It’s no secret that we love to imagine what the future will look like. Just look at Hollywood for inspiration: From Disney’s Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century and The Matrix to Back to the Future, we have a general idea of what to anticipate—and yes, that includes the futuristic outfits. Luckily, if the F/W 18 runways were any indication, you don’t have to travel to the future to experience the intergalactic sci-fi vibes. This fall, with the jaw-dropping iridescent and holographic pieces plus PVC coats Nero would approve of, all you have to do is dress the part.
Of course, dressing like you time-traveled from the future is easier said than done. That’s why we rounded up the coolest looks from our favorite fashion girls to spark some sartorial inspiration for your next outfit. Keep reading to see how they take on the trend now.
