Overall, this falls fashion trends have been a personal favorite of mine and truly embody the fall spirit. The colors, patterns, and materials seen on runways and street style radiate a fall energy. The theme for this fall is more of a Parisian look with a lot of neutrals and basics paired together to create a chic look. Some of my favorite trends include brown, leather, sweater vests, and riding boots.
As for the “in” colors for this fall, brown is making a huge appearance. Brown is usually seen as a boring or ugly color but this seasons trends show the opposite. Brown leather has been especially popular, my favorite being the brown leather Melina pant from Aritzia. After this season I feel that the preconceived notions about the color brown will be thrown out the window and will be a staple in fall fashion for many years to come. Similar to the other fall color trend, pistachio green, which had always been thought of as ugly. Pistachio green and lavender were the popular colors of last fall, being seen on countless runways, but green became a staple for this fall as well and has become a staple. At first I was unsure if it was just a quick seasonal trend and refrained from buying pieces in that color, but it grew on me and its now one of my favorite colors to wear.
Particular pieces that have shown up frequently are sweater vests. This paired with a loose button down blouse makes the perfect look for this fall. Again, this was something that I was hesitant about trying, but fashion is all about risks and I just ordered one to try out. My favorite outfit that I’ve seen is a black and white patterned sweater vest over a white blouse paired with a black mini skirt and riding boots.
The shoe trends for this season are my all time favorites. Each fall there are always popular boot trends that never fail to amaze me, last year it was Victorian style lace-up boots with a pointed toe. This year, it’s quite the opposite. Riding boots have always been popular, but more so this year with the Parisian influence. They are basic, neutral, and chic and I absolutely love them. Another boot trend for this fall are high, chunky Chelsea boots. Popularized by Frame, this style of boots have been seen everywhere from supermodels, to influencers, to everyday people with great fashion sense. They are a funky take on the classic black Chelsea boot which I think characterizes fashion trends of today. Square toe boots are making a comeback and are replacing the classic pointed toe shoe, which I personally like more not only for comfort but also for personal preference. Square toe shoes were a staple of the early 2000s and have earned their place as a staple of fall fashion in recent years.
