Tribal influences, inspired by Santa Fe, N.M., Mayan and Aztec symbols and a dash of mysticism, are taking a spotlight this fall as fashion heads into Navajo prints, fringed suede, gaucho pants and chunky Peruvian sweaters. Evolving from a mishmash of references such as 1980s neon colors with Native American patterns and influenced by the music festival style seen at Coachella, the trend first appeared on the fall runways in New York in February at Proenza Schouler, Isabel Marant and Diane von Furstenberg shows. And now the trend has made its way into the LA Fashion District. Here are some “neo-native” pieces that you can get without breaking the bank:
