The Accessory You'd Never Have Imagined Paying Almost $1,000 For

MEN: The high-end designer sneaker. Because never having to dress like a grown-up is priceless. (Lanvin sneakers, $890)


WOMEN: Céline's $895 mink-lined fur-kenstocks. What else would a hippie wear on Park Avenue?


The Film that Sent Designers Into Overdrive

MEN: 'The Great Gatsby.' Brooks Brothers did the men's costumes and launched an attendant collection. Were you a Tom, a Nick or a Jay?


WOMEN: 'The Great Gatsby.' Prada and Tiffany TIF -0.11% Tiffany & Co.

The Color You Suddenly Wanted to Wear

MEN: Burgundy. Colored suits were all the rage on the runways but this wine-y shade was the one that could suavely step off.


WOMEN: Cream. The most vanilla of shades got a cool lift from Isabel Marant, the Row and Valentino.


The Must-Have Piece That Everyone Really Did Have to Have

MEN: The varsity jacket. We'll say it again: Never having to dress like a grown-up is priceless.


WOMEN: The plaid shirt. The arrival of Grunge 3.0 (4.0?) made the Nirvana-esque button-down ubiquitous yet again.


The People Whose Style You Wanted to Steal

MEN: Eddie Redmayne: The actor pulled off velvet with aplomb. Giancarlo Giammetti: Valentino's longtime business partner looked fab while living the dolce-est vita around. Idris Elba: Is he the next Bond? He sure dressed like it.


WOMEN: Giovanna Battaglia: The Italian fashion editor never overdid it. Marion Cotillard:The French actress always did it right in Dior. Caroline Issa: The magazine editor was a street-style star of the highest order.


Hot Facial-Hair Trend

MEN: The not-so-scruffy scruff. A perfect balance between hirsute and groomed. (At right: Ben Affleck)


WOMEN: The strong brow. It-model Cara Delevingne powered up the defining look.


Trend That Made 'Going Wild' a Good Thing

MEN: Camouflage. No, it didn't hide you on a city sidewalk, but who cares? You looked awesome.


WOMEN: Muppet-like furs. Spliced-and-diced or fluffed, stuffed and dyed in a rainbow of colors, fur became a totally different animal.


Most Anticipated Designer Debut

MEN: Stefano Pilati at Ermenegildo Zegna. The ex-YSL creative director ushered in the soft suit at the traditionalist Italian label.


WOMEN: Alexander Wang at Balenciaga. The young designer's unexpected appointment to the French institution had everyone on tenterhooks. The verdict: a solid effort.


The Hard-to-Wear Look You Still Wanted to Wear

MEN: Double-breasted suits. The silhouette may be of-the-moment, but stocky or short gentleman should proceed with caution.


WOMEN: Over-the-knee boots. Without mile-long legs, sporting these can be a stretch. And yet, OTKs beckoned.


Most Unexpected Source Of Bag Inspiration

High-schoolers' backpacks. The bag you sported as a 16-year-old inspired Raf Simons and Lanvin.


Chinatown shopping bags. In Phoebe Philo's hands, the lowly woven plastic sack vaulted into rarefied territory.


Most Impressive Hair Moment

Dante de Blasio's afro. The goofily untamed 'do of the New York mayor-elect's son won our vote.


Postpartum Duchess of Cambridge. Young Prince George's introduction to the world was slightly upstaged by his mother's glossy mane.
