This summer has been filled with stylish fashion ensembles, and I'm not ready to move on just yet. The pieces I've gathered this season have become some of my all-time favorites, and it wouldn't feel right to abandon them after all we've been through. So I've secretly decided to recycle some of my most beloved summer trends this fall. (No one's going to notice, right?)
The key warm-weather styles I'm hooked on are sheer separates, utilitywear, and red accessories. Finding ways to repurpose these trends requires a little creativity and inspiration, but that's why I'm here. Keep scrolling to shop the six trends that I'll be wearing for the foreseeable future.
Strapless Tops
It's more than just a tube top. Elevated strapless tops that veer away from the standard cropped style have been everywhere this summer. Style them with literally any bottoms from jeans to trousers to maxi skirts, and throw on a cardigan, blazer, or leather jacket come fall.
The side slits add a nice detail to this everyday bandeau top.
Asymmetric hemlines and ruche detailing tap into the quiet-luxury trend in the best way.
I love the structured nature of this one, and how cool are those oversize buttons?
Needless to say, this is a timeless wardrobe staple.
Utilitywear
Utilitywear and workwear trends continue to be fashion-girl favorites. Look for cargo pants and dresses with patch-pocket details to tap into this trend. These pieces make for quite the comfortable, laid-back wardrobe, and they're super easy to throw on even when the weather cools down.
These relaxed-fit cargo pants have a subtle '90s vibe, and they're perfect for everyday wear.
Denim shorts are a wardrobe essential, and the pocket detailing on this pair is so cute. I'm wearing mine with a tank now and a cozy knit come fall.
The dress that can do it all: office days, coffee dates, weekend activities, and more.
Made from stretchy, lightweight, and breathable fabric, these utility pants are insanely comfy.
Red Accessories
Red is the number-one color trend of the year and has been spotted on countless runways during both spring and fall 2023 shows. The momentum won't be slowing down anytime soon, and I've found that the easiest way to incorporate this bold shade into my wardrobe is with accessories such as suede sneakers and leather handbags. Below are some stylish options to add a pop of red to any outfit no matter what color it is.
I've been eyeing this treasured Adidas style for awhile, and I'm finally ready to buy in.
This shoulder-bag silhouette is timeless.
A classic baseball cap for those everyday street style ensembles.
Handmade in Italy, these velvet flats will turn any outfit into a chic fashion statement.
Sheer Separates
Though it's intuitive to wear these pieces when the temperature is at an all-time high, I'm determined to find ways to go sheer this fall. Styling sheer tops with corduroy pants and leather boots or layering them over a turtleneck are just a couple ways to reimagine the trend.
The cute polka dots are what first caught my eye. And the diagonal ruffles elevate this top, giving it depth.
I could find endless ways to style this sheer skirt. I'm thinking date nights, dinner parties, and evenings on the town.
The collar and cuffed sleeves give this otherwise casual, see-through top a tailored look. It's the perfect layering piece.
The frill sleeves and waist tie add a flirty touch to this stunning floral dress. For those looking for a little more coverage, I'd recommend wearing a slip underneath.
Cat-Eye Sunnies
Cat-eye frames are a chic summertime staple, and I plan on wearing this popular sunglass style into the new season. There are endless designs and colors to play with, too.
This pair is sleek and lightweight. It's safe to say I'll be wearing these for the rest of the year.
A worthy investment that complements my many outfits.
The cobalt blue is so cool. Wear these with an all-black outfit for an unexpected pop of color.
This cute pair has that vintage aesthetic I'm always searching for.
Fringed Details
Fringe during the summer is often associated with festival, resort, or beach ensembles. But this same trend can take on a whole new identity in the fall. Staple pieces with fringed detailing create an eclectic, vintage flair that's authentic to the change in season.
A classic white T-shirt with a cute twist. The beaded embellishments along the hem are such a pretty detail.
This knitted midi dress is so stunning, and it's under $100.
This leather jacket is giving major horse-girl vibes. For a modern take on the Western aesthetic, pair it with sleek boots or chunky loafers.
This black knitted miniskirt is yet another example of how fringed hemlines can elevate an entire outfit. Pair it with an oversize sweater or long-sleeved tee.
