Now that fashion month is behind us, we can take a deeper dive and reexamine the runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris in search of trends we can expect to see in magazines and on the streets next fall. The forecast: The ‘70s may have been the inspirational decade of spring, but the ‘80s will be having a moment next season. Fabrics will grow richer in texture (think brocades and velvet) and super-sparkly (Lurex and sequins for days), and you may even want to experiment with season-atypical pastels. And should you feel like you cannot keep up with the times, Victorian fashion is here for you. Click ahead for a primer on the 13 trends you can expect to see next season.

Boss Tweeds Perhaps the most popular fabric this season, tweed (in checks and herringbone) was everywhere this season. It came in the form of coats, pants, and little layered tops, appearing at Prada, Haider Ackermann, Miu Miu, and, of course, Chanel. Photo: Imaxtree

Velvet Another popular fabric was smooth, soft, and seasonally appropriate velvet. It came in the form of masculine suits and sexy corsetry and in rich hues. It showed up at Givenchy, Sonia Rykiel, and Valentino, to name a few. Photo: Imaxtree

New Victoriana Designers went way, way back this season, channeling the Victorian era with high, frilly collars and sumptuous fabrics. The look popped up everywhere from Givenchy to Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs. Photo: Imaxtree

Fastenating This season, it was all in the details: At Edun and Calvin Klein Collection, large round buttons made a statement, while at Proenza Schouler and Sonia Rykiel, punched-out grommets were used as decorative finishes.

Glitterama Not in any recent season have we seen so much sparkle. Glitzy Lurex, shiny lamé, and sequins showed at Marco de Vincenzo, Lanvin, and J.W. Anderson — which made for a glittering array of Instagram photos. Photo: Imaxtree

Black-and-White Geometry Black-and-white geometrics came in the form of voluminous shapes as well as linear designs. A relatively easy color combination to pull off, the fun came in the silhouettes: There were honeycomb forms at Junya Watanabe and gridlike shapes at Balenciaga. Photo: Imaxtree

High Lacquer Glossy, lacquered fabrics will surely look great when photographed. While it was popular in slick coat form, there were also great shiny lacquered boots that stood out at Dior.

'80s Babes While the '70s dominated spring, the '80s made a comeback this season, which will surely land a ton of editorials. From power shoulders at Saint Laurent, to J.W. Anderson's slouchy leather boots (even prissy Laura Ashley–like blouses at Miu Miu), the runways were totally '80s. Photo: Imaxtree

Heavy Upholstery Minimalists take note: Rich upholstered fabrics were big for the season, making a strong case for opulence. Beautiful brocades and damask were wonderfully layered, as if you were on a journey wearing all of your beloved clothing all at once. (It was so strong at Dries Van Noten, we almost wanted to furnish our homes with his lineup.) Photo: Imaxtree

A surprising palette of baby pinks, lavenders, and sky blues were all over the place this season — and especially noticeable at Prada. The softness continued onward through Paris at Loewe and Saint Laurent. It will be interesting to see if this trend hits the street, and how it plays with all the jewel tones.  Photo: Imaxtree

Built-In Stoles With collars this fabulous, who needs a scarf next season? Furry trimmings came on comforterlike coats at Fendi and even a great everyday army parka at 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Pieced Out There was something comforting about all the patchwork we saw this season. Whether they involved mixed media or leather on leather, these looks had a highly designed and cheerful homemade spirit. Photo: Imaxtree

Eyes on Your Thighs There is no denying that teeny-tiny skirts and raised hemlines are a thing of the future (thanks, Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein Collection, and Rodarte). Act now and start those lunges. Photo: Imaxtree
