How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Thanks to Wholesale Replica Bag fashion trends, for me, the answer is quite a lot. Designers have been borrowing motifs from Greek and Roman periods and bringing them into our wardrobes. Beautiful draping, asymmetry, ruching, and a neutral color scheme all come together to create a look that even Aphrodite would approve of.

In recent years, denim has appeared every which way. Jeans! Skirts! Bags! Even shoes! The next chapter of denim involves it being a star player in your outerwear collection. We first saw this pop in the form of oversize denim trench coats, but now, expect blazers and even bomber jackets to float your way.

Do you ever fondly think back on your college years? It’s no surprise that fashion designers in Paris are taking inspiration from American-inspired college attire. Think of this as a red carpet approved way to remix your college attire by spotlighting varsity letter jackets, preppy layering, and an Ivy League color scheme.

When Saint Laurent is backing a trend, you just go with it. The collection as shown at Paris Fashion Week was all about utilitarian-inspired safari pieces. The traditional collar and pocketed shirt, leather accessories, and chino fabrics were a big part of this collection. Since other designers followed suit, it’s clear that safari pieces aren’t going anywhere.

Parisians are known for the traditional black-and-white striped long-sleeve tee. It’s come in and out of style so much and at one point even was considered "cheugy.” I’m here to tell you that stripes have officially been reinvented by the people of Paris, and they’re better than ever. Consider mismatching your stripes and wearing them in every which way this season.

Our editor in chief attended Paris Fashion Week, and when she posted the white poplin shirt that floated down the runway at Sacai, I knew there was going to be something worth reporting on here. It felt like every major designer featured a poplin shirt in some way with a twist. At Dior, it was off the shoulder; at Peter Do, it was as oversize as could be; and at Sacai, it was quite boxy. I’m excited to see where a good white shirt can take us next.

To my disdain, a lot of people are "so over” low-rise, and it seems like fashion designers are on the same boat. I barely saw any low-rise pants at Paris Fashion Week, but I did see a lot of extremely high-waisted pants. It almost felt like these pants were mocking those of us who wear low-rise by showing the complete opposite. If you didn’t throw out your high-rise pants yet, you’re a smart person.
