As summer comes to an end, particularly as strange as 2020 has been, one of the only things that brings solace is the arrival of fall fashion. But our ideas about what constitutes as style for the season have evolved over the decades. Take a look back at the trends that have stood the test of time plus the ones that made briefer appearances.
1950

In 1950, Audrey Hepburn was still three years away from winning an Oscar for her breakout role in Roman Holiday. But that didn't stop her from sporting this printed fall ensemble for a fashion spread.
1951

Likewise, Christian Dior employed a fuller skirt silhouette in his fall 1951 collection. The early '50s often saw a fall ensemble completed with a coordinated hat or headpiece.
1952

Before you mistake this for another standard coat-and-hat ensemble, consider that Givenchy's fall and winter collection took a major risk. The drawstring design at the top and bottom of the velour coat made for an eye-catching aesthetic choice.
1956

Actress Jane Russell sported a chic airport look as she departed from London, decked out in a fur coat, ornate hat, and several bracelets. Is this why it's called a runway?

If loving Barbra Streisand's leopard print trench with a slit down the side is wrong, who would want to be right?
