From animal print to monochromatic styles, this year’s fall 2024 fashion trends are giving us a variety of ways to add new ideas and unique styles into our wardrobes. Whether the occasion is a fancy dinner or just an apple picking date, these styles will have one in vogue with all of the best trends.
Accessorizing has become a very big trend recently in fashion. From jewelry stacking to chunky belts and tiny handbags, there are so many options when it comes to making outfits perfect. Sophomore Safia Atayee said, “As someone who is super into fashion, I’ve found that I can take any boring outfit and elevate it with just a dainty necklace or cute bag.” With just a few accessories, one can easily turn a simple outfit into a staple.
According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, “The east-to-west bag is having a resurgence this season, thanks to designers everywhere, from Proenza to Gucci” (cosmopolitan.com). The tote bag known for its boxy, long shape has been a staple of multiple fashion decades and has found its way back into our hearts this season.
Though oversized duffels and big chunky bags make for the perfect luggage, they are also super cute to use as an everyday bag. According to Vogue Magazine, “The oversized hobo bag is appealing whether you find yourself in the bohemian camp or not” (vogue.com). These larger-than-life bags were made for the people that like to carry everything with them. Chloe, Ferragamo, Loewe, Khaite, and Bottega Veneta offer the perfect XXL bags; however, some perfectly affordable dupes include Anthropologie’s Brigitte Satchel, Peppermayo’s Jamelia Shoulder Bag and a ton of options on Amazon. It is all about finding the best one in different colors or with cool details (cosmopolitan.com).
It is no surprise that animal print is a must have for the fall season; at this point, animal print and fall fashion fundamentally go hand in hand. According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, “The king of the animal styles has, and always will be, leopard print. This season is no exception” (cosmopolitan.com). Leopard print has been very popular for a while now and has become a “neutral piece,” something you can wear with almost anything.
Atayee said, “I think that animal print is such a big trend right now, and I notice that in every store I go into they have multiple animal or leopard print pieces. I myself have even been scouring online websites and stores to find the perfect leopard print staple.” Though finding the perfect animal or leopard print piece can be difficult, stores like Zara, Urban Outfitters, and Edikted can certainly make the search easier.
One of the most exciting things about fall fashion is the different colors that can be added to any boring outfit; with the color brown, one can easily incorporate depth into otherwise basic attire. According to Vogue Magazine, “A monochromatic palette allows you to play with different shapes and textures” (vogue.com). From suede, to denim, to cashmere, there are an abundance of timeless textures to add to your wardrobe this season.
Though San Diego’s hot-summer Mediterranean-like climate often does not allow for heavy coats or jackets, one can easily replace those staples with a classic cashmere crewneck or a comfy knit sweater. According to Vogue Magazine, “Wear them with skirts, jeans, trousers — whatever! It’s an unbeatable combo in my eyes, because it can be dressed up or down, but always looks put-together” (vogue.com).
This 2024 fall season is the perfect time to freshen up one’s wardrobe and experiment with different colors, silhouettes and accessories. Though picking the perfect fall outfit can feel overwhelming, especially with all of the new trends, taking it one step at a time and evaluating what pieces are best for you can make the process easier and before you know it you will have the perfect fall wardrobe.
