What comes to mind when you hear the word “fall?” Do you create images of vibrant pumpkin patches or apple picking? Or think about hot cider on a cozy afternoon, with pumpkin pie to top it all off? While these are among fall’s most classic and beloved pastimes, they’re not the only notable seasonal trends. Autumn is also famous for its fashion.
The Fall 2022 fashion shows gave us a glimpse of the trends that will hit the streets this season. However, it’s still clear that the public tends to stick to the usual themes of neutral colors and comfortable clothing, as these concepts have remained consistent in fall fashion throughout the years. Here are some essentials—new and timeless—to keep in your wardrobe this fall.
Basic neutral spikes
Neutral colors are a classic in a minimalist fall wardrobe. A white, brown or brown color is versatile and can be combined with almost anything. Pair a neutral top with a pair of patterned jeans for an outfit that will make a statement. Or you can take it a step further and wear a neutral top with a blazer.
Leather jacket
Leather jackets have always been a classic because of their ability to dress up and dress down an outfit. Wearing these attractive jackets allows you to add a masculine layer to any look. Leather jackets, especially in black, are great pieces that can be paired with almost anything in your closet.
Long boots
On social media sites like TikTok and Pinterest, we’re constantly seeing tall boots coming back into style, whether they’re cowboy, round, or square toed. These types of boots go well with any type of dress or skirt. If you want to wear a shorter skirt during the fall, throw on some tall boots to keep your feet warm on cool fall days.
Parachute pants
Parachute pants are a trend we’ve seen more often than not these days. These pants tend to be tan or white, but colors like army green and black are also being used. These pants tend to sit low on the waist and can be paired with various tops, jackets and vests for a cool and futuristic style..
Dress pants
Dress pants have always been used in the professional world, but recently they have become a popular trend in street style and minimalist fashion. A popular pair of dress pants that can be seen circulating on social media are the Dickies 874, with the waistband folded down. Corset tops and dress pants are a great combination for an elegant and powerful look.
Cargo pants
Short and long, loaded skirts are seen all over the fashion scene. On the runway, the Miu Miu brand had a low-waisted tan mini skirt in its Spring 2022 October 2021 run. These skirts are a great throwback to early 2000s fashion. Wear one with a top neutral color tube and a leather jacket or jeans to make a perfect Y2K inspired look.
Crochet sweater
Crochet has been a consistent summer trend for the past couple of years, but we’ve recently seen it cross over into fall fashion. These tops are not only stylish but also functional to keep you warm while still allowing for airflow. A crocheted sweater over a tank, bra or button-up can be paired with any style of pants or skirt to elevate your look.
