  • Greens got lots of trend mentions
  • Browns advanced noticeably
  • The newest grays came with purple overtones

  • Bouclé took off in all-over and ascent roles
  • Matelassés got a foothold
  • Distressed textures covered the market in every fabric
  • Embroidered looks meant more
  • Ribbon yarn emerged in upstairs collections
  • New: barkcloth looks

PATTERNS AND MOTIFS

  • Jacobean florals showed up often, and in large scale
  • Chanel-inspired tweeds became the go-with-anything choice
  • Pieced and boxed-up looks were comfortable in multiple styles
  • Peacocks and their feathers kept showing up
