As the air crisps and our fall wardrobes begin to thaw out, what better way to jumpstart cold-weather dressing than to shop a fresh wave of trends? From the fall/winter 2024 collections debuting in February to now, it’s finally time to implement our favorite fall trends into the rotation.
Fall offers so many ways to play with fashion including layering, outerwear, and (everyone’s favorite) denim. Trends ranged from aesthetics (like modern elegance and effortless bohemian) to materials (technical and utilitarian fabrics) to silhouettes (funnel necks and dramatic waists) but it’s confirmed, Zara didn’t miss one.
Zara is known for their ability to translate runway trends into wearable pieces (sans runway price tag) and their latest styles do just that. Below, find runway-inspired trends that will immediately upgrade your fall looks.
Technical Touches
Utilitarian materials combined with elevated silhouettes makes a case for the perfect fall outerwear. Waxed, rubberized, and water-repellent fabrics are at the forefront of this trend. When combined with sleek and classic sportswear shapes, these technical pieces are the quintessential example of functional fashion.
Accessories Forward
There isn’t much that can level-up your look quicker than a statement accessory. The fall runways were chocked full of bold accessories all the way down to socks, headwear, and gloves. Pick a playful piece to add to your fall closet whether it be hardware accents, oversized bangles, or bow details.
Big Boho Energy
The easy-going, ’70s-inspired trend found a resurgence in Chemena Kamali’s debut fall/winter 2024 show for Chloé. Peasant blouses, exaggerated hobo bags, and statement belts were some of the hero pieces that have also trickled down to the mass market. Mammoth shoulder bags are already shaping up to become one of fall’s biggest trends.
Absolute Elegance
Smart, elegant dressing is at the forefront for fall with sophistication endorsed by houses like Prada and Alaia. Nailing this aesthetic includes timeless tailored pieces and the glamorous accessories. Stock up on refined suiting, sensible heels, and luxe satins.
Shifting Silhouettes
Every season it’s exciting to see what imaginative shapes the designers have brought to the runways. The manipulation of omnipresent pieces makes them feel fresh, yet still attainable. This season, cigarette pants were kept lean and straight, knits and blazers were nipped in for an exaggerated waistline, and necklines were brought up in the form of funnel necks and mock necks.
