It’s fall! Spooky season is here and so is the onslaught of autumn fashion trends. I love a fashion trend, and the fashion folks love fall because it’s an in-between season that truly allows for so much play in your outfits. As the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, so does our wardrobe. Autumn fashion trends for 2024 are rolling in, and they bring with them a mix of cozy, edgy, and timeless pieces that are perfect for the season. Let’s dive into the top trends that are set to dominate this fall AND most importantly, some evergreen autumn trends you can use year after year.
Autumn Fashion Trends for Fall
Suede
Suede is making a strong comeback this fall, bringing a soft and luxurious texture to everything from jackets to bags. This fabric is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to your autumn outfits. I will caution you on suede shoes. They look incredible, but with rain and dirt are really hard to keep clean and maintained. Instead the bags or skirts would be an ideal choice.
This autumn trend is all about embracing the rich, earthy tones of the season, which we love for our the Autumn color palettes, of course, and the Soft Summer color palettes.
Studs
Studded details are another autumn fashion trend that’s adding a bit of edge to this season’s wardrobe. From studded leather jackets to belts, this trend is about incorporating a touch of rebellion into your look. It’s the perfect way to mix a bit of rock ‘n’ roll or shine into your otherwise cozy fall outfits.
You can find studs in mixed metals too, which is fun for making these pieces that last more than one season.
The Utility Jacket
The ‘Worker’ jacket or utility jacket is a key piece for autumn fashion 2024. Inspired by utilitarian styles, this jacket combines functionality with fashion. It’s perfect for layering over chunky sweaters or pairing with jeans and boots for a rugged, yet stylish, look. This trend blends practicality with an effortlessly cool vibe. That said, the cut of these jackets can overwhelm certain body shapes, so choose one that best compliments you if you like the look.
Bermudas
Bermuda shorts are making a surprising comeback this autumn, worn in creative and unexpected ways. This season, you’ll see them paired with blazers for a sophisticated look, or with bomber jackets for an edgy vibe. Some fashion enthusiasts are even styling Bermudas with long socks and boots, tucking them under for a modern twist. This versatile piece is no longer just for casual wear—Bermudas are becoming a statement item that can be dressed up or down.

Autumn Fashion Trends That Never Go Out Of Style
But we don’t really need to jump on every trend. Instead, here are ways you can elevate your autumn fashion choices without buying everything new. In fact, no matter what the autumn fashion trends are next year, you’ll still be able to use these style tips.
Layering
Layering is the cornerstone of autumn fashion. As temperatures fluctuate, the ability to add or remove layers keeps you comfortable while allowing for endless outfit combinations. Think turtlenecks under slip dresses, or oversized cardigans over slim-fit tops. The key is to mix different textures and lengths to create depth and interest in your outfit.
Belt It
A simple belt can completely transform your autumn look. Cinching in the waist of a dress or oversized sweater with a belt not only adds shape but also pulls your outfit together in a polished way. The trend this autumn is to belt your blazer and I have seen this just about every other year- so it will be back around. Choose a classic leather belt or go bold with a statement belt to add a personal touch to your autumn fashion.
Mix Metals (in Your Accessories)
Mixing metals in your accessories is a great way to add a modern twist to your autumn outfits. Don’t be afraid to wear gold, silver, and rose gold together—this trend is all about breaking the rules and creating a cohesive yet eclectic look. Whether it’s rings, necklaces, or bracelets, mixing metals adds a touch of sophistication and versatility to your style.
Now I know you might be working on collecting items within your color palette, but accessories and metals are a great way to play, so don’t feel too confined by what metal is best for your palette – especially in the fall. Focus on color first. 🙂
Mix Textures
Combining different textures is another timeless approach to autumn fashion. Pairing a sequin bag with tortoiseshell sunglasses or a chunky knit sweater with a silk scarf can create a dynamic and visually interesting outfit. This fall, don’t shy away from contrasting textures—it’s all about creating a rich and layered look that feels both luxurious and approachable.
Two Opposites
Autumn is the perfect time to experiment with juxtaposition in your wardrobe. Think leather and lace, chunky boots with delicate dresses, or structured blazers over flowy skirts. This trend plays with the balance between hard and soft, creating outfits that are both edgy and feminine. It’s a stylish way to express different sides of your personality through fashion.
Boots—With Anything
When it comes to autumn footwear, boots are the ultimate staple. Whether you prefer ankle boots, knee-highs, or combat boots, they pair perfectly with just about any outfit. From dresses and skirts to jeans and trousers, boots add a touch of autumnal flair while keeping you warm and stylish. This trend is timeless and versatile, making it a reliable go-to for any autumn outfit.
Autumn Fashion Trends Should Feel Like You
As we embrace the autumn season, it’s the perfect time to explore new fashion trends while also leaning on your OWN style. What I see some folks do is buy orange and brown – tons of it- and think that will make the perfect fall look. While you can totally play with color, you don’t need to buy outside of your color palette and preferences for any season, even autumn.
Whether you’re incorporating something new into your wardrobe or simply refining your look with layering, belts, and boots, autumn offers a fun opportunity to mix, match, and express your style in creative ways. Remember, fashion is about feeling good in what you wear, so pick the trends and styles that resonate with you and make this fall your most fashionable one yet.
