Coats, coats, and more coats were expectedly spotted all throughout fashion month considering temperatures were low. This year, however, the coats had one common theme—extraordinary textures. Between colorful faux fur, shiny vinyl, and soft leather, the outerwear this season screamed "touch me" to everyone who encountered it.

There have been a lot of crazy bag trends lately, but the most recent one takes us to a safer place, a neutral place. Neutral handbags are officially a "trend," which makes us all let out a little sigh of relief as we begin to invest in carryalls we can actually carry with all our outfits.

Another trend that has yet to kick the bucket? White shoes. Street style stars took a particular liking to the trend, wearing them with everything from colored tights to suits and back again, ultimately proving the versatility of this (soon to be timeless?) shoe trend.

We'd like to wrap up this street style trend report with the resurrection of the classic trench. No, the style itself wasn't necessarily resurrected, but the cool-factor of the trench was, and that's something to write home about. Either pull out the trench coat you have stuffed in your closet somewhere or shop the ones below because the trench is officially the talk of the town.
