We all know that the 70’s era has inspired a plethora of fall must-haves – from sophisticated suede to the resurfacing of the glorious bell-bottom – it’s clear that this stylish period has made quite the splash on and off the runways.

But, there is one trend that leaves me both inspired yet unsure – the patchwork craze. It’s reappeared time and time again in Fall 2015 collections and street style stars have even caught wind.

So, let’s take a closer look!

ASOS even tried their hand at patchwork with this fly skirt! Although it’s not as conventional as the Chloé example, it’s a more contemporary version. Sidenote: How amazing is this color scheme?

And, to round things out, we have another sartorial gem from Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2015 collection. Model Ysaunny Brito uplifts numerous autumn trends including floral patchwork, over-the-knee boots, a fringe bag and a pom-pom bracelet.

 

Whew! I’m still in the air over this one, ya’ll!

 

Be real. What do you think?
