The pre-fall collections are hitting stores and so are the pre-fall trends and one major pre-fall trend is LEATHER! The pre-fall collections and the fall collections were full of leather filled items so get your wardrobe ready for a leather invasion. Dresses,skirts,jackets, and pants are all in the very trendy fabric of leather this season or for you budget girls pleather. So get ready for a new cool biker jacket,fab sleek black leather work/cocktail dress and cool leather pants to give u a rock n roll edge that you can wear with your tweeds and classy blazers. The leather trend is all about being cool,urban and having that rock n roll edge but also adapting all these things and making it look normal and very stylish! Here is a fab selection of major leather items that are prefect for this season, there not in everyones price range so they can inspire to find similar pleather pieces on the highstreet. The hairstylist,who cut abbreviated bangs and precision bobs at Calvin Klein, swears the inspiration was 1920s flappers and Bauhaus architecture, but the impact Dutch model Patricia van der Vliet and her fellow mannequins made on the runway carried over across the pond, where The Rooney Effect, as it came to be known, popped up at shows from Antonio Berardi in London to Versace in Milan. The simplicity of bare skin against a deep, black-cherry lip, or dark, kohl-rubbed eyes set in contrast to a muted nude mouth created powerfully feminine statements. For the first time in a very long time, blondes were a distinct minority on the runways And the brunettes were the favored girls it all started in new york and carried through the season so brunettes its your time to shine! In a season rife with opulent ornamentation, all manner of braid and twist—from soft and sweet to clean and sleek—emerged as another expression of texture and embellishment. Likely the most unexpected shades for eyes, reds and oranges—from bold to muted—emerged as new colors of choice on key runways. In keeping with the season’s move away from bronzer and gold accents, cool touches of silver and white brought light to the face. Makeup artists played with black liquid liner in creative new ways elongating eyes by sketching precision lines toward the inner corner, creating “floating” flicks above the outer corner, and exaggerating the classic wing to add sharp detail to otherwise bare faces. This season, there is a brow for everyone: bleached, bold, virtually untouched, or . . . jeweled. The red lip never really disappears, but this season it was brighter, and bolder than ever—the ultimate accessory for power dressing often velvety matte in texture, and suggested by designers for both nightand day. The pale lip never looked as pretty as on this fall’s runways. From glossy blush-tones to near-invisible matte flesh-tones, the muted mouth added a spare, understated softness that played perfectly against the season’s emphasis on impeccable skin.
Fur accents and jewel-box ornamentation at the neck (and therefore drawing attention around the face) were everywhere this season in the form of brooches like those at Bottega Veneta, so deliberately placed that it was hard to tell if they were a separate item or part of the dress, fabulous fur collars , and knit snoods that offered the same idea, but for a more downtown clientele. 
Jewel box ornamentation is the new idea of adornment, with beads, gems and stones placed where real jewelry might once have been on, say, the neck or the collar. 
Furs were patchworked, collaged, and constructed in new, youthful ways that reenergized and reintroduced the idea of the fur coat to a new generation of women. And when it wasn’t full-on, it was an accent—whether as a detachable collar or trimming a sleeve, hem, or pocket.  This season velvet made a major return, designers have been showing it in causual and glam looks this season so next fall you will definitely be seeing some velvet somewhere!!!

Call it the Downton Abbey effect, but a whiff of Edwardian tweedy country elegance hung in the air this season it was old manor house meets the stylish 21st century girl we saw at a few collections this season. Think english countryside with period element!!! 
note the tweed farmers hat and country jacket also the shoes are very english country!!!
Tommy Hilfiger captured this trend with the country equestrianism looks and tadashi was more a literal downton abbey collection 
Ralph lauren and burberry captured this trend in the best way this season. Ralph showed a very literal downton and fabulous collection and burberry showed the more modern advanced collection for this trend. So think country tweeds,equestrian boots,edwardian gowns for evening,winter knits,plaid and a little bit of drama and costume for example top hat and kane or farmers tweed hat can really make this look prefect for the downton abbey effect trend here are some more examples enjoy!!!
