HOT

Quilting

We are inspired by Balenciaga's futuristic take on packaging.

Buckle-adorned shoes

There's plenty to choose from: Miu Miu's pretty flowers to Zanotti's multistrap buckled booties.

Classic bootleg jeans

Coming back to a store near you (thank God!).

Gold bangles

Layer thin styles for a cool look under a khaki jacket.

NOT

Platform tennis shoes

Platforms can't save an ugly shoe.

Raffia

It looks cheap compared with autumn's luxe fabrics.

Bell-bottoms

Celebrities may love them but we don't.

Marc Jacobs oiled up and in the buff

Is it just us, or does his new perfume ad make you nauseous?
