10 Fall Trends You’re Going To Want To Try
While the air may be becoming a little crisper and the temperatures are beginning to drop, the Fall 2024 fashion trends are coming in HOT with a blend of comfort and bold eye-catching colors, details and statements right around the corner. Here are 10 Fall fashion trends you must get your hands on this season!
1. Statement Outerwear
Outerwear has always been a fall/winter essential, but this year you will be seeing a lot more. Whether it is an oversized blazer, a classic modern trench coat or a colored leather jacket, outerwear certainly is not taking the backseat this year. These pieces not only keep you warm but also add a sophisticated touch to any ensemble.
How to Style This Trend:
Layer a trench coat over a sleek turtleneck and wide-leg pants for a chic yet relaxed look.
2. Classic Plaid
Plaid is always a fall favorite, and 2024 is no exception. Who doesn’t love a a classic plaid coat and tailored pants? Or maybe you want to channel your inner Britney with a plaid mini skirt and loafers. Whatever your preference, this timeless pattern can be styled to create a casual and polished look.
How to Style This Trend:
Pair a plaid blazer (double fashion points for statement outerwear) with a monochromatic look to let the pattern steal the show. You can also opt for larger, bolder plaid pattern, or mix traditional tartan with unexpected colors. The options are endless!
3. Earthy Tones
Fall changes most of the world from bright shade of green to earthier hues of brown and gold, so your wardrobe should follow suit.Think rust, terracotta, saffron, and marigold- the color palette this fall is all about the autumn shades. These earthy hues are a great way to add depth to any outfit and don’t be afraid to layer them or mix and match different shades within the same color family! And let’s be honest, what says fall more than a chunky marigold or mustard sweater!
How to Style This Trend:
Mix a rust-colored sweater with a pair of chocolate tailored pants for a harmonious, autumnal preppy look.
4. Colorful Leather
Leather has always been a fall/winter staple in our opinion but it is back like never before – and IN COLOR too! Yes, colored leather, whether vegan or not, has entered the chat (a little pun for you Netflix: The Circle fans). From skirts, to jackets, to pants, leather is such a fun way to add a little edge to any look!
How to Style This Trend:
Grab olive green or burgundy structured pants – remember those rich and earthy tones – and pair them with an oversized blazer. Not feeling the trouser type of look? Switch it out for a leather mini skirt.
5. Platform Chunky Boots/Shoes
Whether you remember these from the 90s or they seem like a fresh new trend for you, they are BACK! We have already determined that the Fall fashions this year are BOLD, so why should that stop when it comes to your footwear? But don’t worry they aren’t all edgy and clunky. Whether it is a combat or a sleek knee-high you are going to them in some sort of a platform style.
How to Style This Trend:
Embrace the 90s by styling a blazer, a graphic band tee, a plaid skirt, and chunky platform Mary Janes with ruffle socks. Or tone it down with a cable-knit sweater dress, tights and mid-calf platform boots (leopard print if you are feeling wild – keep reading and you’ll see why!
6. Leopard Print
The spots have made a wild comeback this fall, proving once again that it is fierce! One of the best things about leopard is that it is easy to style and wear as it can be paired with any solid color. Black, beige, or tan are good options allowing the print to be the focal point of your look.
Another plus about leopard print is it can easily go from the office to a night out. Think about a leopard top with a pair of fitted leather pants. This look checks all the boxes for your office dress code, but add a pair of heels and some gold accessories and you are ready for dinner with the girls!
How to Style This Trend:
Try a full length leopard coat, think of the mob wives trend, minus the fur! Or dip your toes into this trend by adding a leopard print bag or shoe to your ensemble for that fun little pop
7. Maxi-Length
Whether it is maxi skirts or maxi dresses, maxi lengths are making an appearance this fall, and we aren’t mad about it. Maxi lengths are great for the unpredictable fall weather. Especially if you are in the south where it’s cold when you pull out of the driveway and hot when you pull back in. Maxi dresses and skirts can be styled and layered perfectly for these days. You may see them in solids or fun fall florals, either way they are bound to catch your eye!
How to Style This Trend:
Pair a maxi skirt, a sweater, a cropped leather jacket (style cred if your leather is COLORED), and ankle boots for a boho-meets-edge look. Throw a sweater over a maxi dress and pair it with some booties for the perfect fall vibe!
8. Tailored Suits
Well hello, BABE BABE! Make an impression with a sharp, tailored suit this season. Just because we’re talking about suits, doesn’t mean they have to be professional. Think of your dad’s oversized blazer you always wore as a kid, but it actually fits you now with a tailored pleated pant. Make it casual with a pair of sneakers.
How to Style This Trend:
Play with bold colors or even PLAID and don’t be afraid to break up the suit and wear the jacket and pants separately! Put a tailored oversized blazer with a fitted dress and boots or a chunky knit sweater with palazzo wide leg pants and a sneakers or booties.
9. Textured Layers
Fall looks are all about texture this year, think chunky knit sweaters, wool, waffle knit, suede, corduroy and leather. Mixing soft feels with edgy textures are everything this fall, and there are so many textured fall fabrics to mix and match, that the possibilities are seriously endless.
How to Style This Trend:
Style a textured cable knit sweater over a white button down shirt and a suede skirt to really play with this textured layers trend. A corduroy statement jacket looks incredible over a knit sweater – just add a pair of suede pants and you’re ready for whatever this season has in store. Talk about all the cozy fall textures right there!
10. Minimalist Accessories
We love a good accessory, but this fall it’s all about “less is more.” Don’t let your accessories be the first thing people see. Think dainty, minimalist pieces like thin gold necklaces, simple hoop earrings, sleek belts and structured handbags. Let these subtle touches complement this season's bold trends without overwhelming your look.
How to Style This Trend:
Start with your handbag.A trendy muted earth tone like rust, taupe, olive green or marigold in a structured geometric shape will help elevate a simple look.
If you are not much of a handbag person, a structured leather belt – points for colored leather – over a sweater dress that lacks form is an easy fix to add some shape and style into your look.
As for jewelry, keep it clean and simple. Dainty layered necklaces – two at the most – , a simple thin bar bracelet or cuff, thin hoops, and you’re good to go! There are seriously so many options to choose from!! You can even mix metals like gold and silver together or find pieces that are already mixed.
