I don't know about you, but now that September is in full swing and there's finally a cool chill in the air, I'm officially ready to shop for the new season. (Buying jackets in 90-degree weather two weeks ago was it bit too hard for me to stomach). This fall, I'm shopping strategically and with a more budget-conscious mindset because, well, the summer was an expensive one. I'm specifically looking to add some fresh, trend-forward styles to my wardrobe—pieces that feel very 2024.
I made a beeline to three of my favorite affordable and trend-forward stores (Zara, Mango, and H&M) and selected a handful of styles that come runway-approved and feel very of the moment. From easy-to-integrate burgundy pieces to sumptuous suede bags to trendy boho styles, I'm sharing six must-have trends that are worth adding to your fall wardrobe rotation—and for the most part, won't break the bank. Keep scrolling to get excited for the fall season!
50 Shades of Olive Green
From deep Taggiasca hues to bright Caseltvetrano colors, olive-green shades are taking the spotlight this season adding a fresh and cool touch to our fall wardrobes. Whether you go for a slip skirt or sweater, the rich color will have you looking altogether on-trend.
Boho Vibes
Boho fashion is back thanks to Chemena Kamali's viral collection for Chloé. Opt for a ruffled, chiffon, or lace blouse or dress in white or earthy hues to lean into the free-spirited aesthetic.
Sumptuous Suede
Rich and luxurious suede fabrics are practically made for fall season. Choose a shoulder bag, flats, or a jacket in tan and brown hues for a chic take on the trend.
Leopard Print
Leopard print is dominating this fall—especially at Zara, Mango, and H&M. Whether you add a touch of the bold print via shoes or a bag, or opt for a statement slip dress or coat, adding the cool print to your outfit will have you looking very fall 2024.
Pointed-Toe Pumps
It's all about sleek pointed-toe pumps and court shoes this season—a style that was seen all over the runways. Whether you opt for kitten-heel mules, flat slingbacks, or classic pumps, they're unquestionably one of the most wearable styles of the moment.
Barn Jackets
Celebs and fashion girls alike have been embracing heritage-inspired barn jackets (aka chore jackets) this season. The style is practical, versatile, and cool—and these three brands have some excellent options to take on the trend this fall.
All About Burgundy
Another color trend we can't go without mentioning is burgundy. It's everywhere at Zara, Mango, and H&M right now and oozes luxurious vibes. From handbags to sleek sweaters, it's one color you won't want to miss out on this season.
