With Fall fast approaching, it may be time to update your wardrobe with something new. Here are a few of the best Fall trends that are not only super-stylish and chic, but perfect for updating your wardrobe no matter your taste.
Faux Fur
Faux fur is back with a bang, and better than ever. Not only is faux fur very easy to style, but it can go with almost anything. A faux fur coat can be worn over jeans and a T-shirt, or it can be worn with a pantsuit or a pencil skirt.
Another benefit of faux fur is that, when you look through women’s clothing, you will see that faux fur items are very affordable, but still high quality.
Lace
Lace was all the rage a few years ago, but it lost some of its shine and faded to the sidelines. However, this year, lace is most definitely all the rage, and is being used to create some incredible designs and silhouettes.
If lace is a bit too revealing for you, it is perfect to layer with. A simple white, strappy top can be worn with a bright and bold lace top worn over the top. You get the lace effect without having to bare too much skin and be uncomfortable.
Brown, Brown, Brown
Brown has never been out of fashion, and is easily one of the most popular Fall colors around. It is refined, reserved, yet bold and sophisticated, and works well with a brown dress, handbag, hat, or shoes.
Brown is also a great base color, as it pairs well with greens, oranges, beiges, and even some blues if you want to add a pop of color to your look.
Sheer
Similar to lace, sheer clothing was everywhere a few years ago and lost a lot of its popularity. However, it is back and one of the most popular trends for the Fall, and for the next few years to come.
Sheer can be a bold choice, and may not be for everyone. But once again, like lace, it can be layered, and you can still get the look and feel of lace without exposing too much skin. But if you want to experiment, you can never go wrong with starting with a sheer skirt or top.
New Victorian
There has been a resurgence of old-world clothing over the past few years, and the next era that is gaining traction is Victorian. Known as Boho’s older sister, New Victorian looks combine lace, flowy dresses, old-world accessories, etc.
The best part of this trend is that there are plenty of accessories and shoe styles to choose from, meaning that even if you don’t want to commit to an entire New Victorian look, you can implement aspects of it to take your looks to the next level.
Reinvented School Shoes
Shoes that look similar to school shoes have always received a bad rap because of, as mentioned already, they look like school shoes. However, when you take a step back, you will see that they are clean and simple, yet incredibly stylish.
This is why the “reinvented school shoe” look has taken off, as more and more designers are putting their own touch and twist on the classic school shoe style. Not to mention the fact that many of these styles work with both casual and formal outfits, and can easily fit into almost any wardrobe.
Autumn Styling Tips
Now that you know a few of the best Autumn trends you need to try, here are some styling tips to keep you chic and sophisticated throughout the season.
Layers
Due to how much the weather can change throughout the day, layering is an essential part of Autumn fashion. Whether it’s a top with underlayers or a top and a jacket, layers will keep you warm if the temperature drops, but you can also take a layer off if it gets too warm.
Versatility
Because of the weather, versatility is also important. One item to focus on should be a versatile jacket or coat, as it can be dressed up or dressed down, and it’s perfect for chilly mornings, warmer afternoons, or icy cold evenings.
Color Palette
As for your color palette, you can never go wrong with a few of the Fall classics. Oranges, greens, browns, and some shades of yellow are perfect for this time of year. Take inspiration from nature and how it changes from the beginning of Fall to the beginning of Winter.
Be Rain & Cold Ready
As mentioned before, it is important to be ready for the cold, but depending on where you live, you also need to be ready for the rain. Therefore, invest in a solid, stylish raincoat that you can quickly throw on if the heavens open up.
Footwear
Finally, for footwear, Fall is the perfect time to bring out those boots that are a bit too warm for Summer, but not warm enough for Winter. Ankle boots, Chelsea boots, etc, are all brilliant for Fall, and the leather versions are a simple way to add some formality and sophistication to most outfits.
