It hurts me more than it hurts you to bring this up, but summer is nearing its end. Sure, there's still over a month left, and you may not have even departed for your warm-weather vacation yet, but it's no longer outrageous to discuss the next season ahead. Though it may be slightly sad to think about long weekends and sun-filled weekends coming to a close, autumn is kind of an amazing time of year, especially when it comes to your wardrobe.
In fact, I'm already thinking of the staples and trends I want to invest in. Some of them err on the more classic side, like suiting and leather boots, while others are a bit more adventurous, like patchwork and off-kilter shades of green. To illustrate my point (and help me narrow down what to buy for fall), I rounded up five fall trends I'm ruling out and five I'm 100% here for. Continue ahead to see if you agree, and, if so, start shopping.
