Even though temperatures in the Midwest are soaring, it’s time to start looking forward to next-season trends and thinking about the garments you will add to update your fall capsule wardrobe. Here is a list of the fall 2024 fashion trends we look forward to most.
Sustainable Fashion for the Fall 2024 Fashion Win
More designers are committing to creating natural-fiber fashion and using reusable materials to create garments. Sustainable fashion isn’t going anywhere, and it’s one of the hottest trends for fall 2024. Look for garments created from eco-friendly textiles that have been created to last. Shop your closet first and list which trends you’d like to add to your capsule wardrobe for the fall.
Bold Colors and Prints
For men’s fall 2024 fashion, jewel tones and bold floral prints in moody colors are trending. For women, red, dark, deep greens, and plums are the bold trending colors. Since red has been in style for several seasons, look for turtlenecks or funnelnecks to round out your wardrobe.
Rich Textures
Think velvet, corduroy, rib knits. Boucle and tweed are also set to trend this fall. When you combine bold colors with rich textures, you can get a lot of mileage from just a few key items to add to your wardrobe.
60s-Inspired Fashion
The sixties are back – and they’re bringing cropped and classic tweed jackets. To avoid looking like you’re going to a costume party for the sixties, choose just one piece and build the rest of your outfit with contemporary garments.
Leopard Print
It’s back. This season’s animal print is the classic and glamorous leopard print. This is one of those fashion trends that never truly goes away, so if you want to splurge on a classic coat this season, this would be the print.
Plaid
Smaller plaids like Houndstooth are trending. Look for plaids in bold fall colors that match many items in your closet. This is the place to add a smart-looking blazer, tailored skirt, or late-season wrap.
Puffer Jackets
The puffer jacket is making a big comeback more late in the season than now. Look for cropped styles or long coat styles for this trend. You’ll want this one to transition through late fall into winter.
Sweater Dresses
Sweater dresses are once again finding their way into closets. This is another later-fall trend (given forecasts for longer warm temperatures), but a classic. Look for solid-color styles—plum, jade, red—in sleek cuts that make you feel amazing.
Denim Skirts
For earlier fall, the denim skirt is a great trendy choice. Pair an ankle-length skirt with a front slit with knee-high boots, and a dark sleeveless turtleneck to look chic and keep cool in earlier months, and switch to a chunky sweater with layers as the weather cools off more.
Cargo Pants and Wide-Leg Jeans
Finally, less-fitted styles are still trending. Look for wide-leg jeans tailored through the waist and hips for impeccable fit and cargo pants with many pockets. While on the coasts, these trends are paired with some boxier blazers; consider pairing these looks with a Breton-striped sweater or blouse with a statement collar in the earlier weeks of fall.
