Though every fashion week we certainly obsess over the outfits on the runway, we've found ourselves becoming more and more intrigued by the fashion off the catwalk. As we look to our fellow fashion mates, we see what's truly stylish right now, in the natural field. And not just stylish, but what the most fashion forward considers cool. See our short list of the SS15 WMCFW fashion and beauty trends from the stands.
Fur finishes: Fashion week goers love their fur—faux or thrift we hope. It mostly left its mark on coats, providing an elevated element to outfits. Women often paired their furry friends with clothing of a more casual nature like ripped denim or minimalist midi skirts.
Runners: If we saw Nike and Adidas sitting front row a few years ago, we'd be scared. Now trainers are a no-brainer. But it's not the ratty ones with dated designs, these runners have seriously stepped up their game; they've completely changed their image from frumpy to fashion savvy.

Messy locks: There was once a time where women would spend hours on their hair before attending a runway show; it was considered impolite not to. Today however, the most stylish women entered the tent with hair tousled to an almost messy extent. So forget finding every strand and putting it into place, the cool weather is bringing a wave of wild.
Black: Black on black on black appears to be the mantra of this season’s attendees. Women forgo colour collaborations in favour of their favourite neutral. And it never seemed to be just one monochrome piece, but rather layer upon layer of darkness. Fashion enthusiasts have always loved the dark side but we had no idea it would be so vast this year.
Leather moto jackets: Unspoken rule (till now): you don’t attend fashion week without a leather moto jacket–again, ideally faux or thrift. It felt as though every well-dressed woman knew about the masculine must-have. What to wear your topper with? Try sweet sheath dresses for a bold juxtaposition or cigarette pants and blocked booties for an urban edge.
