As the colder weather starts to creep in, I can’t wait to put my summer pieces away! Even though I live in Florida and we only get one season, I like to pretend lol. This fall, trends are heading in a couple of unexpected directions – we’re talking whimsical embellishments and showing the fun side to fashion.
And, since the pandemic has kept us all inside for a little longer than expected, designers and fashionistas around the globe have been forced to be a bit more creative with what they’ve got!
Here are the top fall trends to look out for this season and some affordable options to keep you on-trend but not in debt.
7 Fall Fashion Trends
Sweater vests
Originally considered a preppy basic, sweater vests are really taking off as they’re great for casual layering and keeping the chill away. Mix up your outfit’s textures with a mélange sweater or keep it old school with a classic black and white knit sweater vest.
Style Inspo
Cutouts
Who said you couldn’t show a little extra skin this fall? Spice up your outfit with some daring pieces like this white wrap-around blouse or cheeky black keyhole halter top.
Style Inspo
Printed tights
Have a little fun and throw on some cheeky printed tights! Dress up a classic LBD with these eye-catching sheer fishnets or mix and match with some flirty pastel tights.
Style Inspo
Lace
Although considered a delicate fabric, being able to dress a lace piece up or down is a serious power move! My top tricks to making lacework this fall? Match a chic white lace dress with a leather jacket or let your hair down and embody a more boho look with a midi lace skirt.
Style Inspo
Fringe
The 1920s were the golden age for fringe pieces but that does not mean we can’t add a little flapper energy to our wardrobe this fall. Stay warm and keep it classic with a belted fringe cardigan or fringed overshirt.
Style Inspo
Leopard print
We’re no longer playing it safe with some small leopard print accessories, unleash your wild side and courageously opt for a leopard print canvas coat or puffer jacket.
Style Inspo
Head-to-toe sparkle
I’m talking sequins, baby! This fall, embrace daytime opulence and haul out that sequined chainmail dress or chic sequined mini dress.
Style Inspo
Quilted puffer jackets
This one may be obvious now that the colder weather is here but be BOLD and wear a funky-colored puffer or play it safe with a chic black puffer you can wear anywhere.
Style Inspo
This fall is the perfect time to try new things and experiment with new colors, shapes, and patterns. If there’s anything we’ve learned in the last year, is that there’s no time to play it safe.
