I’m Making Bets: Insiders Will Invest In These 9 Fall Trends First

It’s arguably the best time for fashion right now. The fall collections we’ve been chatting about since the spring are now beginning to arrive online and in stores. We’re gearing up for another fashion month to begin in September, but before we shift our focus to what’s to come in 2025, we’re sitting down to discuss everything fall 2024.

The runways were replete with fresh ideas on autumnal dressing, from warm chestnut suede outerwear to new trouser silhouettes and some of the most elegant handbags we’ve seen in a while. All in all, the upcoming season is set to be one of incredibly chic and polished dressing and we’re already anticipating which items, runway looks, and overall trends celebrities and fashion people will gravitate towards first. Ahead, we’re outlining the nine fall investment trends that insiders will be buying and wearing before anything else this season.

As we inch closer to true fall weather, I’m eager to start integrating a few new outerwear picks into my outfit rotation, and having reviewed both the runways and recent fashion-person feeds, there’s one jacket style that feels a cut above the rest. Per Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Miu Miu, I’m keen on wearing a brown suede jacket, especially one with a boxy car coat silhouette.

The Carven runway featured one shoe style I haven’t gotten my mind off of, and that is a square-toe mule. With its dramatically squared-off toe shape and low, ultra-walkable heel, these are already the ultimate investment piece for fall. And better yet, it’s one to start wearing without delay.

As cool style in 2024 is increasingly defined by the elegant-dressing era, more and more accessories are emerging to satiate our collective need for beautiful, polished pieces. One such trend is the rise of vanity-case bags that lend such an aura of retro glamour with their structured, top-handle shape. Celebs like Sofia Richie Grainge and Gigi Hadid are fans of the Loro Piana L19 bag, and now, I’m convinced I need one too.

Full skirts have been trending all year long, and this season, the fashion set will prioritize them over any other skirt style. The voluminous midis we wore all summer in cotton and poplin aren’t going anywhere, they’re simply being upgraded to more cooler-weather appropriate fabrics like wool and other knits that will pair well with all manner of flats, boots, sneakers, and mules for the coming months.

Leather-band watches are as timeless as it gets, but there is a growing movement in womenswear that’s set on demystifying the world of timepieces. Now more than ever, the chicest dressers I know are talking about, shopping for, and wearing classic watches by the likes of Cartier and Hermès. But it’s not only heritage brands—accessible labels like Heaven Mayhem are releasing modern versions, so it’s never been a better time to be a shopper in the watch market.
