When we watch everything from silk midi skirts [1] to boyfriend jeans [2]; tulle ballgowns and cashmere knits alike walk the runways from season to season, we are immediately hit with the urge to try it all. And then, as visible trends begin to emerge, we're even more excited to start shopping for the most popular looks of the season and incorporate them into our own seasonal wardrobes. The only problem is, translating a runway look to the streets of the concrete jungle you call home isn't all that easy. Sure, you can always take cues from a colour palette or material, but we want to make sure you're able to go well beyond the basics, especially this Fall. Ahead, find the biggest runway trends of the Fall 2019 [3] season and how we're wearing them in our own lives.
Edgy Black Lace: On The Runway
Designers like Preen by Thonton Bregazzi took the ultimate in dainty feminine trends and turned it on its head. In a deep black tone, the romantic nature of sheer lace is made more edgy and strong than ever before.
Edgy Black Lace: On The Street
To incorporate this look into your own closet, consider pairing it with softer tones to re-introduce that feminine nature that's so integral in the lace material.

Sweater Dressing: On The Runway
While knitwear is always a huge seasonal trend, designers such as Bottega Veneta suggested that we wear it in new and interesting ways. Why settle for a cardigan or turtleneck when you can choose a dress or skirt instead?
Sweater Dressing: On The Street
This fall, pair knits with knits by opting for a sweater-style midi skirt and styling it with a brightly coloured oversized sweater on top.

Tie-Dye: On The Runway
Tie-dye hit it big for Spring, but Fall collection like that from Prabal Gurung reminded us that the colourful trend has a place in our colder-weather wardrobes as well.
Tie-Dye: On The Street
We love the idea of turning tie-dye into a more elevated look by way of midi dress silhouettes and elegant fabrics like silk and cashmere.

Victorian-Inspired: On The Runway
Brock Collection is one of the leaders when it comes to that Victorian-inspired look and the design duo has shown us that the sky is the limit when it comes to ruffles, brocades, corsets, and more for Fall.
Victorian-Inspired: On The Street
While the Victorian trend can seem overly stuffy at times, consider mixing brocade tops with jeans, layering corsets over more casual wears, and opting for fabrics like silk chiffon that have a little more movement to them.
Brock Collection
Brock Collection Plantano Floral Cotton-Blend Jacquard Cropped Top [13] ($1400).
Rebecca Taylor

Utility Jupsuits: On The Street
Casual as the utility jumpsuit might be (and we fully embrace styling it with sneakers or ankle booties!), consider pairing it with a block heel and structured bag to kick the look up a notch this season.

Alex Mill Expedition Jumpsuit [16] ($198).
Apiece Apart
Apiece Apart Plus Size Azore Jumpsuit [17] ($445).

After-Hours Suiting: On The Runway
We're all about the borrowed-from-the-boys suiting look, but it's fully exploded in the after-hours thanks to the likes of Saint Laurent and more. Whether white or black, go sleek or go home this Fall with your suiting that's fit for the most stylish of parties.
After-Hours Suiting: On The Street
Don't be afraid to show a little skin with your suiting look, as long as the activity allows. Slip into a crop top or bralette underneath your fanciest of tuxes for a masculine-meets-feminine look that wows.

The "old Celine" is back thanks to…drumroll please…the new Celine. Transport yourself back to the 1970s in Europe and the UK with plaids, houndstooth checks, double-breasted blazers, and more.

Shades of Green: On The Runway
Each season, there's a single colour that seems to stand out among the crowd and Fall 2019 is calling for green—in every tone, silhouette, and material. Designers like Veronica Beard proved that there's no limit to what can be styled in everything from emerald to hunter and beyond.
Shades of Green: On The Street
We love a contrasting colour when it comes to our green wears this Fall, incorporating everything from light-catching metallics to bright pops of pink in our otherwise monochromatic looks.

Sequins for daytime are back and Sally LaPointe has proved that there's nearly nowhere that you can't wear the textured and flashy material. A personal favourite is this pair of high-waisted pants, effortlessly paired with a slouchy cashmere knit.
Daytime Sequins: On The Street
Don't be afraid to mix high and low this Fall, especially when it comes to sequins. One of our favourite looks to-date is the sequin skirt and T-shirt combo that you can wear morning, noon, and night…all year long.

Quilting: On The Runway
Quilting is not just fit for a down puffer, especially if Oscar de la Renta has anything to say for it. While you might not specifically be in the market for a strapless ball gown, it sure does look awesome to mix that unique texture into an otherwise Old Hollywood-inspired look.
Quilting: On The Street
We love a contrast between the nature of a quilted texture and the silhouette in question, opting for ultra-feminine tops, mini skirts, and more that follow the seasonal trend.
