While New York Fashion Week wasn’t its former self yet again, this season’s collections still have some things in common. Pretty amazing since we were treated to a mix of live shows, lookbooks and multimedia presentations. Another interesting takeaway? The top New York Fashion Week Fall 2021 trends are ones we’ve seen before.
There is one clear winner when it comes to the color of the season. Not to mention several already established chilly-weather patterns are back in play. You’ll be happy to hear that something you’ve probably already got hanging or folded neatly in your closet will still be relevant come September.
It’s also important to note that there’s lots of overlap. The hottest hue is prominently featured in prevailing patterns. It even works its way into that previously cited investment (wink, wink) piece you may already own.
Ready to discover what’s going to be on the top of every fall must-have list? Scroll through the slideshow above to reveal the top New York Fashion Week Fall 2021 trends.

Florals Fit for Fall
Florals are naturally associated with spring, but they also work in fall. Especially when the bouquets are paired with moody backgrounds. Texture, like quilting or velvet, also helps the blooms thrive in chilly temps.

Still Mad for Plaid
Plaid is an all too familiar sight in fall. This season brands fell into two tartan categories: preppy and punk rock. The yellow leggings at R13 made us want to blast the Sex Pistols. While Jason Wu and Ulla Johnson’s coats offered more prep school vibes.

Sweater (Vest) Weather
If you’ve already stocked up on sweater vests, good news. They’ll still be in style come fall. This time around simple sleeveless versions were favored. Although there were a few V-necks thrown in for good measure.
