Fall is my favorite season. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Life begins again when it gets in the fall”, and I feel like that quote describes me to a T when the leaves start changing and the air starts getting a little cooler in the mornings. This year the official first day of autumn is Monday, September 23, and down here in the south, it’s still like 1,000 degrees at the end of September, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s time to slowly start switching out my Spring/Summer clothes with my Fall/Winter Wardrobe.
With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale {N Sale} that started today if you’re a cardholder, I wanted to share some of my favorite fall trends that hit all of the Fashion Week runways. I’m using this list to focus on what things I want to buy from the N Sale and going forward as we get closer to the fall season.
1.) Lots of Leather (head to toe in an array of colors)
2.) Rebellious, Good Goth (all-black and futuristic)
3.) Sharp Suits (blazer and skirt/trouser set)
4.) Highlighter Hues (pops of neon in a monochromatic look and color-blocked – pink, yellow, blue)
5.) Baby Bags (super small handbags)
6.) Down to Earth (Earthy tones – rich brown, taupe, beige)
7.) Anti-Statement Statement Coats (bold, sleek color coats)
8.) English Tweed (capes, belted coats, and pleated skirts)
9.) Walk on the Wild Side (leopard-spotted, python-printed, zebra-striped)
10.) Head-to-Toe Camel (classic color that never goes out of style)
11.) Fresh Way to Wear a Blazer (with a miniskirt)
12.) KNITS (layering of knits…sweater over a sweater; knit bra under a cardigan)
13.) Crayon Legs (multicolored tights)
14.) Bedding Jackets (quilted items)
15.) Classics with a Twist (updated trench coats, fresh denim styling, punk-inspired bags/suits)
16.) High Shine (lame – silver)
17.) Bougie Girl (bow blouse with a pleated skirt and jacket)
18.) Fall in Bloom (dark florals)
19.) At Attention (brass-buttoned outwear, combat boots, and camo)
20.) Rock and Roll Metallics (great for a night-out)
21.) Finishing Touches (statement hats, triple-layer necklaces)
Which trend do you think you’ll be styling the most? I definitely love leather and bold colors, and I can’t wait to incorporate these trends and new items into my fall wardrobe this year! I love mixing items from last year’s fall wardrobe with this year’s to really create my own style. Tag me on Insta {@fivefeetoffashionblog} so I can see how you styled pieces to make your own trendy outfits!
