The Essentials You Need This Fall
Ah, fall—my favorite time of year. From New York to Milan, Paris to London, the streets are alive with energy as fashion lovers from all over the world converge in these iconic cities. The excitement is palpable, flowing through every corner and straight into the heart of the style scene. The sartorial magic of these cities has taught me so much about dressing for the season—they soothe my sweet, luxurious soul. Don’t get me wrong, summer is great with all its beachy vibes, but fall? That’s where the real magic happens. It’s when we can truly play with our wardrobes, and let’s be honest—nothing beats the art of layering when the evenings get chillier.
As we step into fashion month, here’s a preview of the trends that will dominate the streets of NYC, London, Paris, and Milan.
A Moment for Miu Miu
Miuccia Prada keeps us on our toes yet again with Miu Miu’s latest collection, blending timeless elegance with a modern edge. Think cropped leather bombers, vintage fur coats, and the ultimate peacoat—all nodding to the brand’s heritage while signaling the future of fashion.
Chloe’s Winter Wonderland
Chloe’s Winter 2024 collection channels a bohemian renaissance with a dash of ethereal elegance. Think sheer, flowy gowns paired with moody accessories that scream chic. Chunky clogs, rose-tinted aviators, and delicate floral lace are redefining the boho babe. With Sienna Miller gracing the front row, Chloe’s collection is sure to be the talk of the season.
Gucci’s Resurgence: Milan’s Latest Marvel
Gucci is officially back. And by back, I mean they’re reaching into their roots, channeling Tom Ford’s iconic, sultry glam. Thigh-high riding boots with the signature horse-bit detail? Yes, please. Picture rich blues, deep maroons, and earthy mosses wrapped up in luxurious oversized outerwear, glittering with just a hint of crystal embellishment. It’s the bold, statement fashion we’ve been craving. And those black thigh-highs? Get ready to live in them this fall.
FALL ESSENTIALS: WHAT YOU NEED THIS SEASON
Maxi Skirts
Whether it’s denim, silk, or suede, maxi skirts are having a major moment. Suede, in particular, screams fall and adds the perfect touch of texture to any outfit.
Square Toe Boots
Khaite brought the heat with square toe boots, and they’re an absolute must. Ideal for adding a bit of edge to your look.
Zebra Print
Get wild! Zebra print is taking over from statement coats to chic accessories, and I am all in.
Oversized Trenches
Oversized trenches are the layer of the season. The Row offers a lightweight version perfect for those transitional days. Style it with denim and loafers or stirrup leggings and ballet flats. Pro tip: as the temperature drops, add an oversized cashmere sweater and finish with riding or western boots for that effortlessly chic vibe.
Riding Boots
Let’s face it—riding boots are non-negotiable. Whether you go for Stuart Weitzman, Hermès, Celine, or Gucci, pick your poison.
Oversized Blazers
We’re still deep in oversized blazer territory, but this season? Cinch that waist and pair with skinny jeans or Wolford leggings. Riding boots and Lulu ribbed align leggings? Chef’s kiss.
Velvet Ballet Flats & Loafers
Velvet ballet flats and loafers are the vibe this fall. Bonus points if you pair them with knee socks.
Skinny Jeans Are Back
I’ve always been a fan of skinny jeans, and this season they’re back with a polished twist. Skip the distressed styles for a more refined look. Not feeling the skinnies? Boot cuts are still trending, and Elsa Hosk is serving all the inspo on how to wear them.
As we dive into fashion month, keep an eye out for these trends gracing the streets of NYC, London, Paris, and Milan. This fall is about mastering that perfect balance between effortless chic and bold statement dressing. Get ready to take your wardrobe to new heights—fall fashion magic is about to begin.
