Fall is here, and this Gulf Coast Girl is thrilled! There’s something about the crisp autumn air that makes you feel at cozy and ease, which translates to our style. Although it doesn’t cool down on the Coast as much as other places, dressing for fall is still about those snuggly, comfy vibes.
I’m so excited to pull out all my fall pieces and mix and match them throughout the season. If you’re overhauling your fall wardrobe, or just looking to add a few key pieces, here are some trends worth trying.
CHERRY COLA RED
If you’re a fan of rich, deep tones, fall is your season. One thing I love about this bold palette is that you can’t go wrong with anything you decide to mix and match. Your browns and blacks, and even mustard and berry, are always popular this time of year, but Cherry Cola Red is taking this season by storm. This color has deep notes of brown and burgundy mixed together to make the perfect red tone that works on everyone.
I know some people avoid reds, but I think this trend will stick. You can find this color on everything from tights and slacks to sweaters and two pieces. It’s an ideal shade to pair with brown tones as well, offering the perfect pop of color. Check it out and see if it fits into your fall wardrobe.
WESTERN BUCKLE BOOTS
I see this becoming a fall staple. We all love a good boot and have seen our fair share of different styles. Right now, the style I’ve seen popping up everywhere is this Western buckle boot. Western cowgirl fashion has been on the rise this year, appearing on the likes of Beyonce and showcased by designers like Chloe. Expect this trend to take root and grow into something more.
More and more designers are wading into this style, including Jeffrey Campbell and Steve Madden, who are always on top of the trends. I’m sure this season, we will see more boots with a twist.
SWADDLING
Comfy, oversized scarves are a fall staple that are never going away, especially when it’s cool outside and you want something warm, but not too heavy. In fact, there’s a name for bundling up in a big, cozy scarf: “swaddling.” Make no mistake, it’s “swaddle season,” so don’t hesitate to layer your fall fit to perfection.
Ponchos are also coming back for swaddle season, and some pieces even have the extended scarf built in to make it easier to try this chic trend.
TRACK PANTS
I never would have guessed that track pants would be trending this year, but they are taking over with an elevated twist. I’ve seen them styled with oversized blazers, button downs, vests and more. This trend is a fun way to express your personal style, so add your favorite sneakers and accessories to make it your own. I would style a pair in an eye-catching color like burnt orange and wear with an oversize button down, or even a navy track pant with a fun vintage varsity basketball jacket, a printed sneaker and gold accessories.
