The heels are off after New York Fashion week, but only for a breather as London fashion week kicked off yesterday.
Here are five of the biggest trends we can now add to our wish lists, starting with my fave :)


Oversized coats

The oversized coat was present at nearly every show, they range from broad military coats with big pockets, ankle length with tweed shoulder pads as seen at Proenza Schouler to elegant coat dresses.

Wide Trousers                                                  

So this season will give our little legs a chance to breath as there were hardly any slim legged trousers to be seen. Although these might be a comfier option, it doesn't mean they are the boring option, teamed with a conversational tee will give you that edge. Karen Walker's models really know how to work these as they strut down the runway below.


I don't know what Marc Jacobs was thinking with these outfit combinations, maybe too much coffee was consumed the night before, but tucking your socks into your trousers is a big NO NO! I wont lie, I might do this at home when there's no chance on earth anyone will see me but seriously in public.....hmm....

                                                                                                                      
The Suit

A lot of designers featured their own versions of the suit in their collections.Some of my favourites were The Row, Sass & Bide and Jason Wu. I don't really need to say much more on this, we can never go without a nice suit ladies.

                                             
                                                     





The Turtleneck 

The turtleneck has made a big comeback this season, I never thought I'd be one to even consider wearing one of these but after seeing what came out during the week I'm very tempted. There's a turtleneck out there for everyone this season as they came in so many different forms: a crop top, oversized and chunky, a long dress or to be worn under a buttoned blouse.   
The Row most definitely got a thumbs up from me!

                                                                     




The Flared skirt

The flared skirt stole the show in New York, the two main contenders were Derek Lam with his below the knee and Proenza Schouler with his ankle length pencil skirt.
