I foresaw the autumn dominance of Birkenstocks before they were ubiquitous. I utilize it to get clothing ideas for 1990s and 2000s fashion by looking at photos from those decades. And now I’m sourcing the best fall outfit trends from Fashion Month. Although Fashion Month is concluded, its influence has only just begun.
All of the runway events gave us insight into the spring and summer fashion trends of ’23, much like the classic blue scene from The Devil Wears Prada. However, street style is a treasure trove of fall and winter fashion inspiration.
Here are the fall wardrobe essentials I’m seeking for based on Fashion Week trends:
Brown Leather Outerwear
I’ve been seeing brown leather for some time, especially on Miss Hailey Bieber, and this Fashion Month marked its debut. Leather is an autumn essential. Last year, these Aritzia leather pants dominated the party scene. However, brown leather is the trend this season. You cannot go wrong with a blazer jacket, a bomber jacket, or a moto jacket.
This Abercrombie Long Length Vegan Leather Coat is my favorite for achieving this style with the trench fashion of the 1990s. Extremely Zoe Kravitz from High Fidelity. ASOS offers a fantastic brown Retro Faux Leather Bomber for the bomber jacket look. And you can save a ton on this leather motorcycle jacket with street-style appeal from Quince.
Double Denim
Denim is not typical. I’ve always appreciated a good Canadian tuxedo, but Fashion Month has shed fresh light on the fan-favorite ensemble. Denim garments are becoming increasingly intriguing. Combine your trusted Levi’s with a heavily distressed, oversized denim jacket – the more tears and patches, the better. Alternatively, play with a denim midi skirt and a denim crop top. Your alternatives are unlimited.
You can wear double Levi’s, a style I always adore. Alternately, you can go for the sustainable, vintage-inspired collection at Re/Done, a favorite among the fashion and street style scene. Try teaming the Denim Chore Jacket from Universal Standard with your favorite pair of jeans for a timeless look.
Long Skirts
Due to Miu Miu, the micro-mini skirt ruled the previous season. It dominated our feeds and is still popular, but long skirts are here to steal the spotlight. Denim! Tweed! Nylon! All of your favorite fashion girls are becoming eccentric and incorporating long skirts into their outfits. Perfect for autumn.
I like FRAME for all my denim needs, and this Midi Slit Skirt is my favorite. As a result of the dominance of Y2K fashion trends, parachute skirts have become the latest It-Girl style. These exquisite sage green Drawstring Parachute Cargo Slit Skirt will put you light-years ahead of current fashion trends.
White Following Labor Day
Neutral and beige hues dominated this season. The old adage “don’t wear white after Labor Day” is no longer applicable, and winter whites have arrived. From all-white suits to bridal-core, anything goes. You can either combine milky hues or experiment with texture to create dimension.
Add romance to your outfit by pairing this comfortable white cashmere sweater from Gentle Herd with these white satin pants from Intimissimi. Or make an impression at your holiday events with this bridal-inspired Cowl Neck Slip Dress from Fleur Du Mal.
Platform Footwear
The craze of cowboy boots is still going strong. I did not anticipate its longevity, but I still enjoy it. It also encouraged us to take greater risks with our footwear, hence the rise of platform shoes. Yes, we’ve been wearing sneakers with platforms for years. However, platform UGGs are now available; witness street style expert Bella Hadid. loafers with a heel platform Platform flip-flops in the style of the nineties And ultra-high platform sandals with straps. Observe your step!
Sleek Suiting
Blazers will always be a stylish accent to your ensemble. However, this season, suiting received an update. There was an abundance of slinky button-down shirts and fitted slacks. It appears that creatives desire business casual dress, but not in a “RTO” sense. In a cool way.
Something Navy’s customized vest is a great way to experiment with vests. Or, for a funkier take on the oversized jacket, try this rock-and-roll-inspired faux leather cutaway blazer from J. Crew.
