Any of these trends work for you or  are you on the hunt for something new? Please post your finds or your wish list items

I already wear leather, pink, velvet and some metallics. Have a couple of great DKNY body suits from past seasons with cold shoulder details in cotton/rayon and another in velvet.

The 10 Most Wearable Trends For Fall '16

In its wake, Fashion Week left hundreds of runway shows and countless styles. Months after daydreaming about when we could wear the Fall '16 looks from catwalk, the time is finally here.

To make things easy on you, we're breaking it all down right here: a hit list of the top 10 trends you'll probably be wearing in just a few weeks' time. Read on for the full report or skip to the trend you want to get ahead of the game for next season.

Leather Weather

Designers looked to leather to craft coats in sleek silhouettes. Don't be fooled, these styles range from your classic trench varieties to street-ready, slashed versions we saw at Alexander Wang.

Think Pink

Forget what you thought you knew about Fall colors — designers are inviting you to embrace a fresh palette, namely a rosy, pretty pink. Whether splashed on a coat or worn head to toe, it's softening up Fall clothes, though it's not as sweet as you might remember.

All Checked Out

The pattern that took over on the runway was obvious and it seems designers across the board were having plaid thoughts. There were simpler, cleaner iterations, though some skewed more schoolgirl or even Western-inspired.

Pretty One-Sided

For seasons now, we've seen the ruwnay deliever a riff on the off-the-shoulder neckline. For Fall, the cut is asymmetrical, revealing just one side for subtle sex appeal.

The Velvet Touch

When the chill sets in this Fall, you'll be thrilled velvet is having its moment. Designers showcased the luxe fabric on dresses and suiting — even track suiting — making it the favored texture of the season.

Jump-Start

Designers introduced creative layers, evolving the dress into a jumper this season. The result is a sophisticated, modern version of the one you might have worn back in school

All Tied Up

The fashion world's fixation with scarves and bandanas evolved into Fall's bow blouses and ribbon neckties. In our books, that makes accessorizing easy.

Liquid Metal

Sparkle was done with a subtler touch this season, albeit with results that are just as eye-catching — only easier to wear. Metallics seemed melted into fabrics, glassy and liquid-like, so the pieces look even better when they move

X Marks the Spot

Woven fabrics and lace-ups were used to create texture and dimension, making these subtle crisscrossed patterns a hot comodity for Fall.

"Granny" Chic

With polished silhouettes and luxurious finishes, these coats feel as if they were plucked straight from the closets of your chic grandmothers

Great timing.  I have been having a hard time getting rid of favorites I no longer need but they fit.  There goes my downsizing in my closet.  At 71 I have worn a similar version of several of those styles.  I will shop my extra closet and fill in with something special when I find it.  Again, good styles never go away they just step aside for a season or 2.  Thanks for sharing.

this seems to have little to do with the QVC customer. Probably 1% of the population represented by the models even have the figures to wear the clothes and who would want to spend the money. Pink?  Leather?  Velvet?  Granny clothes?  What's new?Most of us can dig into our closets and find all of that right now. 

I'm tall and a former model and I buy my clothes from QVC. I want to please my self and the man in my life. Not other women.

I have a leather trench, the rest didn't interest me at all. Interesting thread however.

Interesting article - thanks for posting it!

I'm not wowed by most of it - which isn't unusual. Fall doesn't get me excited; I'm a summer girl.

I do like metallic fabrics. I like the idea of a dressy look without a lot of beading and sequins. 

Pink is my best color, but this pink is a warm shade and not flattering on me. (I ordered a top in Rosebud from Talbot's - the same shade - and it was a big fail.)

I bought more than usual last winter. I can take my time and choose very carefully this year.
