As the warmth of summer slowly fades like a sunset, we find ourselves torn—yet excited—about the transition to fall. This season brings with it a refreshing reset for our wardrobes, thanks to the standout fashion trends of Fall 2024. If your closet feels a bit uninspired, get ready to be rejuvenated: Autumn’s runways are bursting with fresh ideas.
So, what should we be wearing this year? Boho is making a strong comeback, especially after Chloé’s impressive show where fringe, fur, and wedge heels took center stage. Preppy, heritage-inspired looks—closely related to boho—are also in the spotlight, with designers like Burberry, Schiaparelli, Miu Miu, and Bally showcasing plaid coats, lived-in denim, and sharp blazers. On the accessories front, tall, structured boots were a highlight at Prada, Chanel, and Gucci, even making an appearance on Zendaya. Minimalist ballet flats and classic T-bar shoes are also gaining traction for fall, with Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo leading the charge. And for color, butter yellow is your go-to hue this fall, as seen at Hermès, Sandy Liang, and more.
Straight from the catwalk, these are the Fall 2024 fashion trends that our style editors are eager to embrace this season. Our advice? Invest in these pieces now—before everyone else catches on.
1. Country House Chic
Fall’s most captivating trend, according to the Glamour style team, is all about embracing plaids, relaxed layers, and long skirts. Imagine dressing as if you’re heading to a cozy country house in the English countryside every autumn. This look features heritage-style staples like waxed jackets, checked coats, full skirts, knee-high wellies, and tailored blazers, perfect for those rainy fall days.
2. Boho 3.0
Boho is back, but with a 2024 twist. This refreshed version includes modern takes on crochet, fringe, and flowy fabrics. Chloé’s fall-winter runway set the tone, with Louis Vuitton, Isabel Marant, and Etro following suit. Think relaxed, worldly pieces in retro florals, rich suede, and faded denim—a style that Sienna Miller and Rachel Zoe would adore.
3. Glove Flats
While ballet flats are still popular, the glove flat—a simple, strapless design—is making waves. These minimalist shoes can subtly define an outfit. Whether you opt for mesh flats from Bottega Veneta, contrasting colors from Marni, or a tonal look from Bevza, you’ll achieve effortless chic in any setting.
4. Prep School
Preppy style is making a strong return, inspired by Miu Miu’s popular runways. Expect to see full skirts, button-down shirts, leather loafers, sharp blazers, and V-neck sweaters in classic academic colors like navy, khaki, burgundy, and gray. The formula is simple: a collared shirt, a jacket, and relaxed bottoms like jeans or a skirt—perfect for those nostalgic for school uniforms with a modern twist.
5. Butter Yellow
Butter yellow is the color of Fall 2024, a versatile neutral that pairs well with everything from black to denim blue. Designers like Gucci and JW Anderson have embraced this shade, offering both full tonal looks and individual pieces like creamy sweaters or bags. It’s a color that suits both bold and understated dressers alike.
6. Structured Boots
Tall, structured boots are the footwear of choice this fall, seen on the runways of Prada, Chanel, and Valentino. Whether you prefer Western-inspired designs like Zendaya’s Frye boots or polished knee-highs from Everlane, these boots are a smart investment for the season.
7. Ribbons and Bows
Bows are back for Fall 2024, but in a more refined form. Prada, Simone Rocha, and Sandy Liang have updated this trend with sparing use of long ribbon tails. Expect to see bows adorning dresses, skirts, and bags, offering a subtle yet charming accent.
8. T-Bar Shoes
Mary Janes have been evolving, and T-bar shoes are poised to be a major trend for fall. This retro, academic style was featured prominently at Miu Miu, Ferragamo, and Dries Van Noten. T-bar shoes work well on their own or paired with colored tights, making them a versatile addition to your fall wardrobe.
