Fall is hitting store shelves and I have made a modest wish list for the fall 2023 season. My wish list is casual and of course I could end up getting something not on the list. You never know if an event will pop up that I need something new for! haha
Loafers are a fabulous and classic shoe. While I have a pale yellow pair and a beige pair, I don’t own a black pair. How did that happen?? So, this looks like a good season to invest in a timeless pair of loafers, which are black!
I can always use a new pair of jeans. Jeans are a wardrobe staple here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am always in them! This pair is clean and offers a medium blue hue which can be worn during any season of the year. Love that!
A fun skirt is always in order. This one offers an asymmetrical hemline and is something I would buy it for fashion week; therefore, I need it in my life. haha. It can be dressed up with Mary Janes or styled in a casual manner with those fabulous lug sole boots I am eyeing for the fall and winter seasons. Since it is black, I will get a lot of use out if it!
It is always nice to have a good sweater for fall. Cardigans are on trend for the fall 2023 season, and this one has a pretty pattern. I can wear it over a tank top in mild weather and layered when the weather cools down more. Love it!
My obsession with Mulberry continues, and this beautiful satchel is tops on my handbag wish list. If course, my wish list is long in the handbag department! You will see that later this week . . .
It’s pre-fall season! August is the month to test out the new fall trends and try to weave them into your summer wardrobe; after all, it is still hot outside! The easiest way to update your wardrobe this month is to wear colors from the fall color palette, fall nail polish-loving Dior’s new collection, and carry a fabulous yet anonymous handbag. Love!
The denim pencil skirt is a great way to start rocking the fall trends! While temperatures are still up there, the denim pencil skirt can be paired with loafers, loafer mules, and even sandals. Pair it with a tee, a classic belt, and an anonymous handbag and voila! You have a chic, updated outfit which will still be comfortable in the warmer weather. Love that!

There are so many fashion and style trends hitting the streets this fall 2023 season. In order to sort through the fleeting trends, and the ones that will stick, I have curated them and identified the top style and fashion trends for the fall 2023 season into this post.
This fall season continues to showcase understated and chic style. Timeless pieces working in a fashion forward way will be the hottest trend of the season. You may find many of these trends in your closet, making it easy to just add a couple of new pieces for the fall season to update your overall look. This season is the super bowl for investment dressing and understated style. This is your season!
If you have not read my post regarding how to shop your closet for fall, be sure to take a look at it before hitting the stores. You might have some of these trends in the back of your closet! After you read, identify the trends you love which will work with your lifestyle, and then shop! That’s the fun part right?
So, without further ado, here are the hottest fashion and style trends for the fall 2023 season!
Fall color trends
Vibrant colors are hot for fall! You will see several shades of green, blue, red, neutrals, and pink. Pink was picked up after the announcement of the Barbie movie, so while not dominant on the runways, this sweet hue is hot on the streets. Look for pinks to continue into early fall; just don’t overbuy this color as it will fade as we move deeper into the fall season.
Traditional autumn hues are hot too! Look for darker green, deep shades of red, and rich browns. Black is hot too, but I just stated the obvious, right?
Fall shoe trends
Fall shoes are a little bit more fun this year! Look for classic loafers, loafer mules, loafer pumps, and anything that tries to be a loafer. The Mary Jane is also back. We saw a little bit of a resurgence last year, but this year, Mary Janes are everywhere. If you have a pair in your archives, pull them forward!
Sweet little ballet flats are popular again this fall season. This is a classic shoe style you might already own! If so, pull them forward. If not, snap up a pair, unless you need a lot of arch support, then skip this trend. Ballet flats tend to not have a lot of foot support.
When it comes to boots, your closet might already be in good shape! Lug soles, utility style boots and western style boots are still hot. Keep those styles and wear them again this fall.
Fall jewelry trends
This fall, look for hoop earrings, classic jewelry pieces, and colorful stones. Fun colors are hot for fall, so if you have semi-precious jewelry sitting around, bring it forward! This is the season to spice up your classic ensemble with some colorful gems, classic silver bracelets, and chic hoops.
Fall clothing trends
Classic and understated style is tops for fall! Look for the continuation of the power suit, blazers over jeans, and matching sets. In addition to workwear, and structured style, look for wide leg pants, slim denim pencil skirts, the return of the classic wrap dress, and denim on denim.
Investment dressing is key as the so-called “quiet luxury” trend continues. If you are an investment dresser, this trend is silly, but to those who follow trends, this means toning down looks, shelving logos, and going for a clean aesthetic.
The denim jacket is hot for fall as well. In addition, denim is trending cleaner, so steer clear of tears, rips and distressed denim pieces.
When it comes to hemlines, look for ankle length and mini hemlines, with the exception of the denim pencil skirt which will hit mid-calf.
For a full report on all of the fall handbag trends, check out my dedicated article. In short, fall is all about the anonymous handbag, soft and squishy handbags, smaller handbags, the return of the lady bag (not that it ever went away, it’s a classic), shoulder bags, top handle bags in general, and high-quality craftsmanship. Love that!
Well, there you have it! The hottest trends for fall. Which trends are you looking forward to wearing this upcoming fall 2023 season?
Thanks for stopping by!
