There’s something magical about the first chilly morning of fall. After enduring the heat and humidity of summer, we finally get to swap our sandals for cozy loafers and boots. The idea of layering and experimenting with textures is enough to put a smile on our faces. With fall 2024 on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to start paying attention to the upcoming fashion trends.

Being aware of these trends early on is incredibly useful. You can take the opportunity to sift through your closet and plan your outfits. For those who follow my style regularly, you know that I enjoy blending timeless pieces with modern elements. I’m not someone who chases after every trend, but I love incorporating a few that complement my lifestyle. Hopefully, this guide will inspire you to do the same.

Fall 2024 Fashion Trends You Can’t Miss

While fashion trends may come and go, there’s something exciting about the ones that resurface after a long break. This fall, expect to see several nostalgic styles making a comeback. I’m personally thrilled about some of these returning trends.

Though the trends I’m highlighting are generally flattering for various body types, I want to emphasize that I’m particularly focused on what works for petite women. That’s where I feel most comfortable, and I hope this list helps you find the perfect styles for the season ahead.

Key Tips Before Diving Into Fall 2024 Trends

When trying out trends, it’s important to remember a few things:

• Stick to one fall trend at a time to let it truly shine.
• Not every trend suits everyone. Dress according to your body shape and preferences.
• Blend trends with your personal style for a look that feels both fashionable and authentic.

Fall 2024 Trends I’m Excited to Try

Leopard Print
Animal prints, particularly leopard, will dominate the fashion scene this fall and winter. I’m especially fond of the classic brown and black leopard print, but if that’s not your style, don’t worry. You’ll find this print on accessories like skirts, shoes, and handbags, which can add an effortless flair to any outfit.

Brown Coats
After seeing hints of chocolate brown during the summer, fall 2024 will bring this rich color into full force. From brown faux fur coats to sleek brown leather jackets, this earthy tone will be everywhere. Whether paired with denim or black, brown outerwear is a timeless addition to any wardrobe. And don’t forget the brown boots and shoes — they’re bound to be a big hit this season.

Shades of Green
This fall, we’ll be surrounded by shades of green, from sage and olive to deep army tones. These greens make for perfect accessories like handbags and shoes. They pair effortlessly with other fall colors and are a subtle way to incorporate a bold color into your wardrobe.

The 60’s Influence
Often referred to as the “ladies who lunch” trend, the 60’s aesthetic is making a return. Expect to see chic shift dresses, ladylike silhouettes, and classic accessories with a modern twist. It’s a sophisticated look that’s both timeless and fresh.

Plaid
Plaid is a wardrobe staple that never really goes out of style. This year, expect to see it on everything from coats and blazers to pants and skirts. For petites, smaller plaids tend to be more flattering, as larger patterns can overwhelm a smaller frame.

Must-Have Pieces for Fall 2024

Denim
Denim is another trend making a strong return this fall. The denim midi skirt, which made an appearance last year, will continue to be popular. Pair it with boots and a sweater for a cozy, stylish look. Wide-leg jeans will also continue to be a major trend. If you haven’t added this style to your wardrobe yet, now’s the time!

Faux Leather
Faux leather is here to stay, and the quality of these materials has drastically improved. This fall, expect to see everything from faux leather midi skirts to pants. When done well, faux leather can offer the same luxurious vibe as real leather, without the environmental concerns.

Embrace these fall trends in ways that work for you, and enjoy experimenting with your wardrobe. Whether you’re revamping your entire closet or adding a few key pieces, this fall promises exciting opportunities for fashion experimentation.
