As the mornings grow darker and the taste of a perfect pumpkin spice latte becomes ever more enticing, the fashion trends of this festive season are in full swing. Designers all the way from Balenciaga to Zara have set the styles this season as a response to both to contemporary global affairs and the reoccurring themes in fashion. For Fall 2018 the major trends to watch for are militarism, 80’s, western, plaid/checkered, and florals.
