The fall runway gave legwear another huge push this season, as ready-to-wear firms accessorized bare legs with some key emerging trends.

"This kind of color makes me want to have fall now," Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director at Neiman Marcus, said of the Proenza Schouler show, where the colorful leg took center stage. "I think we'll continue to see the opaque leg in charcoal and black, but the color brings life to the runway and it is so important."
