NYFW 2013: Trends, Part II

The closing week of New York Fashion Week featured some of our favorite designers -- 3.1 Phillip Lim, The Row, Proenza Schouler, Thakoon, and so much more. Here are some of the trends we noticed from their shows!

Minimal Monochrome
Dress down office-y pieces like pencil skirts or blazers with a bright color, minimal make-up and accessories, and strappy heels.

Tea length skirts were on numerous designers' runways paired with cool, short tops and a variety of hairstyles.

Edgy and Sheer
A little sheer, a lot of edge -- unique patterns and silhouettes kept the diaphanous material fresh on the catwalks of everyone, including seasoned Fashion Week veterans Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera, and Phillip Lim.

Desert Adventures
This spring dress for an adventure -- think of being whisked off on a jet to the infinite desert, a private island, a white sand beach.
