While summer tends to feel like it slipped away like a moment in time, fall stays in place and lingers, allowing us to enjoy pumpkin-spiced lattes, cozy layers, beginnings, and changing seasons. With fall just around the corner, the changing of seasons means one very exciting thing: new trends. For the best style trends about to hit your TikTok feed and your closet, check out these fall 2024 fashion trends that’ll get you hyped for the colder weather.
Fall is my favorite season of the year. It’s a time to replace breezy sheer moments with heavier fabrics and higher necklines, & swap flip-flops and chunky sandals for knee-high boots and sneakers. For fellow lovers of layers, just the thought of a good coat atop some super chic knitwear makes me – dare I say it – quite keen to welcome the lower temperatures
This season, I want to make my fall outfit Pinterest inspo boards a reality without spending too much money… So I scoured the internet for the best style deals that also are on trend with all the outfits I’ve been seeing all over TikTok, Instagram, & Pinterest. This post is part of the style edit, where I talk about the latest fashion trends and find trendy affordable clothing.
Ahead, browse 15 fall 2024 fashion trends for every personal style ethos, from bold red accents, and satin skirts, to cozy chunky sweaters & classy quiet luxury outfits from my favorite brands. Think classic shapes and quality clothing. Buy less, choose well, and make it last.
1. Breton Strips
Breton stripes never go out of fashion. A nautical trend to fall fashion is like butter to bread—the two are so much more delicious together and are inextricably linked. Any type of pants works with this sweater, making it a perfect addition to your capsule cold-weather wardrobe. Tailoring and chunky flat shoes lend a nerdy charm to any Breton sweater.

2. Jean Skirts
Jean skirts are inherently casual, so I like the idea of glamming them up with cute hats, sunnies, and a casual pair of sneakers.

3. Silk Skirts
A relaxed sweater paired with a slip skirt is easy and impossibly chic. Slip into heels or flats (really, any shoe style), and you’re set.
4. New Business
An oversized blazer is a cute twist on a business room classic. Layer the jacket-turned-dress over a tee and short shorts to stay cozy while still showing major leg. Some delicate jewelry and a chunky boot are the best additions to this polished piece.
5. Mini Skirts & Thick sweaters
Just because cooler weather is approaching, it doesn’t mean we’re confined to jeans, trousers, and leggings. Arguably the most classic fall combo, a chunky sweater tucked into a mini skirt has never failed me. This look is guaranteed to be a winner time and time again.
6. Red Hot
One of the most dominant colors of the season—fiery red—was spotted countless times on the fall 2024 runways, and it only picked up momentum from there. This isn’t the typical oxblood red we see in the fall, though: For fall 2024, the motto is the bolder, the better.
7. Back-to-School Chic
Even while staying Switzerland-neutral on the quality of Gossip Girl’s reboot, it’s safe to say there will never be an Upper East Sider with as much style as the original Blair Waldorf. Perhaps the most iconic of the sartorial categories Blair finds herself tackling is the private school uniform. Channel your inner Blair with a prep-school outfit by adding cute bows, mock uniform blazers, and ballet shoes to your look.
8. Puffer Jackets
A puffer jacket has become a staple statement piece for colder weather and honestly, the bigger the better. A cool look I’ve been seeing on TikTok is pairing a puffy jacket with a body-con dress. Add some black sunnies & some attitude for a look that slays.
9. Stuck in Neutral
I’m sure we all know what quiet luxury is by now. The hottest trend of the year is actually not really a trend at all but rather a fashion philosophy that favors modest high-quality clothing over designer brands. High-quality trousers, for example, have established themselves as a go-to closet staple for the ultra-rich, proving they work year-round—but especially in the fall. Pair them with a chunky collared sweater in a similar hue for a seamless monochrome look.
10. Try a timeless dress style
Dress to impress with this quiet luxury-themed look. A classic A-line dress with contrasting designer accessories that’ll make you look like a million bucks. Shop my favorite classic dresses below.

11. Boho Chic
If you want to embody your favorite whimsical country Tiktok influencers – try this look. Layer embroidered dresses with autumn-colored cardigans before heading to the local book store.
12. Bundled up in plaid
Plaid is synonymous with Parisian fall fashion. Plaid is a print you want in your closet, especially when fall comes around. Double points for something tailored, as it makes your outfit look classier and more expensive!
13. The ‘Dad Jacket’ trend
Gathering steam amongst other fall 2024 fashion trends, is the ‘dad jacket’ trend. For a look that’s casually chic try a thick brown leather jacket on top of a fall staple outfit – the classic white tee over blue jeans.
14. Knee-high boots
The thigh-high boot has been a success story for numerous fall seasons, but for autumn/winter 2024, they’re a bit tighter.
15. The Sweater Dress is Coming Back for Fall 2024
All of your thin and airy summer dresses must be packed up and stored away until next year — & now it’s time to get excited about the sweater dress, your favorite fall and winter staple. From the trusty relaxed, oversized fits to the wrap silhouettes and ribbed knits that skim your shape, there’s absolutely a sweater dress out there that suits your style.
