The official start of fashion month is just weeks away (three weeks and three days to be exact, but who's counting?), and in anticipation of our favorite time of the year, we're scouting out the top trends of the season. Sure to be worn by designers, celebrities, and street style stars alike, we've rounded up the top five trends you can feel comfortable splurging on. For starters, it's time to really invest in the trend that's popped up for F/W every year: leather, leather, and a bit more leather. Top it off with square-toe shoes (we're partial to these pretty Gucci option) and a timeless trench. Don't forget fall's It hue, pistachio green: It's romantic, versatile, and universally flattering. Scroll to shop the top trends, available now at NET-A-PORTER.
