I'm fresh from a few days at the fashion trade shows (a trend forecast for fall/winter '16/'17 is coming soon to The Key To Chic), and all the fashion forecasters can talk about are a few new-ish silhouettes including: duster coats, turtlenecks, A-line skirts, flared pants, and block-heeled boots. I'm inspired by many of the things I photographed at the shows, and I'm ready to update my wardrobe with some key items for the new season. Think '60s meets '70s with a nod to menswear and an emphasis on fabrics such as suede, brushed wool, mohair, silk, and denim. Oh, and shoes! Since I'm a shoe addict, I'm enamored with the mod '60s-inspired block-heeled bootie; it's my must-have shoe for fall, and it pairs perfectly with another great piece that I've seen just about everywhere - the button-front A-line mini.
