The moment the February fashion shows wrap, we start wondering: what will we be wearing this fall? Fall 2024 fashion trends are starting to emerge, and some that we thought would take off might take a season or two to fully bloom. Others are already making a statement on the runway. So, what are the hottest trends right now, and what should be on our fall shopping list? Vogue’s Top 10 Fall 2024 Fashion Trends
Vogue Shopping is excited about several trends that are running parallel this season. We’re seeing flowing, romantic separates that evoke a bohemian spirit, outdoorsy flannels and barn jackets with a city edge, and artfully draped blouses that any minimalist would adore. These pieces stand alone but effortlessly blend into any wardrobe. Remember, personal style is refined over time, not in a single season.
This season also emphasizes the concept of preciousness. What do we save for special occasions, and what do we wear now to keep it from losing its luster? We want clothes that feel perfect for the present while lasting. Most of these pieces, from practical chore coats to delicate embellished skirts and tops, are meant to be worn and cherished.
Embrace the duality within us all and let it serve as a reminder to embrace that sentiment in our lives and wardrobes as we charge into the new season. Below, discover the top five fall 2024 fashion trends to know and shop:
A Bohemian Mood
Bohemian elements are leading the charge for fall, but the focus is on luxurious classics with effortless movement. Think romantic blouses, A-line skirts, and waist-cinching silhouettes that offer a more mature vibe for fall. Chloé’s creative director, Chemena Kamali, described it best in her interview with Vogue Business and Vogue Runway’s global director Nicole Phelps as an “intuitive way of dressing” with an emphasis on “lightness, fluidity, and emotion.”
Several styles on the market reflect this carefree spirit, such as romantic tops and lace and silk dresses that play with transparency and rippling ruffles, may feel familiar, but designers have presented them in new and inviting ways. At Chloé, a gossamer, ruffled top looks decidedly modern when contrasted with leather separates (don’t miss the cape). A full skirt in two-tone leather or an unexpected suede shade (Bottega Veneta) feels like a revelation in texture.
Embrace accessories to enhance your personal style – consider belts (Loewe’s button-ups come pre-styled with a built-in one), gloves, and statement jewelry (à la Chanel) for finishing touches that define your unique perspective.
Modern Elegance
The ladylike energy that graced spring wardrobes makes its presence felt for fall, with cold-weather ensembles that bridge minimalism with a sense of feminine timelessness. Key buys here include a collarless blazer —short and fitted for fall; as a cocoon or scarf coat longer for winter—and pencil skirt (leather, wool; perhaps even exposed like at Prada).
Artfully draped dresses and blouses (Bottega Veneta, Liberowe) and sweaters with built-in scarves (Carven) bring polish and inspiration to the fall layering conundrum.
The Great Outdoors
Perhaps it was a collective yearning to bring slowness and nature back into our fast-paced urban lives, as utilitarian styles anchored many fall collections. Access to a cabin in the woods might not be in the cards for everyone, but practical, outdoorsy pieces can—and should—find a home in your fall essentials lineup.
Flannel shirts, barn jackets, and chore coats in tweed, plaid, and waxed cotton transition seamlessly from farmhouse to rustic café without feeling out of place – while maintaining a sense of luxury that doesn’t come at the cost of wearability. Find key styles at Chloé, Barbour, Miu Miu, and Altuzarra. A corduroy pant or Fair Isle knit allows you to tap into this mood as well.
Luxury Textures
Texture thrives during the fall, and no material—from velour to shaggy knit—is off-limits this fall. Look to Khaite and Proenza Schouler for luxe leathers; Prada and Massimo Dutti for sumptuous suedes, and Toteme and Loulou Studio for cuddly coats—distinct pieces that complete our mental picture of transitional dressing.
Everyday Preciousness
Why save your best pieces for special occasions? From Stella McCartney to Undercover, designers and brands are encouraging us to inject playfulness and whimsy into the everyday. The unwritten style memo? Have fun!
That can be achieved by wearing Cos’s embellished denim to the grocery store, pairing J.Crew’s sequin skirt with a white T-shirt and shrunken crewneck, or topping off a weekend look with a glitter-threaded sweatshirt. For holiday dressing, expect to see more fringe, feather, and sequin—on dresses, knits, and outerwear—that can be restyled well after the new year.
