It’s autumn and the cool weather is quickly approaching, which calls for new and improved fashion trends. Paris Fashion Week on Sept. 26-Oct. 2 sets the stage for all upcoming fall trends. It’s time to take the low-rise miniskirts and linen out of the closet and replace it with stylish jackets and chunky loafers.
Starting off, leather jackets are back in style. They’re great for this upcoming fall because they come in all sorts of different styles and are a good way to keep warm. This jacket can be styled to look classy and professional or it can be styled for an everyday look
“The luxurious and chic look of leather jackets will never go out of style. In order to stand out from the crowd, be bold in your decision and pick a jacket with bolder colors,” according to palaleather.com.
If styled correctly, they could be cute. Adding a turtleneck sweater or appropriate pants with it would make it stylish. A plaid mini skirt, jeans or printed patterns would also improve your style. All in all, this style is perfect for an autumn day.
Another trendy jacket for fall is the bomber jacket. The bomber jacket comes in many styles and patterns. This jacket can be seen on celebrities and many runways.
A Vogue headline states that, “Bomber jackets are quiet wardrobe heroes that always deliver.”
This trend can be way more comfortable than other fall jackets. This item is a must-have for fall and should be on everyone’s fall clothes shopping list.
Speaking of must-haves, blazers are in season and on the more elegant side of jackets. This look is classy, chic and stylish. They can be paired with dress pants to make it classier or with jeans and a shirt for a more casual look.
“We’re seeing everything from bold hues to classic patterns like checks and houndstooth, and the silhouettes tend to be longer and more relaxed than they have been over the past few years,” according to jolynneshane.com.
This trend is classy and it’s a great way to spice up someone’s wardrobe this season. Although, it can be a bit too mature for the younger crowd.
Faux fur can be used in a wide selection of clothes. Jackets, hats, accessories and pants to name a few. Some different kinds of faux fur include fluffy, sherpa or fleece.
“At least a dozen designers and luxury houses explored the excesses of fluff this season, taking teased-out textiles to crazy new extremes,” according to highsnobiety.com.
This style of clothing is different from the rest of the list because there are endless ways to style it. However, this is not a fashion staple unless they’re going for a unique style for the cool weather.
Moving away from jackets and coats, chunky loafers are the next trendy shoes for fall. These shoes became popular in 2021 and they aren’t leaving anytime soon.
“Worn alongside jeans and knits or pleated skirts and sweatshirts, the footwear trend has an impressive fan base on Instagram, so much so that it’s the most popular shoe style of 2022,” according to celebratorynews.com.
Personally, they are not the hottest trend this season. It’s very hard to make them stylish and only a few can pull the chunky loafers off.
Along the category of shoes, combat boots are the next popular shoe. These big shoes are heavy duty and will protect people from the cold weather. These are great winter boots as well as fall.
“They’re an easy way to instantly toughen up an outfit and add a cool, forward edge,” according to whowhatwear.com
They go along with anything and make everything stylish. These lovable shoes are comfortable, unlike some trending shoes. Combat boots can fall into almost any category of styles, making them a very popular choice.
Bright colors seem to be making an appearance in this season’s fashion trend. Adding a pop of color upgrades one’s style.
“The color palette most frequently used in Fall/Winter 2022 runways were royal purple, jewel-tone teal, and burning red,” according to stylecaster.com
It’s nice to see color entering autumn’s fashion trend rather than the basic fall colors and boring outfits. Bright colors really spice up the wardrobe.
Fall has a lot to bring this year, especially in the fashion department. It’s cool to see old trends, like combat boots, back in style and see new ones replacing the old. Now it’s time to pack up summer clothes and replace them with new trends for fall.
