Hello, Autumn! We’ve missed you and all the snug-as-a-bug vibes—but most of all, we’ve missed the fact that this season often brings some of the best fashion moments of the year! Anyone who’s even a little into clothing knows for a fact that, compared to other seasons, fall style is unmatched.

Hottest fall fashion trends

There’s no need to hold back this autumn. Go as fashion-forward as your stylish heart desires, and—if you’re looking for a place to get some inspiration for some major head-turning moments this season—look no further than right below!

Avant-garde dresses

As the saying goes, “go avant-garde or go home.”

Avant-garde styles will always have a place in fall fashion because the nature of this style often calls for grandiosity and elaborate designs. Such garments are best worn during colder weather because they can not only keep you warm, but also deliver a newsworthy look. Pair avant-garde dresses with bold and beautiful colors like scarlet red or hunter green, and you’re runway-ready.

Where to shop:

  • Akira: Don’t be surprised if you spend all night on this site! Here lie so many eclectic and unique dresses you’ve ever seen in one place. And the best part is, no two are the same. Get ready for people asking you where you got your outfit from nonstop.

Furs

Nothing says “autumn” like some fur!

This plush fabric takes everything that people love about fall fashion—the warmth, the extravagance, the coziness—and rolls it all into one. Whether it be a fur coat, shawl, ear muffs or even a belt, add a dash of fur to the piece, and it’s going to result in you looking too expensive to touch. As for the outfit underneath, the possibilities are endless! No matter how you style it, the fur will do all the talking.

Where to shop:

Azalea Wang Telluride-Tan Faux Fur Patchwork Shearling Coat

  • Azalea Wang: Furs come in all different shapes, styles and colors. This brand certainly has something you’re looking for—darker furs, multicolored furs, sherpa furs, etc. There are so many options, it’ll make your head spin.

Maxi skirts

When people think of a maxi skirt, summer or spring usually come to mind. But why leave the flowy feeling for the warmer months only? Spinning around in a pumpkin patch is just as fun as doing so on the golden sands of the beach. Maxi skirts are slowly but surely becoming an evergreen item that has no limits to when or how they can be worn.

Where to shop:

Cider Mid Rise Tiered Maxi Skirt
Cider / Cider
  • Cider: Maxi skirts always know how to make people feel regal, and Cider goes above and beyond with its vast array of options to ensure customers feel just that. Whether you’re someone who likes an ankle-length moment or who wants a little bit of a trail, this site has got you covered.

Monochrome ensembles

Monochrome outfits are a fun way to show off your favorite fall colors. Whether it’s different shades of brown, orange or red—so long as the entire outfit matches, any single color would be a stellar way to pull off this classic look.

Where to shop:

Amanda Uprichard Ceronne Top and Skort

  • Revolve: The brand is home to many top designer brands, which means there are loads of clothes available for you to choose from. Whatever color you want to use for the monochrome look, you’re bound to find an entire outfit on this site. For example, for an all-cherry look, try the Amanda Uprichard Ceronne Top and Bottom and pair it with the Rails Dria Jacket ($398) and the Sam Edelman Sylvia Boot ($200). Thank us later!

Stilletos and socks

Heels with socks are one of the trends taking the fall fashion world by storm. The combination works by mixing pretty with practical, resulting in a dynamic duo that’s stronger together. It solves the problem of feeling chilly while wearing heels in the fall, and it also solves the problem of having cool socks but not wanting them to be covered by a knee-high boot. It’s a win-win, all around!

Where to shop:

Public Desire
Public Desire / Public Desire
  • Public Desire: This online store is a great place to get pointed heels without having to worry about breaking the bank. From kitten heels to 6-inch heels, the shoes come in various lengths and sizes to choose from.
  • Sockologie: Socks can certainly make a statement, and this is one of the best places to start your sock journey. The products are creative and fun. You can even make custom designs to your liking.

Suit sets

Preppy aesthetic is the way to go for this fall season. After all, it’s a sophisticated style to fall back on without having to worry about any of the garments losing that timeless feel. The blazer suit jacket can be worn with its matching pant bottom, or it can be swapped out for a mini skirt of the same color. In the same way, the slacks can be kept the same, but a turtle neck or a lace long-sleeve top can replace the blazer.

Where to shop:

Express
Express / Express
  • Express: You can bet Express has everything to get you ready and keep you prepared for the fall season. The suits that are on the site are incredible. And, if you're feeling fancy, you can mix and match sets to make an even more unique look.

Trench coats

Trench coats are an effortless way to ensure fall fashion is still front and center of everything you put on. After all, it’s the last step before you walk through the door and into that cold weather, so there’s no need to stress about what’s underneath, especially if you have a real stunner taking the place of the opening act. Textures like snakeskin or fabrics like suede do a fine job at making sure your trench coat is a heavy hitter.

Where to shop:

MANGO
MANGO / MANGO
  • MANGO: This is a one-stop shop to get every kind of trench coat for every need. The brand offers high-quality coats that will last for many autumns and winters. Each coat creates a silhouette that radiates a powerful aura.

Fall colors and fabrics to incorporate

Looking to mix up the colors and fabrics in your wardrobe this season? Here are the shades and styles that keep popping up on our timelines!

Burgundy

There are plenty of colors that are perfect for fall, and burgundy definitely fits the bill. It’s not too light nor too dark, making it a pigment that complements nearly any color you have in your closet. Burgundy is also an outstanding shade to use for a monochrome look.

Cocoa

Cocoa-brown is the color of hot chocolate—one of the most popular drinks of the fall season. Incorporating the hue into your fall outfits pays the highest honor to the beloved season.

Knits

Knitwear and coziness go hand-in-hand. The cotton of knits practically melts into your skin, giving you that toasty feeling. And, of course, feeling good is not where this fabric stops, as knitwear also looks exceptionally dreamy.

Suede

Need a dose of lavishness in your outfit? Suede is a fine place to begin. The fabric introduces a lush vibe that’s sure to take your look from ordinary to extraordinary. There will be nothing boring about your fall fashion with this refined and upscale material.

Best fall accessories

Looking to add a new element to some of the fall fashions you already have in your closet? These accessories may be the answers you’re looking for.

  • Colorful tights: For an extra pop of color, add some tights in vibrant and distinct colors to make your ensemble stand out from the rest.
