Blue hues remained a front-runner with designers like Valentino, Chloé, and Carven showing us their most tailored ladylike renditions. Plaid patterns ranged from punk to polished, while oversize coats were offered up in every variety thanks to Miu Miu, Balmain, and Dries Van Noten. Additionally, designers like Alexander McQueen and Chanel showcased some exciting head adornments and new neck gear to look forward to in the future. There's more where that came from; click on to see our top 10 trends from Paris Fashion Week right now.

It's Prime Time to Invest in Chic Culottes — Here's Why

Shorts come in all sizes and shapes, but the culottes craze has us especially smitten.

Shorts come in all sizes and shapes, but the culottes craze has us especially smitten. Spotted first on the streets of Paris Fashion Week — and on the runways of Etro, Marni, and Rag & Bone — this effortlessly chic silhouette is perfect for just about any occasion. And with Summer almost here, we think they're the coolest way to let your legs breathe. Here's how to work it:

  • For a bold take on culottes, pick a printed and/or colorful style. For a subtle approach, go for a solid in a dark hue.
  • We love the idea of pairing a silk-patterned rendition with a loose tank and low-heeled sandals for daytime.
  • When it's time for work, go for a more structured shape, then throw on a button-down and a blazer for further polish.
  • To rock your culottes for nighttime, just add a leather or sequined tank and the highest of heels.

Pastels and School-Girl Inspiration Are Trending at Paris Fashion Week!

Pastels are no longer just for Spring.
by

Pastels are no longer just for Spring. New York Fashion Week ushered in a neutral palette, but Parisian designers took a lighter approach, updating their Fall/ Winter runways with pastel hues. Everything was coated in light candy colors — oversize outerwear, dresses, and even sunglasses! We've also noticed an overarching school-girl theme. Think chic plaid getups, button-ups, and knee-highs. Watch on to hear the rest of our report from the City of Light! On Allison McNamara: Sea dress, Luv Aj necklace and ring.

Don't Be Shy: How to Pull Off Bold Prints For Spring '13

Bold, punchy prints ruled the Spring 2013 collections, with designers like Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Proenza Schouler all sending gorgeous, eye-catching patterns down their runways.

Bold, punchy prints ruled the Spring 2013 collections, with designers like Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Proenza Schouler all sending gorgeous, eye-catching patterns down their runways. And while it's not the easiest trend to pull off, when done correctly, it's a look that will strike gold.

Ease into the trend by sticking to one key piece (like a bold printed blouse or knee-length dress) and keeping your accessories simple, like with nude or black heels. The trick is to keep all eyes on the print, so balancing it with a crisp, solid hue is the way to go. If you're feeling even more brave, then try mixing your patterns: a striped top tucked into floral skinnies looks fresh and fun, and as long as you keep everything in the same color family, you can't fail. For hot-off-the-runway examples of perfect Spring '13 prints, plus the best pieces to snap up now, just click through.

The Top 10 Trends From Milan Fashion Week

With Milan Fashion Week Fall 2013 in our rear view, we've taken stock of the trends to emerge victorious.

With Milan Fashion Week Fall 2013 in our rear view, we've taken stock of the trends to emerge victorious. The rocker-chick movement continued in Milan, but with a decidedly subversive (read: punk) twist, thanks to Versace and Etro. Nipped-in waists at Bottega Veneta and Alberta Ferretti proved that the ladylike look is here to stay, while bolder blues and crisp whites battled it out for Milan's most "reached for" color. Higher modest necklines took the spotlight at Salvatore Ferragamo, sheer paneling made its mark at Missoni, and if you're wondering what the It bag of MFW is, let's just say that coveting one may as well be doctor's orders. For the full breakdown of Milan Fashion Week, see the top 10 trends right this way.

Jessica Chastain's custom Armani Privé gown looked perfect against her ginger locks; Charlize Theron practically glowed against her stark white Christian Dior Haute Couture gown; and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway took home her prize in a pale pink Prada number.

The carpet wasn't the only thing that was red tonight. Some of our favorite actresses — and nominees — arrived at the Academy Awards in the eye-catching hue. Both Sally Field and Jennifer Aniston reached for Valentino dresses; Field opted for a long-sleeved number with semisheer panels, while Aniston decided on a timeless princess-gown silhouette. Not to be outdone, Olivia Munn and Marcia Gay Harden went for body-con gowns, also in the standout color. One thing's for sure: these ladies certainly painted Hollywood's biggest night red.

Oscars Trendspotting: Backwards Necklaces

Sparkling jewels and statement accoutrements are all part of the Oscars red-carpet formula, but this latest styling trick has it backwards (literally).
by

Sparkling jewels and statement accoutrements are all part of the Oscars red-carpet formula, but this latest styling trick has it backwards (literally). According to Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway, necklaces are just as glamorous from the back, leaving much of the "wow" factor for the parting glance. Lawrence draped a long 74-carat Chopard diamond bead necklace against her subtly embroidered white-and-pale-pink Christian Dior Couture gown, invoking an old-school kind of elegance. While Hathaway — now the winner of the best supporting actress award — went for a bolder look with a tassel-infused Tiffany & Co. necklace. Are you feeling the role reversal of tonight's most gorgeous jewels?
