Ah, fall fashion. I couldn’t love it more if I tried! Fall is definitely my favorite season when it comes to styling, as I can combine my favorite aspects of winter (like chic jackets and fun layering) and summer (like showing some skin and playing with color) to create an especially dreamy wardrobe. This season, I really want to go all out, so I’m shopping the top fall fashion trends to get ahead of the game.
What’s in, you ask? Updated takes on the classics. Oversized pants and slacks are still in, cherry cola red leather accessories, and ballet flats (cue gasp). Yes, ballet flats! The shoe we all thought was doomed to being an early 2000’s fashion faux pas has made a triumphant comeback and this season that includes adding chunky embellishments like buckles and straps. Hopefully, you’re ready to give them a second turn.

Stripes are a pattern that comes in so many widths, colors, and formats that it never goes out of style—unlike cheetah print, which runs in just as fast as it runs out. This year you can rock stripes in so many more ways than just your typical sweater and jeans combo. Opt for full-length or midi dresses that will stand the test of time and look classic for years to come. You can add in your unique style by way of handbags, boots, and leather accessories like belts or jackets.
Maria Knitted Midi Dress
Why wear a sweater when you can wear a sweater dress? This knit midi from Boden features a sailor-stripe top with a vertical stripe skirt and the combo together screams fall.

When it comes to fall bottoms, the baggier the pant, the better. Just ask Hailey Bieber, who’s always seen in a new pair of parachute pants when she’s off duty or supporting Justin at a show. This trend is a callback to the ’90s and we’re here for it. Especially when it’s paired with a tighter top to balance out the weight of the ensemble. Even better: basically any shoe looks good with these bottoms. Ballet flats, chunky sneakers, boots, trainers you name it.
Balloon Cargo Pants
Get the look of cargo pants with the comfort of cotton bottoms when you wear these balloon trousers. This pair from Urban Outfitters comes in so many unique colorways that will help you add a pop of color to whatever outfit you’ve got planned. In our opinion, the bolder and brighter you go, the better.
Ballet flats have been trying to make a comeback for a while but this season they’re getting an edgier update. Now before you decide this trend isn’t for you, I beg you to take a deep breath and let go of the grudge you have against ballet flats. I promise that nobody is asking you to wear them with skinny jeans or a skater skirt. Instead, picture yourself wearing them with linen slacks, chic midi skirts, vintage denim and even a low-rise mini skirt. Cool right? I’m so excited to embrace this trend and become the shining star of grunge Balletcore.
Steve Madden Bryar Flat
In true goth ballerina form, this pair has the cutest buckles that add instant edge so you can dress them up or down.
This is 100 percent the new “It girl” boot for fall. You’re about to see these with maxi skirts, mini skirts, and every other kind of bottom you can pull out for cooler weather. You might even see a resurgence of tights paired with shorts with the revival of indie sleeze. However, these biker boots will take the look away from 2013 and right into 2023.

I already got this pair that’s super affordable from H&M and I’m fully planning on making it a personality trait.
One of the best parts about fall is slipping into an incredible leather or vegan leather jacket. This season, colored leather is trending, including this gorgeous red shade that will definitely match the fall foliage outside. If you want to start smaller with this trend, consider picking up a red leather belt or a red hand bag, but something about this red leather jacket is seriously making me want the weather to change already.
We The Free Clarkie Jacket
This red leather jacket is the ultimate layering piece. Wear it over a girly blouse, a simple black turtleneck or a mesh long sleeve. It’ll look great with maxi skirts, wide-leg trousers, and baggy jeans.
