It’s that time of year again. The -ber ending months, the weather is getting cooler and those pumpkin spice flavors you’ve been waiting to hit the coffee shop menus are finally here. The season is shifting, and your wardrobe is going to have to keep up with it too. So turn on your favorite autumn show while we delve– or better yet, fall– into the world of fashion and what is in this season.
Fall is all about layering up, for warmth but also for being able to express your individualism through style! Some notable accessories you will need for this year to layer up are tights and jackets.
In 2024, patterned tights are in. From classic black to white and cream shades to burgundy or maroon, some tights will dress up your outfit, especially when paired with a black or brown mini skirt. These colors are also staples in leather jackets, which are a hit during this time of the year. Jackets with complimentary fur outlines, knitted pullovers or sweaters (especially layered over cute blouses), and classy blazers also are great selections to give your clothes more of a pop! While less in demand compared to the adored neutral palette that fall fashion is characterized by, pink can nicely balance heavy brown or black outfits. When done right, lighter shades such as pink can make for the perfect fall outfit statement! Navy and grays are also very complementary colors during autumn.
Regarding the practicality of layering, don’t forget to layer up with the use of thermals under clothing to remain warm when the temperature drops! It is important to remember that one can still make a fashion statement while being comfortable. Other cute ways of dressing with great use for the colder weather include turtlenecks, gloves, and leg warmers!
One of the biggest statements you can make in your outfit is how you wrap everything together with a shoe. Per usual, boots are always in during the fall time, particularly knee-high leather ones in black and brown shades. Though if you are feeling more of a heel with your look, Mary Janes are timeless. If you don’t want a heel, then loafers might be a better option for you. Lacy socks with all of these options can really dress up and add to the fall vibe. Whichever shoe you prefer, don’t forget to break them in well before wear.
If you are interested in more trends geared towards autumn wear, I would advise you not to forget the fashion in iconic fall set shows Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl and the stylistic choices of the clothing worn by their characters (Rory Gilmore, Lorelai Gilmore, Blair Waldorf, etc.). Pinterest is also a platform where there are endless references to different styles one can wear this fall. Whatever strikes your fancy, your outfits are bound to be wonder-fall!
