I’m not exactly sure why, but somehow the first chill in the air mixed with the crunch of orange leaves underfoot brings with it the need to go shopping. The back-to-school marketing tactics have seeped so deeply into our brains that the annual arrival of fall necessitates a wardrobe refresh. If you have the itch but lack the knowledge of how to scratch, we’ve put together a list to guide your conscious consumption by rounding up the biggest and most versatile trends of the season. Whether your closet is begging for a new pinstriped blazer or yearning for a platinum necklace, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, shop our favorite trends of the season.
Corporate Tropes
Congratulations to anyone with a 9-5 and a correspondingly corporate wardrobe; your uniform is currently trending. Blazers, trousers, loafers, shirting—common clothing is conveniently in style.
Platinum Jewelry
Presented by Platinum Born
This fall, we’re coveting platinum jewelry to layer into our existing rotation. You don’t have to throw out your existing jewelry to embrace this finish. Instead, we encourage you to mix metals and stones for a more eclectic, personalized look.
Cherry Red
Thanks to Maximilian Davis’ designs at Ferragamo, electric cherry red is the hue du jour. Hesitant? Dip your sartorial toe in the water with a pair of socks or tights. Otherwise, go head-to-toe monochrome with scarlet-drenched everything.
Classic Fall Prints
Plaid, argyle, fair isle—nothing prepares you for the holiday season like a classic fall print. It’s okay to be on the nose here; style a tartan skirt with a knit and black tights or an argyle sweater with a button-down, jeans, and brogues.
Full Skirts
For a dash of femininity, full skirts are the girliest trend of the fall season. When it comes to styling, wholeheartedly embrace exaggerated silhouettes—think oversized sweaters to pair with your bulbous skirt.
