, designers took the look a step further with cutouts meant to highlight just the shoulder, making knits more breathable, breezy dresses even breezier, and everything just a little sexier.
White Shirt Redux
Once borrowed from the boys, these white button-downs are all ours now. Buttoned up, ruffled, and slashed, this staple got a high-fashion twist that will make the old favorite a cool-girl Spring essential.
Lingerie by Day
With slips draped on top of tees, our underthings are not so undercover this Spring. These lingerie-inspired pieces might just be the sexiest look you can slip into for Spring — and these slinky silhouettes are made for going out on the town, not just the boudoir.
Art Class
Mixing leather and laces with sheer and sleek fabrications, offering intrigue with lace paneling, and piling on studding, sculptural fabrics, and 3D accents, designers showcased tactile works of art with a whole grab bag of materials.
Pleats Please
Pleating isn't reserved for preps or girlie girls anymore. This time around, designers are transforming silhouettes with sculptural pleats, adding structure and sometimes just a little flirtation, all with the bend of the fabric.
Ruffled Up
Girlie but grown up was everywhere on the runways, as designers added a smattering of ruffles to give looks a flirtatious vibe. Other times, the effect was downright sculptural, giving dimension to tops and sheath dresses with a more contemporary appeal.
Let It Shine
Let's rejoice — Spring '16 brought the high-shine details to everything from everyday shorts to special-occasion cocktail dresses, giving our whole wardrobes a little shimmer. No need to wait for the holidays to get your sparkle on.
Wear Your Stripes
The classic pattern is emboldened for Spring on suiting, sets, and notice-me dresses. And to that point, there's an iteration for every occasion
Victorian Rules
High necklines, ruffled sleeves, and regal details set this lineup of Victorian-era-inspired pieces apart. But rest assured, designers are bringing them into the modern world with short hemlines, sheer finishes, notice-me fabrics, and even denim.
That's a Wrap
Without going too leggy, these wrap skirts will give your look just a hint of skin, so, you know, you can still get away with wearing one to the office.
Get Tied Up
It's never been easier to show off your middle and sculpt an hourglass shape. Designers are out to make the waist the focal point of every outfit with everything from ties over jackets to sashes and belts.
