The changing of leaves and chilly nights mean one thing: it’s time for a wardrobe switch-up. Jeans, boots, and coats are necessary staples for this upcoming fall season. Get caught up on the latest trends and Looks You Need for the Upcoming Autumn Season with these tips and tricks. Don’t walk into fall without knowing what you’re doing with your sartorial choices.

Looks You Need for the Upcoming Autumn Season

Two-Toned Denim Jeans

It’s all about eccentricity in fashion lately, even with your standard issue jeans. Light or dark denim is always a choice you’ll have to make but you can go way beyond just the color when deciding on your jeans. Explore new designs and get creative! From bell bottoms to cut-offs, there’s a way to incorporate a more funky design aspect.

If you go crazy on the bottoms, don’t forget to keep it neutral everywhere else. Remember: snakeskin and leopard don’t play well with other patterns. You can mess around with racing stripes down the side seam or completely go half and half, it’s all fair game for Fall 2018. Levi’s is a great place to find your classic blue jeans but you can also find more trendy, adventurous styles.

A Flowy Paisley Dress

Paisley is back ladies. This fun and intricate print fits right in with the adventurous trends of the season. But beware of frumpy or overpowering styles. Paisley can ride a fine line between being dainty and looking like it’s from “Little House on the Prairie”. Pair this flowy silhouette with some small booties or dainty slide-on sandals for an effortlessly elegant look.

The best part about a dress? You only have to put on one piece of clothing to look like you have it all together. Browse your dress paisley options on Free People so you can walk into autumn totally on trend.

An Epic Halloween Costume

Halloween costumes for women are easy to find online. Why not go all out? It’s one of the few times a year looking ridiculous is completely acceptable. Take advantage of it and have some fun. Want to have a scary, spooky night? Consider being Pennywise the clown, or a zombie bride back for revenge. Ever wanted to experience what it feels like to be covered in rainbows and glitter? Sounds like a unicorn costume is in your future. It’s fun to dress up as someone – or something – else for a night. You never know what the adventure will bring.

Plaid, Plaid, and more Plaid

Plaid doesn’t have much of a mass appeal, but it’s coming back! Don’t count it out yet, you just need the right piece to rock it on. Look for a cool color combination on a playsuit or a blazer. Layer it with simple colors and lines to pull it all together for a sophisticated, on-trend outfit. Be wary of giving off school girl vibes. Keep the plaid skirts to a minimum and leave the bright yellow plaid to Clueless.

Vintage Furs

Get ready to hit the thrift stores in search of the perfect deal on that vintage fur coat. It’s time to bring out your inner Cruella de Vil, the fluffy look is back. This trend will be a bit more useful in colder environments. However, if you happen to live in a warmer climates, you can still play around with thinner coats and vests. When choosing a fur, you should ditch the crazy patterns. This piece should be solid, oversized, and sophisticated. Get a deal on sites like eBay if you’re trying to find a vintage piece.

A Patterned Statement Coat

Funky patterns are in again and we couldn’t be happier. Wearing leopard on a daily basis is finally acceptable. Score! A patterned pea coat is an absolute must-have piece in your closet this season. From floral to plaid, to denim, feel free to explore your favorite patterns and fabrics! This is your chance to have fun with it. Finish off your outfit with a pair of heeled boots for a polished, complete look. If you’re looking for a coat that’ll be your go-to for fall and can take you through winter, ModCloth offers vintage-style designs that’ll serve as investment pieces.

Leisure Wear

Finally, we can wear sweatpants at the club without being ridiculed! Don’t be fooled though, you can’t just throw on that grey pair of sweats you’ve been keeping in the back of your drawer. This trend includes luxury fabrics like suede and velvet. Steer clear of bell bottoms here, look for cinched styles around the ankle. This way you can dress up the look with a pair of fun heels for a comfortable yet stylish outfit. If you want to try the leisure wear trend, look toward higher-end athletic brands that’ll cater to your needs like Adidas.

This autumn is a time for pushing the envelope with creativity. Whether you’re shopping at department stores or thrift stores, the fashion world is your oyster.
