Now that fashion month is over, we’ve scoured the shows and perused thousands of looks from New York, London, Milan, and Paris for common themes — fabrics and silhouettes that will be popular in magazine editorials (fringe and platforms), as well as the looks you’ll actually aspire to wear. Retro, ‘70s-esque tailoring made a comeback at labels like Louis Vuitton, as did bold floral prints (at Céline), free-lovin’ bohemia, and a shocking amount of denim. Click through the slideshow below to see the 13 top trends for next spring, and be well on your way to a better grasp of the coming season.

'70s Tailoring Last season was all about the mod '60s, so it was almost inevitable that the '70s were in focus this time around. Long, lean silhouettes took shape at Emilio Pucci and Giambattista Valli, while Prada and Gucci used topstiched details to evoke a modern-day jet set.

Return of the Platform Flats may still be prevalent and less a trend than a reality these days, but the chunky platform is inching back into the limelight.

A New Neckline Portrait necklines and similar styles with exposed shoulders were both pretty and popular at the shows (seen at Balenciaga, Simone Rocha, Delpozo, among others). The off-the-shoulder look will likely pick up even more steam due to Amal Alamuddin's most recent Oscar de la Renta stunner.
