Click through the gallery to read more about each trend and find out where to shop them.

The Wild Wild West

Come this fall, get ready to bust out your inner cowgirl. Designers like Adam Selman and Raf Simons for Calvin Klein sent Western themes down the runways, and it’s definitely caught on as a full-on trend. Western shirts with rose embroidery, cowboy boots, and tons more are your weapons of choice when it comes to rocking this trend. Yeehaw!

Mad For Plaid

Plaid for fall? Groundbreaking. But really, rather than the grungy flannels we’ve been cozying up to every time the temperatures begin the drop, this fall, plaid is all about being more polished. Tartans and check prints appear in the form of pantsuits, mini skirts, and accessories—how very prep school chic.

Red Hot

While fall colors tend to be dark and dreary in comparison to those of the summer, this season’s flash of bold reds is all we need to keep our spirits lifted. Everything from outwear to our favorite ankle booties gets a vibrant update. Pair with a matte red lip to tie your look together.

1. ASOS, Longline Boyfriend Coat, $111, available at ASOS.

Fall Florals
