As a fashion writer, I am well aware of all the style trends. I spend my work days looking at department store websites, rewatching fashion week shows and even people watching in my native New York to see what the coolest people are wearing. With this season, one thing is certain: people are having more fun experimenting with bright colors and unique textures.
Instead of sticking to quiet autumn palettes and simple designs, the styles I see feel big and bold – and these four trends are the ones to watch. I’m talking about attractive ballet flats that easily add a pop of color to any outfit. I also noticed an influx in Argyll jersey which adds a colorful vintage look to a simple get up. Satin pants also make the rounds with a soft, textured look. And as for the basics? Well, they are also getting an update. Boat neck tops are quickly replacing boring crew shirts, which is why they are everywhere.
These trends are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, and I’ve made it even easier for you by finding these writer-approved picks. Keep reading (and shop away) to feel like your most stylish self this fall.
The 4 top fashion trends worth buying
Boatneck T-shirts
1. My favorite: Boat neck shirts have a real Parisian flair, especially when they’re shaped, like this merino wool blend tee.
2. All in the Mountains: Shirt details can change from casual to chic! In the case of this boat neck selection, the tasteful bell sleeves add just the right amount of movement.
3. Cold Shoulder: Keep things relaxed this fall with an off-the-shoulder sweater that’s made to be low on one side for an effortless, asymmetric look.
4. Cinch it: You’ve heard of the dress, but what about a t-shirt? This interesting top is an easy upgrade from your usual tee.
5. So romantic: Black lace and autumn just go hand in hand. This sailboat sleeve top has a subtle subtle flair that will have you reserving it for date night.
Argyle Jersey
6. Updated Argyll: Think this pattern is reserved for Grandpa? Let me believe otherwise. Argyle tweed gets a modern twist with this quarter-zip fleece top that’s as comfortable as it is fashionable.
7. Random pattern: I thought the Argyle pattern was a loud, in-your-face style. . . until I laid eyes on this minimalistic tonal sweater. If you love Argyle, this knitting selection will convert you.
8. So Studious: Sweater dresses may get a pretty rep, but this Argyle crewneck sweater has a more fashionable vibe that’s elevated and fun.
9. Cozy Cardigan: Mini cardigans are what all the cool girls are wearing this fall. Make your own statement with this soft Madewell selection – the Argyle print gives it more personality than the popular solid color options.
10. Sweater Dress: For a ‘one-and-done’ outfit that looks incredible with chunky loafers (a fall staple), all you need is this mini argyle sweater dress. This selection is not only very fashionable, but it will also keep you warm!
Satin Pants
11. Party Pants: Jeans? They don’t know. I just wear these wide satin trousers all season long. They are extremely comfortable because of the elastic waist, and the beautiful sheen shines in the light.
12. Textured and Swingy: I always reserved palazzo pants for the summer, until I laid my eyes on this pleated satin style that completely updated my fall wardrobe.
13. Good choices: I love what Abercrombie & Fitch has to offer Us options – the favorite satin pants come in 12 colors. The same issue? I want them all. Good thing they are on sale!
14. The real deal: Pure silk pants for under $100? It almost sounds too good to be true, but Quince created the most luxurious pull-over caps. Bonus: They can be thrown in the wash.
15. Modern Elegance: Structured satin trousers are extremely versatile. Just look at this couple; they can easily be worn to business meetings or for fun nights out on the town.
Colorful Ballet Flats
16. Dotted Dreams: Add some color to your fall wardrobe with these sunny polka dot flats. Every time you look down, you won’t be able to stop yourself from smiling!
17. Print, Please: Between the bright pink color and the textured sides, these ballet flats are total statements. We also love how they fold up perfectly to fit in your purse.
18. Fun Spice: A cross between ballet flats and sneakers, these neon Puma flats are perfect for those who walk everywhere. No blisters here!
19. fire: Red shoes are always a good idea. These red leather ballet flats look super stylish with the polished metal embellishments on the strap.
20. Walk on the Wild Side: I’ve seen snakeskin boots, but snakeskin flats are a whole new wheelhouse. These will give your outfit a cool girly edge in pine green or black.
