by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

‘Tis the season for fall shopping! The cooler months are nearly here (we can’t believe it ourselves), making it prime time to start prepping a wardrobe of stylish pieces. And the fall runways abounded with trends to consider: Red is the resounding shade from accessories to clothing; show-stopping silhouettes from asymmetrical lines to ’80s-influenced workwear make their mark; and handicraft details (fringe, patchwork) and glamorous finishes (feathers, sequins) do their part for a reimagined aesthetic. And there’s tons more where that came from. So whether you’re looking to totally revamp or just scoop up a few new pieces, we lay out the top trends to keep in mind. Consider this your official shopping list.
