What’s Hot: Fall Fashion Trends

The weather will be cooling down soon and we’ll be stepping out of shorts and tees and into sweaters and boots. It’s a fun time of year in terms of fashion — the luxurious textures, deep colors and cozy fabrics. Let’s check out what’s hot for fall.

Leather
Leather (and faux leather) are everywhere this season, from jackets to handbags. But also look for leather in leggings, skirts and even hats. This Magalisgarcia skirt ($650) is a fantastic choice. This neoprene skirt has a leather flower applique detail on the side. For a contrast in textures, pair this skirt with a lace or ruffled blouse.

Lace
Speaking of lace, this is another fall fashion trend that you shouldn’t miss. Grab yourself a pair of lace leggings and pair them with a black mini-dress and short ankle boots or glossy patent pumps. These Kova And T lace leggings are $110 over at Shopflick.

Dramatic Shoulders
You’ll see many dresses on the rack with exaggerated shoulders, reminiscent of the 80s. But it’s not all about broad shoulders — rather it’s anything that draws the attention to the shoulders, arms and neck. Look for unique necklines and funky sleeves. One dress that I adore is this classic Ashley dress from Stop Staring! This dress features a stretch fabric that hugs your curves in all the right places. This length (just below the knee) is popular in fall dresses. This dress has vintage inspired cap sleeves and pleating along the boat neck. Wear this dress with a pair of Mary Janes and carry a dome-shaped or framed bag. This dress is priced at $145.

Boots and Booties
Boots are your go-to footwear when fall rolls around. This year, you can choose from an assortment of boot styles from menswear-inspired oxfords to sky high platform boots. Check out some of our recent posts on beautiful boots for fall and vote for your favorite fall shoe trend.

Anything Grey
Shoes, dresses, sweaters, coats — anything grey is on trend for fall. Look for grey tweeds to add a little texture to your look. This Nanette Lepore jacket is ideal. Created from tweed boucle, this jacket features short balloon sleeves, braided trim and velvet buttons. It’s priced at $324 at Shopflick and the matching skirt is $189. Grey looks amazing when paired with jewel tones; wear it will ruby red, pretty amethyst, and deep sapphire blue.
