Though it's still the middle of summer, fall will be here soon. Let's have a quick look at some of the coming season's certs!

Basing on runway pictures we created the list of the top 10 must haves of the coming season.

1. Snake Skins

Say whatever you want, but snake skin is back in style. Snakes & Alligators will rule the runways. Sometimes as a sole focus, like in Michael Kors collection. More often, however, as an adornment to smooth leather background like on Celine's and Balenciaga's runways.

2. Patents

Maybe not quite so practical in Winter, but still, they're oh so beautiful! With ankle bow like Chloe's, super sexy Rykiel's and avantgarde Victor & Rolf's. No matter what style you choose, remember to go colour!

3. Suede

Elegant suede keeps coming back each season. Even though it may be hard to maintain, women will always fall under a spell of red suede heels by Diane von Furstenberg, Etno inspired Isabel Marant's booties or classic Givenchy's heels...

4. Satin

Obviously, it's to fragile to be worn on the daily basis. It needs a special occasion. The fall/winter satin is colourful - midnight blue in Jason Wu's, metallic and gold in Donna Karan's and red hot in Emilio de la Morena's eyes.
