If there was any doubt that camel is the color of the fall season

The month-long round of women's runway shows came to an end Wednesday in Paris, where designers heralded the return of clean, classic sportswear and searched for a new definition of luxury in the fast-moving digital age Michael Kors Gansevoort. Here are six ideas and trends ?spotted in New York, Milan and Paris ?that are likely to influence what women wear this fall and beyond.

If there was any doubt that camel is the color of the fall season, it was cleared up by designer Hannah MacGibbon. Her Chloe collection was a study in the classic hue and every other shade of beige, from caramel to bark to bisque Michael Kors Gansevoort. Camel is a fresh alternative to black, reflecting fashion's renewed interest in classic American-style sportswear, a trend that we saw on the runways in New York at Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Derek Lam, and in Milan at Gucci and Max Mara.

In Paris, nearly every designer had a camel coat on the runway. Chloe's MacGibbon showed sturdy man-tailored camel's hair coats alongside sleek high-waist trousers, dotted bow-front blouses or chambray shirts Michael Kors Gansevoort, and cowboy boots. At Stella McCartney, the camel coat was sportier, more akin to an anorak. At Hermes, it was cut close to the body with a smart black leather collar. Lanvin's camel coat had sculpted power shoulders. Hussein Chalayan showed a camel's hair poncho. And at Martin Margiela, camel came in the form of a classic turtleneck sweater, paired with a crimson red coat ?a color combination that's definitely worth trying on at home Michael Kors Gansevoort.
