Fall Fashion Preview
The fashion scene for Fall 2024 is all about a blend of rich, deep hues, playful fabrics, and nostalgic prints. And I know it’s hard to say goodbye to summer fashion, but it’s time to start looking ahead at the biggest trends of the upcoming season. They may not all be for you - I know I won’t be trying them all out - but there’s definitely something in here for each style archetype and if you still don’t know your personal style - please take my free quiz to find out.
Of course, you don’t have to redo your entire fall wardrobe, think of this as a way to update your style, keeping it current with some trendier pieces.
And for all my boho chic ladies, I’ve got a special surprise for you…
Let’s get started!
Deep Green
Deep green is the standout color for Fall 2024. This rich, forest-like hue brings a sense of elegance and sophistication to any wardrobe. Try a luxurious midi dress for a special occasion or work it into your workwear wardrobe with a tailored blazer. You can pair it with other autumn colors like rust and burgundy, or go for a full green look. If this color isn’t in your palette, consider some accessories like a handbag or some sleek boots.
Checkered Prints
Checkered prints are making a comeback this fall, or were they ever really out? Whether it’s classic plaid, houndstooth, or gingham, these patterns are going to be everywhere, adding a touch of retro charm to modern outfits. Checkered skirts - a la school uniform - and checkered trousers will be very prominent this season. But why not look for a checkered shirt or checkered coat for a change? For those who prefer a subtler approach, why not a slight detail like a checkered inside lining of a jacket?
Feathers
Feathers are adding a touch of whimsy and luxury to fall fashion this year. It’s the kind of fashion trend that brings out our inner child and dares us to be playful. From feather-trimmed dresses and skirts to feathered handbags and shoes, this trend is all about making a statement. Feathers bring movement and texture to outfits, but don’t wear too much of it, or you’ll look like you’re about to take flight! lol. For evening wear, consider a feathered cocktail dress or a skirt paired with a simple blouse. Tres chic!
Burgundy Bags
Not everyone watches fashion week but I don’t think you could escape the Gucci obsession with burgundy. This rich, wine-colored hue is perfect for the season, the only real issue is what bag to choose! You could go for an everyday work bag, or maybe a trendy mini handbag, and if you’re looking for something even more “in” how about a stand-out geometric bag? To style it, pair it with those deep green colors, or a checkered dress, but really, it goes with pretty much everything fall.
Boho Chic
As I promised, the boho girl is back and boho chic couldn’t be more in. Everyone’s going to be emulating your style, but you’re already the pro. Expand your closet with a new maxi skirt, maybe a fringe bag or two. Look for embroidered pieces on Etsy or at your local second-hand store. Consider accessories like chunky belts, long necklaces, funky rings, and cowboy boots - yes you heard me right.
Whether you’re drawn to the deep elegance of forest green, the relaxed vibe of boho chic, the classic appeal of checkered prints, the playful movement of feathers, or the effortless cool of burgundy bags, there’s something for everyone this season. Pick out at least one of these trends to incorporate into your wardrobe and give it a modern upkeep.
As for me, you will definitely see me incorporating feathers and checkered prints…it is going to be fun!
Bisous my friend!
