As the weather cools down, it’s time to swap your tees for sweaters and shorts for jeans. The upside to colder days? The fun of creating stylish outfits for a new season. From layering to embracing darker tones, autumn prompts a wardrobe refresh and a chance to step out of your comfort zone. This year, don’t fall victim to another micro-trend; instead, lean into the classics – clothing that will stand the test of time. This fall is all about elevating the classics and putting a modern twist on your favorite pieces by experimenting with colors, silhouettes, and accessories. Combining your feedback with our research, we have identified 10 fall trends to implement into your wardrobe. These versatile pieces will be closet staples for years to come.

  5. Mary Janes

  6. Cherry Red

  7. Short Trench Coats

  1. Dark Wash Denim

Though dark wash subsided as light wash rose in popularity, its versatility and mature look makes it the perfect component of a fall outfit. This wash pairs perfectly with simple basics or bolder pieces, whether it be for a casual office look or a relaxing weekend.

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.

STUDDED BELT STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

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.

RED LEATHER STYLING INSPIRATION:

 

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.
