The fall 2014 runways brought clothing reminiscent of the deep freeze we had last winter. Now hitting sales floors are functional pieces like shearling coats, head-to-toe knits, and extra-long scarves. And for anyone less inclined to go full polar vortex, there are little ‘60s dresses and great big coats to cover them up. Click through the gallery ahead to see these trends, plus capes, combat boots, Twiggy lashes, Yves Klein Blue, and one single earring to get you ready for fall.

*This article appears in the August 11, 2014 issue of New York Magazine. All runway images by Imaxtree. Accessories (Céline, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Miu Miu) and Dior and Alexander McQueen dresses shot by Bobby Doherty/New York Magazine.

Yves Klein Blue: The New Navy What is Klein blue, anyway? According to our art critic Jerry Saltz: Around the same time he guided models slathered in paint on canvasses, French proto-Pop artist Yves Klein patented a color: International Klein Blue. In one act Klein touched on self-promotion, cynical naïveté, making the artist part of the act, and the miracle of blueness (the color some scholars claim wasn’t mentioned by Homer). Expect a season with everyone in this intense hue triggering memories of a great artist. Photo: DANIELE OBERRAUCH/IMAXTREE.COM

Clumpy, Day-Later Lashes Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose says that in order to make Twiggy lashes, you need the mascara to be thick at the base and feathery and spiky at the tips. Choose a high-volume, non-dry mascara (so it doesn’t flake) with a big, full brush. Apply one coat, let it dry, and then repeat three or four more times. And if that’s not mod enough, you can put some light-colored eyeliner across the bottom lash line. Clockwise from top left: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Prada, Missoni, and Saint Laurent.

Dramatic Gloves Lots of big-time designers get the bodies of their gloves from LaCrasia, a storefront in midtown presided over by Jay Ruckel, master glove cutter. “They order a plain glove from us,” Ruckel says, “and do with it what they will. If we do gloves for 100 designers, maybe six of them get made after the runway show.”

Mod Milkmaid Braids With inspirations ranging from Bo Derek’s cornrows in 10 to Pippi Longstocking’s pigtails, braids were all over the place. According to John Barrett, of Barrett’s Braids, braids are a perennial trend because they “transcend age.” His salon can do any of the styles pictured here for $125 or less.
