There's something about the start of fall that immediately makes me want to dress more sophisticated. The back-to-work feeling and a brimming calendar of events has me yearning for fresh pieces that ooze elegance. There is one trend in particular, that caught my eye on the F/W 24 runways that will not only add the perfect touch of richness and refinement to my looks but also happens to be incredibly wearable—and affordable if you look in the right places. I'm talking about silky satin fabrics.
Fluid satin shimmered down the runways from Ferragamo to Victoria Beckham reminding us of all the opportunities to dress up that fall/winter often brings. From draped dresses to matching sets and elegant blouses, expect to see silk and satin dominate on the fashion set this fall. Opt for elegant shades such as burgundy, chocolate brown, olive, ivory, and black to instantly make your ensemble look more expensive. I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for an excuse to style my favorite fabric, and this season's take on satin dressing absolutely speaks to my soul, and it might just speak to yours too.
Keep scrolling for satin styling inspiration from the runways then shop all my favorite satin picks for the fall season. There's something for every budget.
