The Top 18 Trends, Ideas, and Styling Tricks We Loved from Spring 2017 LFW

Body Blooms

Attention, festival regulars! Preen's ethereal petal appliqués—elegantly trailing down the neck and arm of each model—are a refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous flower crown look. Worried the effect may be too intense IRL? Stick to just a few accents peeking beneath loose hair and an off-the-shoulder top.

The Jewelry at Shrimps

Just more more reason to fall in love with Hannah Weiland's cheeky graphic tops, and colorful fur jackets: equally charming earrings (made in collaboration with designer Sophie Bille Brahe) adorned with a pearl and golden crustacean. Get it?!

Pinstripe Parade

Burberry's slouchy pajama pieces, reworked shirting at Phoebe English, Mulberry's mash-up of both—there's a lot of new ways to wear lean, vertical lines this season. Good luck choosing just one.

Victorian Necklines

Covered up, but hardly conservative, high ruffled collars proved a compelling counterpoint to slivers of exposed skin (as seen at both Erdem and David Koma) and statement suiting (at Burberry).

Graphic Garden Prints

While florals for spring feels like a given, there's nothing expected about the cartoonish daisy motifs we saw at Christopher Kane. Paul Smith's abstracted bouquets—rendered in a vivid rainbow of shades—also gave the classic motif new life.

Palm Trees

When we noticed these playful island touches on Victoria Victoria Beckham's denim separates and the relaxed linen maxis at Peter Pilotto, it was hard not to miss summer. Is it too soon to start our next vacation?

A Nod to Paco Rabanne

Both Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou put their own spin on the '60s designer's avant-garde method with graphic chainmail dresses and unexpected touches of metal netting. Risk-taskers, this one's for you.

Pinafore Ruffles

Neckline flounces felt more sophisticated than school girl courtesy of the ladylike prints and elegant silhouettes at Erdem, Simone Rocha, and Mulberry.

Even More Fashion Squads

Looks like it might be time to bring the #squadgoals hashtag out of retirement. Picking up where NYFW's matchy-matchy marches left off, several shows—including Charlotte Olympia, Anya Hindmarch, and House of Holland—incorporated a gang of coordinating girls. Taylor Swift, are you taking notes?

The Beyoncé Effect

Looking to create your own Lemonade moment? You'll have a lot of choices next season. After dominating the fashion at NYFW and last week's Emmy Awards, sunny shades made a strong showing on the London runways as well—here's hoping Milan and Paris follow suit.

'Ugly Shoes' Make a Triumphant Return

Roughly two years after Marc Jacobs and Prada made Tevas cool, Christopher Kane seems to be working the same magic with a marbled bejeweled Crocs. Meanwhile, the UGG collaboration over at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi—chunky platform sandal with leather bows—has us wondering: Is unfashionable footwear back for round two?

Not-so-girly Gingham

Spotted on Pringle of Scotland's sleek slips—worn with lace-up flatforms—in clashing colors at House of Holland, and, in Peter Pilotto's line-up, covered with patches, next season's picnic blanket prints have surprising edge.

Princess Sleeves

Don't worry, only the name sounds prissy. With the help of contrasting elements (layers of moody black eyelet at Simone Rocha, faded denim at Ashley Williams, understated silhouettes at Emilia Wickstead) the look is more high drama than Disney heroine.

Emilia Wickstead's Woven Footwear

We walked away from this presentation convinced that a life without wicker-inspired shoes is not one worth living. As for which color exactly, we're still deciding.

J.W. Anderson's Bag Piercings

Just in case you missed the brand's first round of spectrum ring-inspired purses (the style debuted to great fanfare last spring), there's a covetable batch of new silhouettes and colors to choose from. We've got our eyes on these three.

Clothes That Raise Questions

Single earrings that attach to your neckline? A dress-trench coat hybrid? Layered sarong tops? We're not quite sure of where or how to wear these things, but we would really like to find out.

Headband Remix

The new rules for adorning your hair? There are none. From whimsical fascinators at Bora Aksu to the casually draped white fabric at Anya Hindmarsh, to Mary Katranzou's colorful coronets, London's latest headgear is all about making a memorable statement.

See Now, Buy Now

All the straight-from-the-runway shopping we saw at NYFW continued across the pond with both a selection of pieces from Topshop (pictured) and Burberry's entire(!) collection. The "fashion groupie" tees from House of Holland's final walk—worn by the models in honor of the label's 10th anniversary—are also available online right now.
