1/133Spring’s most sensual proposition? Bar none, the bevy of lusciously languid styles that are taking lingerie out of the boudoir and onto the street. The ultra-luxurious slip dresses proposed by designers from Céline’s Phoebe Philo to Alexander Wang made one thing clear: All that supple satin and frothy lace were too good for sleeping in, anyway.

11/133From Gucci’s estate sale fantasia to Marc Jacobs’s exuberant ode to Old Hollywood revues, the idea that emerged as most central to fashion’s new mood this season was emotion. In a world that’s more tumultuous than ever, now is the time to embrace an expansive attitude, to take things both familiar and new, hold them close—and of course, wear them.

21/133An unfussy brand of femininity dominated the Spring runways, where ladylike dresses from the likes of Erdem and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini were paired with simple flats and a relaxed attitude.

53/133If there were any lingering doubts as to the workwear staple’s role on the runways, Spring’s jeans should set them straight. Denim got a major upgrade courtesy of everyone from Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton, who showed densely embellished coats in the stuff, to Monsieur Lagerfeld himself, who did a printed gown at Chanel in the fabric that would put your old 501s to shame.

64/133Right in step with the season’s many womanly wiles were the flamenco-tinged tiers and ruffles, countless yards of which adorned gowns from Michael Kors Collection, Oscar de la Renta’s Peter Copping, and J.W.Anderson.

74/133This isn’t the head shop standby. Tie-dye’s new side is simple, sophisticated, and all grown up. Cases in point: Joseph Altuzarra’s seductive, slit-to-there shirtdresses and Narciso Rodriguez’s large-scale take on a languid sheath.

84/133Less look-at-me than gold, this metallic is having a major moment. Seen in reflective leathers, lamé, crinkled silks, or even the “broken glass” spotted at Loewe and Maison Margiela, it makes a high-impact piece out of even the simplest styles.

97/133Are you tough enough? Streetwear’s ongoing influence made its presence known on runways from Balenciaga (luxe boilersuits with utilitarian flair to spare) to Rag & Bone (borrowed-from-the-boys M1-style bombers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon).

111/133The best place to pump up the volume? In your sleeves. Spring saw a bevy of voluminous styles, from the Victorian leg-of-muttons at Jonathan Anderson’s eponymous label to Simone Rocha’s diaphanous, cap-sleeved frocks. Sometimes bigger is better.

121/133Horizontal or vertical, thick or thin, many-hued or monochromatic, stripes emerged from the fray of Spring prints as a clear victor on catwalks from Dior to Dolce & Gabbana. You’ll be hard-pressed to top them in terms of sheer graphic appeal, too.
