The Ultimate Fall 2022 Fashion Trends Guide
If there is a season that is known for its fashion, it's more than likely autumn. Fall jackets like the beloved denim jacket and barn coat are back for the season, and so are cute cardigans, blanket scarves, and leather boots.
Overall, fall fashion is pretty timeless, but things do change from time to time. If you're planning your wardrobe for this fall, here's what to know about the biggest fashion trends of fall 2022.
Maxi Skirts
Warm days are behind us for the year, which means you can say goodbye to shorter hems. Luckily, according to an article by Lauren Tappan in Town and Country, you can switch those shorter hems for maxi skirts, which are a big fall 2022 trend, the article notes. For fall, go for maxi skirts in moody colors like black, burgundy or burnt orange (as opposed to the bright maxi skirts of summer) and wear them with short leather boots or a pair of chunky slip-on shoes.
You can tuck a crewneck women's sweater into your maxi skirt to ensure you keep warm during the blustery, crisp days of fall.
Cozy Knitwear
The Town and Country article also notes that cozy knitwear will have a big spot in closets this fall. Particularly, textured knits in fabrics like angora and mohair are expected to be all over the place this fall.
The article notes that these sweaters are fuzzy and fluffy. So, they'll instantly up the cozy factor for any outfit. It's best to wear these kinds of sweaters with structured women's jeans, a pair of leather leggings or underneath a leather jacket. You'll want to balance out their fluffy nature with some structured alternatives.
Equestrian Style
According to an article by Sara Holzman for Marie Clarie, "the fall runways took equestrianism to the masses this season." This means leather riding boots, herringbone clothing and elbow patch blazers are expected to be popular items this fall. Luckily, they're easy to wear and lean into a classically preppy style.
You can infuse your wardrobe with equestrian-inspired style by wearing leather riding boots with one of your flannel shirts and a pair of jeans. Or, you can get a pair of herringbone pants to wear with a white button-down top and a pair of leather flats. At first thought, the equestrian style may seem intimidating, but it really has all of the roots of the classic prep look.
Shimmery Clothing and Accessories
According to Town and Country, you can also expect to see lots of sequins and shimmer throughout the fall months. And while this is an intimidating trend (you can't exactly wear a sequined top to work!), it can be attainable when treated the right way. You can get yourself a sequined purse to bring with you on a girl's night out or wear a black sequined dress to any fall weddings on the horizon.
You can also lean into this trend by incorporating more sparkles into your daily accessories—get a pair of extra-sparkly earrings or necklaces that glimmers in the autumn sun.
Caramel Colors
The Marie Claire article also states that clothing in caramel colors is a big trend for fall 2022, too. You can add this look to your wardrobe by simply getting a caramel-colored sweater, caramel-colored chinos or a caramel-colored women's coat .
Caramel is a neutral shade that will look good with many other colors, but fall colors like burgundy, black and navy may look particularly nice with this color scheme. So, you could wear that new caramel-colored sweater with a pair of women's black jeans or a pair of black jeggings if you want something a little more comfortable.
Hot Pink
Hot pink is another color that was all over fall runaways, according to the Marie Claire article. While it may not be as easy to wear as caramel, there are still simple ways you can infuse your wardrobe with the color without looking like a highlighter. For a work-friendly look, you could get a hot pink tweed blazer (tweed helps balance out the hue) to wear with your favorite black dresses. For a look that's ideal for date night, you could purchase a bright pink cardigan to wear over a tank top and with a pair of jeans. Or, if you're looking for something casual, you can also get yourself some hot pink workout gear to wear on your next neighborhood walk.
Your fall wardrobe staples (sweaters, jeans, boots, and light jackets) can stay the same this fall, but why not add some of 2022's biggest trends to your look too? You can pick and choose what you like best and rock those trends through until 2023.
