5 Fall Fashion Trends You Won't Want to Miss

1. Western Wear

This autumn, Americana is in. Fringe, paisley prints, bolo ties, suede, statement belts, patchwork and crochet, long floral prairie dresses, full denim outfits. Expect to see it all in fall 2018. So go ahead, grab those fabulous cowboy boots off the shelf and join the fun!

2. The 80s Revisited

Did you miss out on the era of assertive shoulders, ultra-shine leather, clashing prints, acid-washed denim, and tons of color blocking? This is your second chance. And while any electric neon or bright neon will fulfill this fashion trend, magenta and hot pinks are especially in right now. So, whether you pick out the perfect accent pieces to give your outfit a boost or go all out in the true spirit of the decade, be sure to indulge yourself in some glorious 80s glam this fall.

3. High Shine, High Fashion

Recently, the runways have been filled with sleek futuristic shine, including foil-like fabrics, transparent plastic, and iridescent attire. Some designers have even taken it to the next level, adding in an auditory experience, with embellishments that clink as well as twinkle when you move. From accessories to entire outfits, be prepared to find lots of sparkle in your favorite stores.

4. Oversized Outerwear

As the weather turns cold, cozy up in a coat that’s comfy AND eye-catching. This trend is about living large and taking up space. You deserve it. For your new garment, think big with size, texture, and color. For extra warmth and style, try layering this look by topping a long jacket cinched at the waist with a bulky yet comfy shag or faux fur coat.

5. Animal Prints Galore

This season, animal prints have found their way onto jackets, dresses, shirts, and more. They’re everywhere, and it’s time to be a little more adventurous than those leopard-print shoes stashed in your closet. Experiment with loud, bright, and even neon animal prints. Try zebra, giraffe, tiger, or snakeskin. Don’t be shy—go wild with this fashion trend!
