1: Leather Trench
A classic and chic twist on your traditional brown trench, the leather trench does not disappoint. takes all the timeless sophistication of the classic trench coat and gives it a rock ‘n’ roll edge. It’s like your favorite leather jacket grew up, went to fashion school, and came back ready to make a statement. The structured silhouette adds polish to any look, while the leather texture brings a level of coolness that other coats just can’t match.
It’s versatile, weather-friendly (goodbye, chilly wind!), and—let’s face it—looks downright fierce. Whether you’re dressing it up or down, the leather trench is the piece that ties your entire fall outfit together. My favorite color I’ve been seeing this season is a matted deep cherry red or hunter green styled with a contrast color turtleneck underneath.

3: Kitten Heels
Get ready, fashionistas, because fall’s most surprising (and surprisingly wearable) trend has arrived: Kitten Heels! Yes, those little low-heeled shoes that your mom probably rocked in the ‘90s are officially back—and they’re here to prove that comfort and style really can coexist.
At 1 to 2 inches high, kitten heels are the definition of walkable. They give you just the right amount of lift without sacrificing comfort, making them the ideal shoe for long city strolls, busy workdays, or impromptu dance parties. But beyond practicality, kitten heels bring a chic, retro vibe that’s the ultimate mix of elegance and playfulness.
Plus, they’re super versatile! Whether you’re going for polished and sophisticated or casual and quirky, kitten heels have got you covered. From pointed-toe styles to playful designs with bows and embellishments, there’s a pair for every occasion this season. My favorite take on this trend has surprisingly been a powdered blue (which isn’t always what you think of when you imagine a fall color palette)!

4: Pops of Red
You might think of red as a holiday or summer color, but it’s time to change your tune. This fall, designers are embracing the boldness of red in ways that range from subtle accents to head-to-toe statements. The key is in the contrast—red against cozy browns, deep greens, and warm tans instantly adds that wow factor. It’s fiery yet sophisticated, a perfect match for those crisp autumn days.
