Fall is my favorite season of the entire year – especially the FASHION! It’s the time of the year when I experiment the most with my clothing and love to dip my toes into the trends of the season. The color red is one of the biggest trends this year with a brighter cherry red being the color to wear. I personally LOVE wearing red and besides neutrals, it’s a color have a lot of in my closet so I am excited to style this trend. In addition to red as the season’s color, I rounded up 6 other trends I’m loving for fall and winter in today’s post.

7 Trends To Add To Your Fall Closet

Cardigan Jackets AKA The Lady Jacket

Black collarless tweed jacket | Fringe trim cardigan | Stripe trim novelty button cardigan | Sweater lady jacket | V-neck bow cardigan | Patch-pocket sweater cardigan | Patch-pocket sweater cardigan | Cable-knit cardigan sweater | Striped v-neck bow cardigan | Sweater lady jacket

The whole vibe of this trend is very Chanel-esque without the astronomical price tag. It’s a nice change from a blazer and I love all the gorgeous prints and details so many of the cardigans have this season. Perfect for the workplace but would also pair well with sneakers and jeans for the weekend.

Bomber Jackets

Mother Sidecar Jacket | Mango Denim Bomber Jacket | Helsa Faux Leather and Wool Bomber | Mango Double-Faced Bomber Jacket | Mango Cargo Pocket Bomber | Anine Bing Leon Bomber | Mango Leather Bomber Jacket | Mango Pocket Tweed Jacket | Steve Madden Florence Bomber Jacket

For me, I love the more polished and dressed up bomber jackets and they are a great option to throw on during this in between weather before it gets too cold. I’ve seen them styled with cargo pants, denim midi skirts and trousers so the outfit options are endless for this piece.

Ballet Flats

Jon Josef Quilted Ballerina Flats | Mango Velvet Ballerina Shoes | Larroude Blair Mary Jane Flats | Open Edit Regina Mary Jane Pointed Flat | Schutz Arissa Leather Ballet Flats | Tory Burch Cap Toe Ballet Flats | Mango Velvet Ballerinas | Mango Rhinestone Ballerina | Mango Jewel Button Ballerina | Gianvito Rossi Embellished Leather Ballet Flats

While ballet flats are always in style, we are seeing a much more defined “ballet” style shoe with the strap across the foot and a slightly square-ish toe. It reminiscent of actual ballet shoes or point shoes. Not everyone is excited about this style, but as someone that loves a comfy flat, I am thinking I may try this trend. I’ve seen them styled with more masculine pieces such as wide leg trousers or cargo pants and leather jackets and I love the idea of wearing something sort of soft (ballet flats) with a harder more edgier piece (leather jacket).

Wide Leg Jeans

I already shared my immense love and styling ideas for wide leg jeans in this post so I am definitely going to be wearing this trend in fall! From a slightly wider straight leg to very voluminous wide leg fit, there is something for everyone with this trend.

Cargo Jeans and Cargo Pants

Naked Wardrobe Camo Cargo Pants | Abercrombie Relaxed Cargo Pants | Agolde Cooper Cargo Jeans | Aqua Denim Cargo Pants | Grlfrnd Harper High Rise Cargo Pants | Agolde Cooper Cargo Jeans | Pistola Denim Faux Leather Cargo Pants | Wayf Cargo Pants

I wasn’t excited about this trend at first but I have since come around because there are so many gorgeous slim and chic styles with cargo pockets added. You don’t have to opt for some super oversized style to participate in this trend. I’ve even seen some gorgeous cargo trousers that would be suitable for the workplace.

Kitten Heels

Tony Bianco Shae Mule | Mango Pointed Toe Heel | Sam Edelman Blanka Sling Back | Anine Bing Zoe Mules | J.Crew Colette Mule Heels | Gucci Pointed Toe Sling Backs | Tony Bianco Shirley Mules | Mango Metallic Heel Shoes | Mango Net Sling Back Shoes | Sam Edelman Tarra Sling Back Heels

My closet is ready to go when it comes to the kitten heel trend. I have pairs that I’ve been wearing for nearly 10 years and find that they always look modern and timeless. There was a huge surge in massive platforms the past few years so I am excited to bring the height down a bit to something more walkable for me!

Which fall trend is your favorite?!

I have a been a fan of wide leg denim and pants for years and years. Though they are not always trending, I have found that the style can be timeless and look so polished and refined. Whether you choose a super voluminous pair of wide leg jeans or a slightly less wide leg fit, they are a style that can look good on all body types and can be worn a variety of ways. As someone that is only 5’4″ and has a very short inseam, I often gravitate towards cropped wide leg jeans so I don’t have to worry about hemming.

I personally love a wide leg denim because they can elongate the leg and can be so comfortable to wear. They may seem like an intimidating style of denim to wear so I am going to share a few outfit ideas with wide leg jeans and how versatile they can be.

How to Style Wide Leg Jeans

Styling Wide Leg Jeans with a Wrap Top

A deep-v wrap top or bodysuit looks great styled with wide leg jeans because the eye naturally follows the v-neck style down. And the lengthening effect that wide leg jeans can give, it can create a long and flattering silhouette. I personally like these dark blue denim Paige Anessa Cropped Jeans because they are a subtle wide leg that balances out nicely with the wrap/v-neck style of the bodysuit. In addition to a v-neck wrap top, a button down shirt would also give the same effect since the first few buttons are often undone creating that flattering v-neck look. To continue the lengthening effect of wide leg jeans, opt for a clear or nude shoe.

Styling Wide Leg Jeans with a Cropped Jacket or Cardigan

If you have a more business casual workplace, wide leg jeans like the ones I’ve shown above are a great polished option. They are similar to a denim trouser and look great worn with a short jacket, blazer or cardigan. If you want an alternative to jeans but still love the wide leg fit, these are my absolute favorite wide leg trousers!

Styling Wide Leg Jeans with a Cropped Tee

I love playing off the proportions of a pair of wide leg jeans and styling it with a cropped tee. The lengthening effect of the jeans looks great with something cropped and add a clear or neutral shoe to complete the look.

Styling a Classic Look with Wide Leg Jeans

Tee | Jeans | Boots

When I referred to wide leg jeans as a classic and timeless style, this is the kind of look that I was imagining. A simple long sleeved tee and chic boots will look great with the more bold look of a pair of wide leg jeans. A look like this is so easy to repeat over and over throughout the season by just changing up your outerwear and handbag. It can look completely different each time and provide a variety of looks with relatively few pieces.

Styling Wide Leg Jeans in the Winter

I love wearing wide leg jeans in the winter because they look great worn with a statement coat or something a bit more voluminous such as this faux fur coat in the above pic. Volume on the top balances out the volume on the bottom and creates a cohesive look. These are my favorite J.Crew wide leg trousers and sadly they have never brought this exact style back but they have a ton of great options currently.

Styling Wide Leg Jeans with a Statement Top

Sweater | Jeans (similar) | Boots | Bag | Sunglasses

Once again like the look prior to this, wide leg jeans look great with statement tops and sweaters. This sweater has a bold ruffled shoulder and looks balances and in proportion to the wide leg fit. That is why I always go back to wide leg jeans because they can look great with a slim/fitted top or they can effortlessly work with a more voluminous top.

Styling Distressed Wide Leg Jeans

As I do with most of my distressed jeans, I love to wear them with something more polished and refined to balance out the look. The same goes with my distressed wide leg jeans – styling them with a classic crewneck sweater and mules is a nice way to elevate the distressed detail. Add a statement belt and tote for an even more refined look.
