After reading our fall fashion preview with fantastic stylists Nicole and Lori (if you didn’t catch it, you can read it here), I’m sure that you, like me, are feeling inspired and ready to work on your fall wardrobe. Here I’ve compiled a bunch of products that our stylists have assured us will be hot for fall, so consider this a one-stop shop for the biggest trends of the season. Ready? Let’s go!
Shearling looks to be a big trend, and that’s something you probably want to wear as an outer layer – check out a motorcycle jacket or a hooded jacket from Aqua. Joe’s Jeans offers a casual cropped jacket in one of the season’s hot colors: gray. Think shearling on a jacket is too predictable? Try Elie Tahari’s clog booties with shearling – although I’m admittedly iffy on clogs, these are pretty stylish.
Sweater dresses are also a great fall option. You could never go wrong with a classic piece like Ralph Lauren Black Label’s gorgeous, camel-colored dress – another hot color for fall! (However, if your budget is telling you that dress is not an option, check out Victoria’s Secret. You can get the same buckled look in a long sweater for a significantly lower price.) And speaking of good deals, Victoria’s Secret also has a sweater dress with an asymmetrical neckline that’s also very cute. Want something a little funkier? Nanette Lepore’s “Bellezza” sweater dress has some beautiful embroidery – not much jewelry required to jazz that one up!
Leggings are hanging around to keep your legs warm as the seasons change, but this season the emphasis is on the unusual. Marc by Marc Jacobs and Alice + Olivia offer tuxedo-stripe style pants that blend knits and leather – hot! Alice + Olivia also has some faux leather leggings, but you can get a shiny metallic look for much less at Forever 21 (only $12!) James Jeans has some corduroy leggings, and M Missoni has some black and white space dyed ones, but my favorite are the knit and ribbed styles like these from Tory Burch and – my ultimate favorite – these cashmere leggings from Donna Karan New York.
And finally, shoes. Want ankle boots? Just click this link and go crazy! Want tougher, biker-chic boots (or just some with flatter heels)? You will be in heaven. What more do you need? Happy Almost Fall!
