2. Fur Vests

Y2K trends have without a doubt come back stronger than ever, and fur vests are one of our favorite fall statement pieces. We love to opt for faux fur vests paired with low-rise jeans or cargos.

3. Studded Belts

Bored of your classic black belt? It’s time to make the switch to studded belts, a great addition to your fall outfits. Style studded belts with a long-sleeve top and jeans, or even over a dress.

4. Beige Jeans

We’re taking inspiration from Scandi-girl style this fall and bringing beige jeans into our wardrobe. These pants are versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down.

BEIGE JEANS STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

5. Mary Janes

We’ve seen the ballet flats comeback last spring, now mary janes are in the mix. These shoes can be styled in many ways to reflect your personal style – try wearing them with baggy pieces and high socks for a streetwear look, or with a skirt and dainty jewelry for a feminine look.

MARY JANES STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

6. Red Leather

Leather is a consistent fall staple – but this year, we’re switching it up with a pop of color. Whether it be jackets, belts, bags, or shoes, adding red leather pieces to your outfits is a great way to step outside your comfort zone and spice it up.

7. Short Trench Coats

Another closet staple, trench coats never go out of style. This year we’re seeing a fun alternative to the classic – shorter versions of trench coats that instantly make a casual outfit chicer (and warmer). We especially love this trend for the shorter girls who can’t typically wear super long coats.

SHORT TRENCH STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

8. Quilted Jackets

Possibly the cutest fall trend of all, patterned quilted jackets are a perfect way to add some character to your outfits. They’re a colorful, unique layer piece that you can find second-hand or vintage.

QUILTED JACKET STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

9. Polka Dots

Polka dots are back this season – but this time, in a more subtle way. Try sheer polka dot tops, maxi dresses, and crop tops paired with your basics.

POLKA DOTS STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

10. Biker Boots

Try switching out your classic leather boots for a biker boot this fall for an edgy style. Style them with your favorite skirt and add a leather jacket to complete the look.
