“The fall shows gave us a lot to look forward to this season, from Khaite’s delectable assortment of leather jackets to Saint Laurent’s dresses that skimmed the floor with an elegance that seems only right for the fall and winter seasons”, Vogue reports. That’s not to say pared back, wardrobe classics don’t still have their place: cozy knits, white shirts, and blue denim also made an appearance. So, if you’re ready to update your wardrobe, where better to start than with the latest exciting new trends for fall?
Maxi Length
If you’re looking to inject a sophisticated feel into your wardrobe, maxi length is undoubtedly the trend for you. Floor length dresses and skirts were everywhere on the runways from Burberry and Saint Laurent to Balenciaga and Chanel. Although maxi length can seem intimidating to those new to this style, there are ways to make it more accessible. The key to not letting a piece swamp you is to put together a simple, understated look. A chic, figure-hugging maxi skirt, for example, can be worn easily with a simple plain t-shirt and sleek yet comfy leather mules, pumps, or open lace-up flats from cape robbin. Complete your look with a few pieces of minimalist jewelry.
Sheer Pieces
Sheer clothing isn’t just for the warm summer months; this chic trend is also now set to be big for fall. Smart layering, in particular, is key to rocking sheer fashion in chillier temperatures — you can, for example, wear a camisole or tank bra under a simple sheer blouse. A full-coverage tank bra can provide ample support while also prioritizing comfort throughout the day. Alternatively, a sheer maxi dress can be teamed with a slip underneath — not only does this provide extra warmth and coverage, but it also offers a helpful smoothing effect that helps combat potential unwanted static. And, if you’re not keen on showing too much skin, you can always opt for pieces with sheer accents. Sheer sleeves or panels, for example, are a great way to embellish your outfit without leaving you feeling too exposed.
Baggy Denim Jeans
Celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Tracee Ellis Ross, Katie Holmes, and Emily Ratajkowski have all been recently spotted in baggy denim jeans: a rising new fashion trend. As comfort has become a key foundation of our everyday wardrobe over the past few years, ultra-baggy jeans seem only a natural next step. Unlike skinny jeans that lend outfits a chic and streamlined feel, baggy jeans are effortlessly casual. Oversized jeans can be worn in a myriad of stylish ways, including with a classic tailored blazer and elegant stilettos to create an appealing high-low vibe. Or, if you’re not one for this type of uncomfortable, tall shoes, platform heels are a stylish alternative that can also nicely offset your baggy jeans’ relaxed vibe.
The start of a new season is the perfect time to update your wardrobe with some exciting new looks. Maxi length, sheer pieces, and baggy denim jeans are just some of the latest trends to embrace this fall.
