As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, the world of fashion heats up with new trends that define the season. Fall this year is going to be all about blending bold statements with elegance. This fall season is all about bringing back the past while pushing boundaries with fresh styles. This fall, style is all about standing out while still integrating fashion into your lifestyle, from statement pieces like out-of-office suits and big sweaters to bright color schemes and vintage textures. The following are some of the most popular trends for fall that you should definitely adopt:
1. Oversized Clothing: A Cozy Comeback
Oversized clothing remains a very popular trend in the fashion scene and will be in full-swing this fall, because it offers comfort and style in equal measure. This fashion trend gained popularity in previous years and has since evolved, with designers jumping in and pushing the boundaries of proportion to create exaggerated, statement-making shirts and jackets. This season, you should look for large puffer jackets, oversized shirts and slouchy trench coats that provide warmth while also delivering that high-fashion impact.
Oversized pieces are so easy to pair with everyday clothing. You can pair these oversized pieces with slim-fitting pants, leggings, or even a body-hugging dress to create a balanced silhouette. Neutral colors like tan and black will always have a place, don’t be afraid to go that extra mile and pair it with unique patterns to add personality to your outerwear. For example, the Borrowed It Oversized Shacket would pair well with a unique patterned top and slim-fitting skirt.
2. Tailored Power Suits: Sharp and Stylish
Suits have been a major force on the runway in recent seasons. That is not changing this fall because tailored power suits are staying in the spotlight. This fall season suits are not just for the office. Innovative styles are being developed by designers, ranging from fitted, rigid silhouettes that radiate sophistication to oversized blazers combined with wide-leg slacks.
This fall's revival of suits is mostly due to textures. The use of velvet, houndstooth, and tweed is giving classic suit components a more luxurious look. These suits can be seen in many colors varying from the traditional black to colors like burgundy red, emerald green, and sapphire blue. Additionally, suits are being dressed more informally this fall. For example, consider wearing a maxi dress over jeans or a stylish jacket. A fitted suit is a must-have for this fall season, whether you're wearing it to work or for going out for a weekend brunch.
3. The Return of Leather: An Edgy Look
Leather is making a strong return this fall. Leather looks, including skirts, pants, and shirts, are taking center stage this fall to add a bold and edgy element to everyday outfits. It doesn’t matter if you are in sleek black, deep maroon, or unexpected shades like forest green or blush pink, leather offers a luxe and slightly rebellious edge to any fall outfit.
One key look to try this season is pairing a leather dress with some simple heels or low-cut boots, creating a harmonious balance of fall textures. For those wanting a bolder statement this fall, opt for a head-to-toe leather look. Just remember to keep the accessories minimal to let the leather shine.
4. Knitted Everything: Comfort Meets Couture
Knitted clothing has been a huge staple in clothing in recent years but this year, it’s reaching new heights with unique designs and expanded options. Everything from cardigans and sweaters to fully knit outfits will be seen. Knitted apparel is popular for fall weather since it is stylish, practical, and comfy. This year, one of the major trends in knitwear is the return of vintage designs, such as woven cardigans and thick cable knit sweaters, updated with contemporary tailoring and eye-catching color schemes.
Also, knitted midi dresses are setting up to be huge this fall, offering a sleek yet cozy option that can be dressed up or down. You will catch people sporting more earth tones like oatmeal, rust, and olive green this fall season, but don’t be afraid to explore bold shades like cobalt blue or mustard for a more contemporary look.
5. Maximalism and Bold Prints
Minimalism will not be as popular this fall season as maximalism will be coming in strong, particularly in terms of prints and patterns. This fall season will see a strong return to statement pieces, such as geometric patterns and floral sweaters. These patterns will be easily incorporated into everything from dresses and skirts to pants and outerwear, making it easy to mix and match.
For those who are new to this trend but want to dip their toes into the maximalist style without going overboard, try incorporating one statement piece—such as a printed coat or blouse—into an otherwise neutral outfit. For those who are bold at heart, mixing prints (animal print with florals) is a great way to embrace this trend head-on.
6. Jewel-Toned Color Palettes
This fall season’s color trends are all about jewel-toned colors. While neutrals like beige, black, and gray are consistently popular for the fall season, this year is seeing a surge in jewel-toned colors. If you can’t think of what those are, think emerald greens, sapphire blues, ruby reds, and deep amethysts. These colors can add a luxurious feel to everyday pieces and pair well for outerwear, knitwear, and eveningwear.
Don’t be afraid to go all-out with a head-to-toe jewel-toned look or incorporate these colors through statement pieces like a velvet blazer or a fuchsia bucket bag. This is a trend that extends beyond apparel and will be seen in accessories as well. These vibrant colors are being embraced by accessories, such as scarves, purses, and shoes in jewel tones that can be added to complete any fall look.
7. Statement Boots: The Bolder, the Better
Footwear is always a focal point, and this fall season, statement boots are going to be the stars of the show. Knee-high boots, combat boots, and platform styles are among the top choices that will be hitting the streets this fall. You will be seeing boots in unusual fabrics, such as patent leather or suede, as well as in standout colors like burgundy, forest green, and even metallics. This fall season is going to be the year of boots.
For a versatile yet fashionable option, knee-high boots in black or brown leather can be paired with just about anything, from skirts and dresses to jeans and leggings.
In conclusion, this fall season is shaping up to be a season where bold fashion statements will meet timeless elegance. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a stylish office fit or a football Sunday lounging set, make sure to lean towards the trendy oversized outerwear, sharp suits, or the bold maximalist look. The focus on rich textures, vibrant fabrics, and striking colors ensures that this fall will be a fashion-forward, functional, and comfy season. Get ready to layer up and look cute this fall season!
