Fashion trend report: What to ditch and what to keep for the new season in pics

Showing you which summer trends are out and what they are being replaced with from the autumn/winter 2011 collections.

OUT: Denim, as seen at Derek Lam spring/summer 2011.
IN: Leather, as seen at Louis Vuitton, Marios Schwab and Ralph Lauren autumn/winter 2011.
For spring/summer denim took on a grown up feel making it a wardrobe staple, but for the winter season it is leather that is the must-have.

OUT : Fringing, as seen at Roberto Cavalli spring/summer 2011.
IN: Fur, as seen at Donna Karan, Michael Kors and Valentino autumn/winter 2011.
Fur was seen on almost every autumn/winter catwalk, replacing the fringing trend which covered every surface in the collections earlier in year.

OUT: Tropical prints, as seen at Stella McCartney spring/summer 2011.
IN: Checks, as seen at MaxMara, Rag & Bone and Thakoon autumn/winter 2011.
Checks came in all shapes and sizes, be they tartan, houndstooth or Maasai inspired, for autumn/winter.
OUT: Headscarves, as seen at Roksanda Ilincic spring/summer 2011.
IN: Hats, as seen at Lanvin, Hermes and Moschino autumn/winter 2011.
The whymsical gypsy girl from the spring/summer season was nowhere to be seen on the autumn/winter catwalks. Instead hats came down the runways in all shapes and sizes.

 

OUT : Big hair, as seen at Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2011.
IN : Slick ponytails, as seen at Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Christopher Kane autumn/winter 2011.
Put away your crimpers and go for the slicked back look with this season's ponytail. Perhaps the easiest - and least expensive - of the trends to master!

OUT : Bianca Jagger, as seen at Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer 2011.
IN: Twiggy, as seen at Burberry, Prada and Bottega Veneta autumn/winter 2011.
Flouncy disco inspired clothes may have had their last dance, and are promptly being replaced by graphic, 60's shifts.

OUT: Maxi-dresses, as seen at Erdem spring/summer 2011.
IN : Tunic and trousers, as seen at Diane von Furtenburg, Michael Kors and Osman autumn/winter 2011.
Longline tunic tops, paired with trousers is the new approach to evening wear, so store away your maxis in the coming months.

OUT: Nude, as seen at Roland Mouret spring/summer 2011.
IN: Gold, as seen at Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana and Balmain autumn/winter 2011.
A high shine opulence gave the nude trend a glamourous gold reinvention.

OUT: White, as seen at Dolce & Gabbana spring/summer 2011.
IN: Black, as seen at Alexander Wang and Chanel autumn/winter 2011.
The winter months normally see a greater number of darker clothes, however this season many of the designers went fully back to black.

OUT: Zebra print, as seen at Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2011.
IN: Snakeskin, as seen at Gucci, Chloe and Prada autumn/winter 2011.
Keeping it on the wild side, designers have replaced the swathes of zebra print with coloured snakeskin, be it as a detail on accessories or a head-to-toe look.
