Of All the Fall Trends, These Are the 7 I'm Actually Buying

As we prepare to enter October, the most fall month of them all, I've been thinking about the season's trends and which ones I'll be welcoming into my wardrobe. As per usual, there are many trends to choose between, and instead of shopping before thinking things through, I like to wait before deciding which ones have legs and won't disappear by the next time the leaves change.
As I did over the summer, I selected seven wearable, somewhat timeless fall trends that I think my wardrobe will greatly benefit from this fall. From boots to outerwear to color trends, these have already started making their way into my closet, and I'll continue to shop for them as the weather cools. In case you're searching for some fall shopping guidance amid the very saturated marketplace, scroll on to shop the timeless, wearable trends yours truly is stocking up on.
Burgundy
You've heard it before, and you'll continue to hear it: Burgundy is *the* color trend of fall 2024. It's pretty and expensive looking and complements lots of other colors, so I don't think it's a trend that's going anywhere anytime soon.

Brown Suede Bags
It may seem random, but brown suede bags are suddenly everywhere. The rich-looking trend adds a touch of elegance to any outfit it's paired with, and that's something that never goes out of style.

Barn Jackets
I like anything that cool British women wear, so barn jackets are right up my alley. It's the casual jacket trend I'll be reaching for time and again this fall.

Leopard-Print Accessories
I wasn't initially on board with the return of leopard print, but my mind has been changed. Especially when worn in small doses, like in the form of an accessory, I think it can look quite classy and cool.

Boho Dresses and Tops
The return of the boho aesthetic is something I was initially surprised by, but I've accepted it into my world and have been shopping for tops and dresses to sprinkle into my wardrobe.

Dark Denim
I adore the dark-denim trend. I get tired of wearing black jeans all the time but often want to wear something dressier than light-wash denim.

Moto Boots
While I think that some moto boots have a bit too much going on, I really like the edge that a subtle pair adds to an outfit. For what it's worth, the Loewe boots below are my current dream boots.
