Fall 2013 Fashion Week is underway, but the trends from Spring 2013 are just making it to stores now. This season, clothes are black and white (or iridescent) and mod (or fringed) and covered in lace (or ruffles or … snake) when they’re not showing off bellybuttons. And then there are chunky heels, sheer panels, full skirts, daring leather shorts, and a healthy corrective dose of red. Click through the gallery to find 133 pieces of inspiration for what to wear in the months ahead.
