Between the back-to-work jitters, the faint semblance of cooler morning air, and the noticeably earlier sunsets, it’s only a matter of a time before the breezy sundresses and denim shorts are replaced by cashmere sweaters and tailored trousers. Vogue editors are embracing the shift in season with a transitional wardrobe that mixes and matches summer staples with early fall essentials.
As for the pieces our staffers are most excited to introduce into their rotation? For some, fall fashion starts with color—working in warm browns and flashes of crimson red, or shaking typical neutrals up with pops of cobalt blue. For others, the season begins with texture—jacquard, leather, or beaded embellishments to add depth and dimension. Some are rethinking proportions altogether by way of lower waists and sculptural shapes.
From deeply luxurious fabrics to staple poplin shirts, discover what’s on Vogue editors’ fall wish lists, and the fall trends they are shopping right now. All Things Jacquard
“This season solidified my love for jacquard. This fall I plan on wearing it any and every way I can get my hands on it. Think a floral silk wrap top knotted over jacquard denim, or a woven vest layered under something slouchy and gray.
It’s the easiest way to make an antique-feeling
It’s the easiest way to make an antique-feeling fabric feel like you just threw it on, which is my favorite way of getting dressed.” —Naomi Elizée, fashion market director
New Color Codes
“Red and turquoise blue were two of the biggest color trends this fall season—and I plan on wearing them together. Think of the possibilities: As a double-layered tee, or a bright blue jacket layered over a red shirt.
It’s the perfect way to inject some color into my wardrobe—not to mention the perfect counterpart to autumn’s earthy tones.” —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer
Playful Proportions
“An interesting outfit to me is usually about tension: clothes that feel quite statement-y, paired with those that don’t try too hard. Maybe it’s a skirt that sits lower on the hips with a fitted tank, or a more sculptural top worn with loose, faded jeans.
Fall’s plays on proportion lend themselves well to this kind of contrast in everyday styling.”—Talia Abbas, shopping director
Ready, Set, Match
“I’ve been all about set dressing this summer, and want to bring it into the fall season. Not only do you look super put together but it also takes 10 minutes to get dressed in the morning. I also love Jorden Bickham’s styling by adding long necklaces plus multiple bags to give it a cooler touch.”—Irene Kim, editorial production manager
Buttoned Up
“The classic buttoned-up shirt consistently proves to be the most versatile item in your staple wardrobe.
Tucked into jeans, worn backwards, layered in multiple
Tucked into jeans, worn backwards, layered in multiple colors, or tied around the waist, use it as the grounding force in your daily ensembles. This season, I was particularly was drawn to Givenchy’s inventive styling technique–wearing the shirt backwards with a pop of the collar.”—Minty Mellon, commerce market editor
Pop of Pool Blue
“When it comes to this fall’s most powerful color combos, cherry and plum has been getting all of the attention, but I’m more interested in pool blue and navy as the subtle pop of color of the season.” —Alexandra Hildreth, fashion news writer
Luscious Leather
“A leather blazer is so wrong … it’s right?
Tacky in theory but designers are making versions that are chic in practice. I love the idea that it’s a time-tested piece, and you can just toss it on over a T-shirt, light sweater, or a polo… It’s a good transitional piece that can take you from days that are just slightly cool to days where we’re getting closer to capital-C cold.” —Max Berlinger, senior fashion news editor
Art Deco
“This winter, the scarf is my ultimate multitasker–tied over pants for a layered look, draped across a tailored jacket for a hint of color, or built into a scarf coat.
It will always be a practical accessory, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a bold statement.” —Andrea Zendejas, commerce market editor
Track Star
“The track jacket is my fall answer to fashion’s (and my personal) ongoing love affair with sport—styled with a touch of Saint Laurent and Celine polish for everyday, or taken full pro-athlete à la Balenciaga. And, Mrs.
Prada never ceases to amaze me with an ever growing portfolio of inspiration marrying nostalgia with modernity.”—Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, fashion editor
