As the temperature drops and we sift through our closets, the burning question remains: What’s in and what’s out for the upcoming fall season?
Before we delve into the latest trends, a friendly reminder: Fashion trends are not one-size-fits-all. What’s trendy doesn’t necessarily have to be your go-to style. Be judicious when taking these trends into your wardrobe, ensuring they match your taste, body type, and lifestyle. Ultimately, your fashion choices should reflect your unique preferences, regardless of what the trend reports suggest.
1. Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans are stealing the spotlight as the most fashion-forward denim style for fall 2023. While all washes are making a splash, medium and light-to-medium washes are particularly prominent. While wide-leg crop jeans were a spring/summer favorite, we anticipate a shift toward ankle-length and full-length styles for fall. These jeans pair seamlessly with clogs, chunky loafers, booties, and even sneakers.
2. Button-Up Shirts
Button-up shirts are everywhere this year, boasting a wide array of styles, from traditional to oversized. You will find collarless designs, cropped cuts, split necklines, puff sleeves, and tie waists. These versatile shirts come in stripes, solids, prints, and mixed-media combinations, catering to various tastes.
3. Sleeveless Sweaters
Sweater vests and sleeveless sweater tanks are making a comeback, and they are among the personal favorites of the 2023 fall fashion trends. Their versatility shines as you can wear them now and layer underneath when the weather cools.
4. Clogs & Wood Platform Soles
Although not new this season, the clogs and wood platform soles trend is still going strong, especially when paired with wide-leg jeans and flares. These footwear options also complement denim skirts. For those seeking comfort, brands like Kork-Ease offer clogs with padded footbeds and stability.
5. Chunky Earrings
Statement earrings take center stage for fall and winter, providing an alternative to bracelets and necklaces. Chunky earrings and puffy hoops are gaining popularity, adding a touch of flair to your look.
6. Trousers
Relaxed trousers are giving denim a run for its money, particularly among fashion influencers. This trend is very suitable for those in need of work-appropriate attire. While denim remains a classic choice, exploring relaxed trousers can add versatility to your wardrobe.
7. Pointy Shoes
Pointed-toe flats and kitten heels, especially slingback styles, are making a strong comeback in the footwear department for this season.
8. Boxy Blazers
Fall fashion opens up a world of layering possibilities, and longer, boxy blazers continue to hold their ground. Tweed is making a significant appearance, alongside shorter “lady jackets.” To stay current in 2023, consider pairing blazers with fitted base layers, particularly crew and mock neck styles. Matching blazers with pants or shorts as suits is another notable trend this season.
9. Ribbed Dresses
Ribbed dresses are having their moment in the fall fashion scene. However, this dress can be challenging for those who have crossed a certain age.
10. Denim Midi Skirts
Longer denim skirts, both midi and maxi lengths, are making a comeback and gaining mainstream popularity this year. These skirts offer a chic and versatile addition to your wardrobe, perfect for various occasions.Keep these trends in mind as you navigate the fashion landscape for fall 2023. Whether you are a wide-leg jeans enthusiast, a fan of fitted base layers, or ready to explore new territory with ribbed dresses, there is something to suit every style preference.
