My favourite fall trends (listed clockwise from top-left).
Fall is my favourite season, mainly because of the vast galaxy of wardrobe options it brings with it each year. No longer are we limited by humid forecasts; we now have the opportunity to wear pants, jackets, capes, scarves, and my absolute favourite: ankle boots. Some days may be on the chillier side and warrant leather leggings, but others may be sunny and only slightly crisp, allowing for a deep-hued dress, sans tights. It's the best season to dress for in my book, and this year's trends offer both comfort and style - a few of my favourites below:
Subdued Prints
Cardamon Colour
Fall Jumpsuits
Leather Loafers with Tassels
Biella Crackled Leather Loafers from JCrew: I had been looking for a classic, comfortable loafer to wear this fall, when I stumbled upon these gems at JCrew. The brown crackled leather, detailed stitching, tassel and scalloped shoe tongue all create a pristine preppiness that I find irresistible during this back-to-school season.
Thigh-Length Vests
In Orbit Vest in black by Keepsake: I've always loved breaking out my vests in autumn, so I was thrilled to see lengthy vests emerge as a major trend this season. This one from Keepsake is the perfect addition to so many outfits, and I love the discreet detailing created by the folded lapels.
Ponchos
Wellsh Sweater by Wilfred Free (Aritzia): When done wrong, ponchos can be frightening, but this season, I've seen so many instances where ponchos have gone so right (cough Burberry's current poncho line cough), and I'm happy to report that my faith in the poncho has been restored. This one from Aritzia comes in three different shades, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them all.
Tartan
Woodland Plaid Midi Skirt in Fairytale Red by Kate Spade: My forever fall favourite is my Burberry cashmere scarf, with its signature tartan, but I love experimenting with other tartans as well, in the fall and winter. I'm so glad Kate Spade embraced the tartan trend this season, and added this bold Alexander-McQueen-esque midi skirt to her fall collection.
High Rise Ankle Boots
Adele Ankle Boots from JCrew: Ankle boots are such a wonderful thing, especially for vertically challenged ladies like myself, and this season, we're seeing higher-rise ankle boots that create a dramatic flare when worn with skirts and dresses. This pair from JCrew is particularly high-quality and versatile.
