#8: A Shadow Stick
Graphic eyeshadow is my hottest favorite beauty trend for 2015-2016! For a dramatic eye look, try an eye shadow stick in a deep, bold color that gives a colorblocking look. This trend was seen in the runway collections of Dior, Chanel and Celine amongst others. For a more subtle look, try a shadow stick in a light color like pale burgundy, gold, peach or pink.
#9: Embellished Round Sunglasses
Round and cat-eye sunglasses are the hottest styles right now. Read more about all the latest trends here: Latest Fall Trends for Sunglasses. Here’s our pick of Chanel round embellished sunglasses:
#10: A Statement Belt
Kendall Jenner makes a great case for statement belts. Need we say more?

Slit dresses and skirts are all the rage in Fall/Winter 2015-2016. They were all over the runways for Fall/ Winter 2015-2016 couture AND Spring/ Summer 2016 RTW. Plus, celebs have been spotted in thigh-grazing slit skirts that have been showstoppers!
#12: The Top-Handle Micro Bag
Micro bag won the Vogue It-Bag 2015 votes, and top handle is a super-cool trend for Fall/ Winter. For including in the must have fashion trends for Fall 2015, I recommend the Lady Dior top-handle micro-bag!
