2024 Fall Fashion distilled to 6 trends. Step into fall with your best foot forward.
This is a longer piece, so I recommend reading in the browser so you don’t miss anything!
The summer sun's setting, and you can nearly smell the pencil dust hot off the sharpener: it's back to school time! In New Mexico where I live, they start roasting green chiles when the air gets crisp. They smell sooo good.
I have visceral memories of what September felt like growing up in Vancouver, Canada: the promise of new beginnings!
A new planner
School supplies (I literally dream about pencils and erasers)
A few new pieces for my back to school wardrobe
At this magic time of year where it seems like we’re in perpetual golden hour, anything feels possible.
If we had a time machine to see what I was wearing back then, here’s what it would be like…
Ya girl loves corduroy and earth tones.
Let's fire up your fall wardrobe!
2024 Fall Style Guide
I did the fall fashion trend research so you don’t have to:
01 Wide leg pants
02 Long sheer skirts
03 Leopard print
04 Ankle boots
05 Bracelet watch
06 Trench coat
01 Wide leg pants
Fashion is a funny, fickle thing. We’ve been wearing skinny jeans for [checks watch]… basically forever. And whenever the pendulum swings, it goes far in the other direction. Bye-bye skinny jeans, hello wide leg pants.
I just snagged these Cary High Rise Slouchy Wide Leg Jeans from Reformation for $84, originally $168. Excited to wear them every day.
02 Sheer skirts
Even though the hemlines are longer this season, she still teases with designs in sheer fabrics. In the Style Guide image above, you’ll see this Commense Plain Sheer Elegant Skirt.
03 Leopard Print
Let your inner animal out with leopard print. You could sport it on your feet, in a handbag, on your foundation garments, ie. bra and panties — wherever you feel primal.
04 Ankle Boots
While skinny jeans were all the rage, the shaft of boots were shorter. Now that flare and wider leg pants are back, higher shaft ankle boots are taking center stage.
This warm, chocolate brown is upstaging the taupe and beige we’ve worn as of late.
05 Bracelet Watch
I’ve been wearing a smart watch for years, which is great for tracking sleep and steps… and leaves something to be desired, style wise (just a little).
I got my eye on bracelet watches like this Raquel watch from Fossil. J’adore!
06 Trench Coat
A trench is a magical transition piece when the weather cools. You can layer it up, like H&M did here with a hoodie. I love the length of this trench — stylistically it’s eye-catching, and practical, to protect you from the elements.
So that’s the trend report. Do you have a favorite? Is there something you’re adding to your wish list?
May the record show: just because a fashion trend comes onto the scene, you are in no way obligated to fall in step (See what I did there? 😆). Consent matters here!
Things come, and go. And if you hold onto your quality pieces long enough, you can just fold them back in rotation the next time they’re in the queue.
