Everything You Need To Know About 2024 Fall Fashion Trends
What is it about fall that makes us want to clear out our closets and debut a whole new style? Maybe it’s the changing leaves. Maybe it’s the back to school feeling in the air. Or maybe it’s all the amazing fall fashion trends that pop up year after year without fail.
Whatever the case, there’s no denying that autumn is the perfect reset button for your wardrobe. So to help you take advantage of this season of change, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the 2024 fall fashion trends — from the styles you’re about to see everywhere, to the best outfit ideas to bring them to life. Scroll on for our complete fall fashion guide!
What colors are on trend in Fall 2024?
Dirty martini lovers, rejoice, because fall 2024 is all about one drool-worthy color: olive green. While neon green hues have dominated over the past few months (brat summer, anyone?), autumn is ushering in a more subtle and sophisticated take on the trend. Prepare to see this earthy color everywhere this season, from sweaters to bags to even boots. Best paired with an extra dirty martini!
In a similar style, the bright red fashion trend from last fall is also getting a dark and moody makeover for 2024. Instead of cherry hues, we’re seeing a flush of wine red and deep burgundy shades trending this autumn. It’s the perfect way to add a sexy touch to your fall outfit ideas.
On the other end of the spectrum, the butter yellow fashion trend is also staying put for fall 2024, and we are here for it. Light and airy, it’s like a breath of fresh air paired with the more muted colors of fall fashion. Style it as a neutral for a fall outfit that’s soft, unexpected, and super on-trend.
How are the fall 2024 fashion trends different from years past?
While fall fashion typically conjures up images of cozy sweaters, comfy leggings, and classic jean jackets, in autumn 2024 we’re seeing more elevated and timeless pieces enter the villa.
Maybe it’s the quiet luxury trend that’s still going strong in 2024. Maybe it’s the pushback against microtrends and fast fashion. Or maybe it’s a desire for timeless pieces that will never truly go out of style. Either way, this year’s fall fashion trends take those classic autumn outfit ideas and give them a major upgrade. Think: tailored suiting, classic denim, and nostalgic fall styles (hello, plaid!).
Many of your favorite aesthetics are also still trending for fall 2024, from western styles to “office siren” outfit ideas. But instead of loud and trendy pieces, these aesthetics are taking on a chic and effortless look that’s here to stay. We love to see it!
What fabrics and materials are on trend in Fall 2024 outfits?
There are some fabrics that will always be on-trend for fall fashion — chunky knits, sleek leather, and classic denim, to name a few — but this year we’re also incorporating some new materials into our 2024 autumn wardrobes.
The first one on our shopping list? Suede. This material is a softer take on classic leather styles, while still being just as easy to style. From western suede jackets to a soft suede bag, it’s going to be your new favorite fall staple!
The Essential Elements of Any Fall Outfit and Wardrobe
As much as we love trying out new fashion trends every fall, we can’t forget those essential staples that make up the rest of your outfit. Here are our must-haves to pair with your new fave trend — or to rock all on their own!
- A great pair of jeans: Fashion trends aside, a go-to pair of jeans is a staple for your everyday fall outfits. Choose a silhouette that makes you feel your best (we’re currently loving slouchy styles for fall!) and that goes with everything from comfy sweaters to kitten heels.
- Turtleneck tops: Look sleek and stay toasty with a chic turtleneck! These babies go with everything, from the aforementioned jeans to trendy pleated skirts. You can even layer them under dresses and sweaters for an elevated look. Go ahead and get one in every color!
- Leather (or faux leather) boots: A great pair of leather (or faux leather) boots is an instant fall outfit maker. They’ll take any of the fall fashion trends on this list to the next level, while also making a statement all on their own. For fall 2024, swap a classic shiny pair for these trendy suede knee-highs instead!
- Knit sweaters: It wouldn’t be fall without a cozy knit sweater to curl up in as you cuddle next to the fire, sip your PSL, and frolic through a pumpkin patch or two. This year, we’re also adding a knit button-down cardigan to our extensive autumn sweater collection.
- A classic trench coat: While we have many jackets on rotation for fall (including our must-have denim and leather ones), there’s something about a trench coat that just screams fall fashion. It’s not too light, not too heavy, perfect for that in-between autumn weather. We’ll be adding this trendy denim one on top of alllllll our fall outfits this year!
2024 Fall Fashion Accessory Trends to Complete Your Outfit
As any fall fashion lover knows, no autumn outfit is complete without the perfect accessories to tie everything together. Before we get into the top fashion trends for fall 2024, we wanted to break down the shoes and accessories we’ll be styling them with. These are the supporting actors (and sometimes main characters) that deserve their moment in the spotlight come autumn. Let’s get into it!
What jewelry and accessories are trending in fall 2024?
In fall 2024, jewelry and accessory trends are getting a big and bold makeover. Good-bye minimalist bling, hello chunky earrings and pendant necklaces! The perfect way to elevate your fall outfit ideas, these statement accessories speak for themselves.
Another bold and eye-catching accessory we’re stocking up on this fall? Oversized belts! After years of taking the backseat, belts are officially getting their comeback for fall 2024 — and the motto for the trend is go big or go home.
And last but not least: bags. We plan on pairing our fall outfits with must-have 2024 bag trends like suede styles, bucket bag designs, and slouchy totes. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to invest in new shoulder candy, consider this it!
Looking for the perfect mani to pair with your new fall accessories? Don’t miss these autumn-inspired nail ideas!
The Need-to-Know Fall Fashion Shoe Trends in 2024
The top shoe trends for fall always revolve around boots, and 2024 is no exception! This year, the style of the season has to be chunky riding boots. Perfect for embracing your inner horse girl, this style is a luxe and classic upgrade to the western boots we’ve been wearing for years now.
But don’t put away those western boots just yet — this style is still trending for fall, with modern leather styles and chic suede pairs taking center stage. And as always, it wouldn’t be fall without some ’90s-inspired knee-high boots, as well as skinny ankle styles to pair with your everyday outfit ideas.
Boots aside, one of the other top shoe trends for fall 2024 is cute flats in new and modern styles. Update your ballet flats from last season with this autumn’s latest styles, from minimalist mesh designs to chic on-trend colors (and prints).

3. The Best 2024 Fall Fashion Trend for a Pop of Color: Wine Red Outfits
Last fall, we fell in love with bright pops of cherry red hues for autumn. This fall, our red obsession is growing to include the shade’s dark, sultry, and autumn-inspired older sister. Alexa, play “Maroon” by Taylor Swift!
If you’re not ready for a full monochrome burgundy look, test out the waters by adding a pop of this wine red hue to your fall outfit ideas. We love the look of a single red statement piece, like a pair of knee-high boots, a leather jacket, or opaque maroon tights. And when in doubt, a swipe of dark red lipstick goes a long way!

Businesscore — also known as the “office siren” aesthetic — takes the limits of an office dress code and turns it into fashion. Think: cinched-waist blazers, statement trousers, chic tailored vests, and leg-baring hemlines.
While it’s not always office-appropriate, this fall trend is a chic and classy upgrade to the WFH lounge sets we’ve been donning for years. So break out your best suit and show everyone you’re the boss this season, no office commute necessary!

Instead, these boots have a western-chic, ’70s-inspired look that’s just so cool.

With its chilly temps and cozy vibe, fall typically calls for long sleeves, maxi hemlines, and plenty of layers. But what about the days you want to look hot, even when it’s cold outside? While you may not be able to change the weather, you can change how you dress for it. And that’s where this sheer fall fashion trend comes in!
