Printed Pants

Trousers or denim, you’ll want to bring some attention to oft-overlooked bottoms with a fun print or pattern. Indie brands like Paloma Wool have led the trend, but it’s also appeared on the runways of brands including Altuzarra and Tory Burch.Edward Berthelot/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Sweater Vests

This cozy trend first appeared last year, but it’s only getting bigger for fall 2021. Try layering yours with a tee for now, then swap in a long sleeve top underneath in the months ahead.Christian Vierig/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Lavender

Purple was plastered across runways in every city presented in iterations that were sporty (at Lacoste), elegant (at Roksanda), and modern (at Ferragamo). Invest in one colorful piece and you’ll be able to wear it through the season.Edward Berthelot/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Bra Under Blazer

A simple styling trick to try as you navigate at-home and office life is layering a bra under a structured suit. While it may not fly in a formal work setting, it’s a playful look for a night out.Gucci/James D. Kelly

Nod To ‘90s

Nostalgia is in full force this fall, especially designs reminiscent of the ‘90s and early aughts (look to the return of Blumarine is proof!). For an easy entrance into the era, start with relaxed mid-rise denim. You can add in a cropped sweater or tank, or try a button-down for a more polished look.

Lifted Loafers

Fall is loafer season, but for the months ahead, keep an eye out for styles with a bit of lift. While super chunky lug soles had their time in years past, for 2021 it’s a more refined take. Christian Vierig/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
