Last season we were wooed by huge boots, chunky jackets, and pants that merited the This season blah... no new shapes...endless Project Runway inspired trends (rosettes and sparkle overload ie Laura Bennet)
Overall the runway's were rather uninspired. On the positive side this means you'll be shelling out less. Despite the criticism a few interesting and easy on the wallet trends emerged1. primary colors
expect the basic black, white, and red of last season to be joined by canary yellow, candy apple green, and cobalt blue. Think colors you can find in the 8 box of crayons not neon or pastels.
Your wallet will appreciate that this trend is limited to accessories.2. Future
Dolce and Gabbana, Versace, and Balenciaga (the house behind the much photographed bag on the hands of Nicole, Kate, and Mary Kate)
favored a futuristic/dominatrix tone. Most people won't be walking down the street in PVC outfits. 
To channel this trend without looking like a streetwalker or a person walking to the D&D convention wear lucite or fetish heels. Here's your long awaited excuse to wear hooker heels. 
3. Menswear
Menswear will never go out of style. It made a particularly strong showing last season and it's still going strong. As in most instances this trend is NOT meant to be interpreted literal. Do not wear head to toe menswear unless you have been doing so prior to this season and have your own established style. Or are Katie Homles attempting to chanel Jackie O
But watch out 
Buy menswear inspired pieces a vest, blazer, button up are all great investment pieces because they go w/everything and will never go out of style. Try to contrast these pieces w/fem accessories...the peep-toe heels from last season are great.
