Although the leaves are still wearing their summer green, it’s not too early to get a jump-start on planning your fall closet reset. Here are some of the season’s trends to consider embracing.
animal prints
It’s a jungle out there, and in the fashion landscape, cheetah and leopard are the darlings this season (although tiger and zebra prints are always classic). If head-to-toe is too over the top, pick an accessory to represent your favorite spot or stripe.
patterns
Mad for plaid? Hungry for houndstooth? Patterns play well together, so don’t be afraid to mix and match. For a simpler look, pair a patterned scarf with your favorite solids.
metallics
You’ll shine day or night in studs, grommets or chains in silver, gold, bronze and pewter.
boots
Over-the-knee styles are getting the most attention. Not willing to go that high? There is an abundance of choices from the ankle on up.
understated luxury
Subtle and chic, a monochromatic look in a luxurious fabric speaks volumes. Pair with strands of pearls.
handbags
From itsy-bitsy clutches to super-sized carryalls, you’re sure to find a trend that suits your mood. A small, simple structure is always a safe bet.
statement hats
From beanies to buckets, every style in rich, vibrant colors commands attention.
bold colors
Summer isn’t the only time you can wear bright colors. Brighten up your fall wardrobe with bold outerwear.
