Below, we've rounded up the seven standout trends for fall 2024, along with some ideas on how to make them your own personal outfits. Stay tuned and start shopping!
Everything is upside down
Fall is upon us, but good news—that doesn't mean you have to give up on florals! For the fall season, designers have fully embraced appliqué, traditionally considered a spring print. Printed florals have been in abundance this runway season from designers like Loewe, Richard Quinn, Erdem, and Loro Piana (to name a few). These collections focus on elegant options, showing us that wallpaper-inspired prints, whether worn head-to-toe or as an accent in an accessory, are just as chic outside the home as they are inside.
La Vie Bohème
Thanks to Chemena Kamali's debut collection for Chloé, the free-spirited vibes of the '70s and the boho aesthetic of the early 2000s are making a major comeback for fall. Expect a comeback of flowy dresses and puffy chiffon tops, embellished with ruffles and infused with a carefree femininity we can all get behind. Whether you're new to this trend or discovering it for the first time, remember that it's not just about the clothes—accessories play a crucial role, too. From bold statement necklaces and stacked bracelets to oversized sunglasses and platform wedges, these romantic looks really come alive with a touch (or a lot) of metal.
Bundled, packed and ready
Who knew your cozy blanket would be the next big fashion trend for the fall 2024 season? In the coming months, it's time to get cozy, curb your fears, and wrap yourself in the softest cashmere. From shawl coats to ponchos, capes, and more from designers like Proenza Schouler and Brandon Maxwell, it's safe to say that wrapping up has never looked or felt so good. As temperatures slowly drop (summer is, alas, over), we encourage you to warm up to this trend and incorporate it into your fall wardrobe.
Border flair
This fall it’s all about the border! Ralph Lauren has focused on his western heritage for the upcoming season, evoking a ranch-ready spirit through the use of fun fringe and supple suede, while Pharrell Williams took French brand Louis Vuitton on a very American journey for his latest men's collection. The T&C fashion department and I are excited to embrace this trend – get ready to see us in our suede fringe jackets and join us in celebrating this rodeo renaissance!
Get ready
Enjoy the drama of bold necklines – outerwear is no exception. Put a modern spin on the classic trench coat: the high-neck silhouette. This funnel or suspender-shaped design combines functionality with fashion, offering protection from the cold and adding a dose of extravagance to your look. Although new high-neck coats are available, don't forget your tried-and-true trench coats. Their versatile design often allows you to adjust and accentuate the collar, allowing you to achieve the look and give it a more modern style.
Age of elegance
Make way, Brat Summer – a new era of elegance and sophistication, led by brands like Prada and Miu Miu. This season, these fashion giants are reviving the sophisticated charm of the 1950s, presenting collections that combine timeless grace with a modern twist. Expect a comeback of midi skirts (in both the full and pencil variety) that exude classic femininity, alongside vintage-inspired slip dresses that evoke a sense of nostalgic glamour. Contemporary pearls add a touch of understated luxury, while kitten heels and elegant gloves enhance the overall sophistication of the look. Additionally, brands like Carven and Chanel conjure up the image of a modern swan – graceful, confident and effortlessly stylish – marking a shift towards a more refined and elegant aesthetic.
Relaxed Royals
Whether you're actually retreating to a quaint English country house or just dreaming about it, we invite you to dress to match this fall. Embrace the trend with functional hunting jackets and a rich selection of textures – think checks, herringbone, diamonds and tweed. Mixing and matching these elements will add depth to your look for opulent yet understated style. Explore British heritage brands like Vivienne Westwood and Burberry, or experience the trend from an American perspective with Altuzarra. Either way, you'll embody the sophisticated, relaxed elegance of modern royalty – exactly the vibe we're all aiming for.
