Fall is a time for change, and with changing seasons come new fashion trends. This season expect to see many contradictory trends. Head to toe black was seen on the runways of many designers but so too were bright colors like red, blue, green and pink. Short hemlines are everywhere as are maxi length coats. Textures are excessive such as faux fur and glittering sequins, but equally there are many sleek silky options available too.
The fall season can be a great time to add some new pieces to your wardrobe but when it comes to trends, it can be difficult to know which ones to buy into. It is necessary to seek out the trends that will have the greatest impact on a wardrobe. Here are some of the most wearable trends for fall 2022 that will give any closet an instant update:
Bomber jackets
Bomber jackets are such a classic fall trend – and they look great paired with just about anything, making them an easy to wear trend. The key to getting the look on point this year is to opt for an oversized fit. Wear over a striped tee, jeans, or a turtleneck dress for an edgy look, or pair it with a pleated midi skirt for a cute yet sophisticated ensemble. Add in some knee-high boots and a plaid scarf to stay warm on chilly days, and you’re good to go.
Short hemlines
Miniskirts are another characteristic fall trend that will look great with any wardrobe staple you already have. Wear them with sweaters, blazers, blouses, or anything you can think of to add a little bit of edge to your outfits. If you prefer a dress to separates then a minidress is the perfect so go fall outfit, you could choose from a selection of elegant short dresses by Fabiana Filippi. Miniskirts and dresses can be easily worn with tights and boots to ensure warmth in the colder weather, making them a styling and unintimidating option for all.
Maxi length
Maxi length skirts and dresses have featured strongly for a number of seasons now across summer and winter. However, this year it is the coat that is getting the long line treatment. Floor sweeping trenches and leather coats will be everywhere. Again, this is a very wearable trend as this style of coat will go with every outfit possibility and can be dressed up or down depending on the day.
Wide leg trouser
They have featured highly on the trending items for a couple of seasons now and they are returning again this fall. Wide leg trousers in all forms from a classic pant to denim jeans, high or low waisted are a must have. They are universally flattering and a trend that will seamlessly fit into any stylish woman’s wardrobe. When showcased on the catwalks, the standout features were movement and flow, to emulate the look choose high quality fabrics with great drape.
Corsets
One of the biggest trends this fall is corset tops. While this type of top has been around for a while, it has recently seen a resurgence in popularity. Designers included them in many collections and in a variety of fabrics, from cotton to lace. This structured, sleek and fitted silhouette will pair perfectly with a pair wide leg trousers for an elegant evening look this fall. However, it doesn’t need to be only for after dark, consider layering over a long sleeve slim fit top or a crisp white shirt and finish the look with an oversized blazer for a more approachable daytime outfit.
Platform boots
Platform boots are a great way to add an edge to your look, and they will definitely stand out from the crowd in the cooler weather. It is a choice of footwear that works fantastically well with wide leg trousers, cropped pants or flared jeans providing a strong balance to the overall silhouette of the outfit. Despite appearing as toweringly high they are comfortable making them one of this season’s wearable trends.
Over the knee boots
Another big trend this fall is over-the-knee boots. They make a great addition to any outfit as they are really flattering on the legs and are warm, especially worn with the trendy mini skirt and a chunky knit.
