Ready to upgrade your fall wardrobe? Here are 15 fashion and style essentials that you should consider!
Jeans are always a fall must-have, and this season, it’s all about pairs with intriguing details and flattering, modern silhouettes, like this bootcut pair from Hudson. The brand’s Creative Architect, Brandon Williams, shared more insights on what’s inspiring his designs lately: “Our women’s story is being told with textures and elevated denim details, [with] the biggest of the details being our iconic Union Jack flap back pocket.”
Gingham often gets associated with summertime, but this neutral-hued gingham midi dress from Rumored can be worn all year round, either on its own to show off the gorgeous bow detail on the back or with a chunky knit cardigan for a cozy cottagecore look.
Rich reds and burgundies are having a major moment this fall, so hop on the color trend and find yourself an amazing addition for your wardrobe with this corset top from TA3. The corset shape is incredibly flattering, and you can customize the look to be as sexy or as demure as you’d like depending on how you zip the top. Wear with boyfriend jeans for a cool girl vibe or a mini skirt for a fun night out look.
I love a good jumpsuit, so why not kick things up a notch with a total statement-maker like this denim one from Rachel Antonoff? The shape is cool and relaxed, and the custom photorealistic floral print design adds a touch of fun and playfulness that is sure to get compliments whenever you wear this.
Don’t forget to accessorize your nails with the colors of the season, too! Lights Lacquer just came out with their fall collection, which features beautiful autumnal shades that will look great with any fall fashions. This “Sweata Weatha” trio comes with a sparkling purple-green shimmer, a golden metallic polish that can be enhanced with magnets for cool designs, and a classic hunter green.
Who says your workout attire can’t be fun and girly? I am obsessed with this skort from POPFLEX, not just because Taylor Swift wore it in lavender but because it is such a fun departure from the typical fitness skort. With a fun tiered skirt that is optimized for twirling and moving, you can wear this while playing tennis or pickleball or just while out and about. I recommend pairing it with the Corset Bra for a full workout set or their Call Me Baby Tee for a cute look off the court.
Every season, a new must-have leather jacket style is introduced, and for 2024 I recommend searching for a simple zip-front style like this one from Quince. It’s versatile and a timeless style that will look great for years to come, and the leather is high-quality while coming in at an affordable cost thanks to their direct-to-consumer model.
“Baggy Jeans and the Horseshoe silhouette are not going anywhere anytime soon, so we expect to see them carry into fall!” shared Parke Founder & Designer Chelsea Parke Kramer when I asked her about the must-have denim styles of the season. And it’s true that horseshoe jeans have become a favorite amongst fashion influencers. If you want to kick things up a notch, Kramer also suggests trying out a non-blue jean: “classic denim washes never go out of style, but I think we can also anticipate some fun seasonal colors that embody the fall – tans, reds, etc.”
Who said florals were just for spring? This Show Me Your Mumu maxi dress makes the case for autumnal florals. With the vibrant flowers placed against a black fabric, they instantly stand out and will look great at any formal event you have this season. This dress is a true showstopper, with incredible volume and a flattering corset-lace back so you can adjust to your perfect fit. Plus, it has pockets! Always a win!
I am always in search of pants that I can wear to work that actually feel comfortable and look flattering, and I’m happy to say that Halara’s Work Pants have satisfied both criteria. These pants are so comfortable that they feel like loungewear but look perfectly professional, making them a new go-to for meetings and office days. They’re also a great affordable option for anyone who’s just getting started in the corporate world and looking to build up their work wardrobe.
Everyone needs a great denim button-up dress in their closet, and you cannot go wrong with a style like this one from Rails. This sleeveless denim dress makes for a great fall staple, as it can be styled a number of different ways depending on the variable weather. Wear on its own with a cute pair of ankle boots for warmer days, or layer with a thin sweater underneath and your favorite knee-high boots for when the tempearture starts to dip.
A Berry Lip To Match: Clarins Lip Oil Balm Hydrating Peptide Balm
Extend the love of berry hues this fall to your lips with this Clarins lip oil balm. The unique formula combines the nourishing moisturizer of your favorite lip oils with actual pigment that stays for a lush, hydrated lip look. I love the berry red hue of the “Fig” shade for a great fall lip.
When’s the last time you’ve purchased a new basic tee? If you had to think about it, it might be time to add a new one to your closet. This Tomboy Tee from Cuts is great for an essential basic that is elevated by the fit and fabric. I love a heather grey as a starting point for any outfit, but the tee also comes in seasonal colors as well as classic white and black. And while you’re shopping for yourself, don’t forget to take a look at their menswear for elevated basics for the man in your life, too!
The name of these pants from A Bronze Age is truly apt; these pants are indeed Party Pants! With a drawstring waist and ruffled hemline, these pants are fun without being fussy. Whether you pair them with a simple white button down or go all-out with an embellished top, you’ll bring the party vibes wherever you go.
Give your workout wardrobe a fall makeover by sporting the it colors of the season, like this set from Gymshark in a rich magenta hue. You’ll look and feel great when getting your workout on, as the fabric of these items is ultra soft and flattering.
