Stay On Trend with These Must-Have Fall Fashion Trends for 2022

Fashion is all about thinking forward. Per fashion’s rules, we’re looking at our upcoming season’s trends before they even hit the racks.

We know you’ll fall in love with these smart, flattering, and versatile trends that sing "contemporary" perfectly. Count on your notifications blowing up your phone after posting your chic new look this upcoming fall!

Suits

Tuxedos, blazers, and masterly crafted suits are the apex of all that is chic and modish.

This trend is one of the biggest to hit this decade’s runways, transforming your father’s drab office attire into fashionable wardrobe staples.

Not only are we seeing these traditional ensembles as their intended two-piece sets, but also as inspired singular pieces, such as dresses and tops, that exude creative fashion freedom.

That power suit in your closet is your best friend on all occasions.

Bows

The baggy, tom-boy sentiments of the past seasons are bidding adieu to make space for this ultra-feminine, sweet trend.

 We’re talking bows interweaved within every part of your favorite outfits; on waistlines, sleeves, necklines, and all over your accessories.

 Couture designers are bringing ballet-core lovers their dreams via fabric and thread, and we’re not complaining.

 With the correct placement, bows can add the perfect amount of feminine flair and modern romanticism.

Big Prints

This Autumn/Winter is all about loud, spirited, maximalist prints.

The heavy 70s and 80s influence on designers spearheaded this patterned revolution, introducing new must-have pieces in your wardrobe.

Accessorize these bold prints with stackable jewelry to complement the maximalist movement that this trend is riding.

This fall, leave the casual at home, and be sure to step out with these uplifting prints.

Sequins

Sequins are everything right now, even more so as we approach the upcoming holiday season.

Even men’s fall/winter 2022 fashion has fallen under the sequin spell, creating a unique trend that captivates everyone’s attention.

Silver and colored sequins are coming out of the runways and lookbooks, so be on the watchtower for these inspired designs!

Fur

Y2K is coming back and better than ever. We’re so into the luxury and class the fur is associated with.

This trend is not only incredibly stylish but will keep you warm on those mitten-demanding days.

Fur is finding itself on all your favorite pieces, as the main character, and in intricate detailing on your cuffs or collars. Snatching up a coat snitched of this opulent fabric is an absolute must!

Leather

Willow trees of patent leather jackets and rivers of pleated leather skirts; this is the fashion heaven Fall/Winter 2022 has dreamed up for us.

Leather is the key to looking tastefully expensive this season, especially in your streetwear looks.

Our favorite and most popular interpretation of leather is the leather trench coat. A stellar piece like this is a staple statement in your wardrobe, one that will always be there to have your back.

Beige

We’ve recently been on a beautiful, fashionable train tour of neutrals, and we’re not ready to get off! We’re exploring the wonders of design and simplicity with the classic hue we know as beige.

Killer skirts, must-need coats, flowy blouses, and structured dresses are bringing this color to a new level of being seen by being so on the scene!

This shade is a key to maximizing those minimalist basics.

Animal prints

Zebra and tiger patterns influenced this Spring/Summer immensely. We’re not surprised that this fantastically wild print has flowed into our 2022 cool-weather must-have trend list.

Leopard is still alive and well, so don’t throw out that blouse just yet. It’s not as prominent in the shows or trend forecasts, but we still have some classic leopard print on luxury shelves.

Pro tip: pair colorful, basic accessories to make your animal prints stand out!

Maxi hemlines

We want your hemlines to hit the floor. Delicious fabrics and elongating shapes are working hard to ensure this season is not only fabulous but a great way to hide those toasty long johns for those brutal winter months!

Long, slimming silhouettes are not only on-trend but extremely flattering to many body types.

Next time you’re in the mall, channel your inner royal and add that running through-an-abandoned-castle look you’ve needed for so long. It’s in style; you have a valid excuse now!

Slouchy boots

Remember when the circulation-cutting thigh-high boot was all the rage? The ones you tried at least half an hour to get over your leggings? Don’t worry, that shoe is staying in the past.

Introducing its sister, the high slouchy boot, entering the scene with some real sass this autumn.

Attention to shoes is taking a new position in the fashion world, and we love that these Fall/Winter 2022 shows are giving us what we want. We’re even happier that the shoe is a comfortable statement to give everyone around you “heart eyes.”

Stripes

Stripes have been rebranded and reintroduced to the world as a classically current pattern, and we are here for it.

Playing with stripes and lines, especially vertical ones, gives designers this fantastic ability to sculpt completely new silhouettes using the tool of illusion.

Try stripes out on a maxi dress or blazer; trust us, you’ll thank us later. Tilt your phone up and get a full-fit look when snapping pics of yourself in this model pattern. Everyone’s going to be asking about your gym routine.

Ruffles

Ruffles are another rollover trend from the Summer/Spring 2022 shows that captivated many designers.

Whimsical and romantic, this modern-renaissance trend has enveloped collars, sleeves, and necklines to live up to those fairytales dress fantasies.

Rejuvenated femininity has launched a new era of livelihood through cascading fabrics in the softest, most exquisite way. Someone, please catch us; we are falling in love.

BONUS

Let’s talk about The Coat

Long gone are the days when a coat was just meant to throw over your cute outfit as a means of warmth. Your coat is an essential part of your Fall/Winter looks.

We don’t care about the layers upon layers under your tiger print knit sweater or the multiple wool leggings stuffed into your slouchy boot because we don’t see them.

We do see your coat. Think luxurious white fur collar coats or a glamorously thick leather coat‌ outfit you’ve had in your head for days.

Invest in quality outwear that is a statement and compliments your outfit. You deserve to look fantastic and feel fantastic in every way with every piece!
