1. Fall florals: Florals for fall is actually groundbreaking! Last year’s fall fashion trend is back again. Darker hues, embroidery, and larger flora make this pattern suitable for autumn.

2. Boots/booties: Boots always come out in abundance once the cooler temperatures hit. Heeled or flat, shorter booties have been very popular and they go with just about any outfit. White boots in particular have been in style this year.

3. Layers: Layers are essential for when that chill in the air rolls in, especially in early fall. Vests are a fall staple, and they can be layered over sweaters, dresses, or flannels for the milder days. Denim and army green jackets are perfect for a laid-back look, or faux fur really amps up an outfit for a more luxe look.

4. Plaid: Pants, jackets, skirts, dresses…anything and everything plaid is huge this year. Even if it’s a simple gingham pattern or the trendy plaid-and-floral mix, you will look ready for the fall weather in plaid this season.

5. Animal print: Get ready to go wild, because animal print is another popular pattern this year. Leopard and snakeskin are really coming out to play this season. Zebra and crocodile are other choices that will keep looking like you stepped right out of the jungle.

6. Western Trend: Saddle up for this new fall trend! The Wild West look is popular this fall. Fringe, suede, Sherpa, and cowhide print are showing up on boots, jackets, and hats. Tops have collars and possibly a bolo or necktie. Belts with metal accents are effective for achieving the western style.

7. Sweaters: Is it even fall if you can’t wear a sweater? Knits are a classic style for when the degrees start decreasing. Turtlenecks, oversize, cropped–you name it, the style is out there. If you want a trendy option, try statement sleeves, such as lace-up sleeves or puffy balloon sleeves.

8. Patent leather: Fall rainy days got you wondering how to dress cute but stay dry? Look no further that the patent leather trend. If you want to make a statement, try a patent jacket or trench coat. But if you want a subtle plastic piece, go for patent shoes, a bag, or a skirt.

9. Metallic fabrics: Another shiny trend is metallic pieces. As with patent leather, larger pieces make more of a statement, like a dress or a coat. Boots or shoes are a more understated option to show your shine.

10. Tweed: Calling all Chanel lovers! Tweed is a classy way to add some color to your outfit and it is perfect for layering. Tweed coats or jackets can top off a sweater, denim chambray shirt, or even a dress. If you want to get matchy, try a tweed suit to channel your inner Coco.
