Ready for Fall? These Are the Top 2024 Fashion Trends to Shop Now

A Bohemian Mood

Elements of boho lead the charge for fall, but the focus is on luxurious classics with effortless movement—think romantic blouses, A-line skirts, and waist-cinching silhouettes that strike a more mature chord for fall. Chloé’s creative director Chemena Kamali described it best in her interview with Vogue Business and Vogue Runway’s global director Nicole Phelps as an “intuitive way of dressing” with an emphasis on “lightness, fluidity, and emotion.” A number of styles on the market that reflect this carefree spirit—like the romantic tops and lace and silk dresses that play with transparency and rippling ruffles—may feel familiar, but designers presented them in new and inviting ways. At Chloé, a gossamer, ruffled top looks decidedly modern when contrasted with leather separates (don’t miss the cape). A full skirt in two-tone leather or in an unexpected suede shade (Bottega Veneta) feels like a revelation in texture. Lean into accessories to play up your personal style—consider belts (Loewe’s button-ups comes pre-styled with a built-in one), gloves, and statement jewelry (à la Chanel) for finishing touches that define your point of view.

Modern Elegance

The ladylike energy that was sprinkled into spring wardrobes make its presence felt for fall, with cold-weather ensembles that bridge minimalism with a sense of feminine timelessness. The key buys here are a collarless blazer—short and fitted for fall; as a cocoon or scarf coat longer for winter—and pencil skirt (leather, wool; perhaps even exposed like at Prada). Artfully draped dresses and blouses (Bottega Veneta, Liberowe) and sweaters with built-in scarves (Carven) bring polish, and inspiration, to the fall layering conundrum.

The Great Outdoors

Perhaps it was a collective yearning to bring slowness and nature back into our fast-paced urban lives, as utilitarian styles anchored many fall collections. Access to a cabin in the woods might not be in the cards for all, but practical, outdoorsy pieces can—and should—find a home in one’s fall essentials lineup. Flannel shirts, barn jackets, and chore coats in tweed, plaid, and waxed cotton go from farmhouse to rustic café without feeling out of place—while maintaining a sense of luxury that doesn’t come at the cost of wearability. Find key styles at Chloé, Barbour, Miu Miu, and Altuzarra. A corduroy pant or Fair Isle knit lets you to tap into the mood, too.

Luxury Textures

Texture thrives during the fall and no material—from velour to shaggy knit—is off-limits this fall. Look to Khaite and Proenza Schouler for luxe leathers; Prada and Massimo Dutti for sumptuous suedes, and Toteme and Loulou Studio for cuddly coats—distinct pieces that are meant to complete our mental picture of transitional dressing.

Everyday Preciousness

Why save your best pieces for just special occasions? From Stella McCartney to Undercover, designers and brands are encouraging us to inject playfulness and whimsy into the everyday. The unwritten style memo? Have fun! That can be achieved with Cos’s embellished denim worn to the grocery store; teaming up J.Crew’s sequin skirt with a white T-shirt and shrunken crewneck, or topping off a weekend look with a glitter-threaded sweatshirt. For holiday dressing, expect to see more fringe, feather, and sequin—on dresses, knits, and outerwear—that can be restyled well after the new year.
