Your Guide To Shopping Fall's Six Biggest Trends
From poofy sleeves to puffer pants
With Labor Day Weekend now just days a way, summer is *officially* coming to a close. Sure, we're sad to see warm weather and weekends spent at the beach come to an end, but we can't deny that we're pretty stoked to start dressing for fall, too.
We've been patiently waiting to start wearing the trends we saw grace the Fall 2019 runways back in February and March, and now the time has finally come. Need a bit of refresher? Don't worry, we made it easy for you. We rounded up the biggest (and most wearable) trends of Fall 2019 and are letting you in on exactly where to shop them.
From the poofiest of sleeves to the tiniest of handbags, your guide to shopping the six trends you're about to see everywhere awaits.
The Poofier The Sleeve, The Better
The fall runways were alive with sleeves of gigantic proportions. From Hellessy's '80s off-the-shoulder styles to Rodarte's sequined magic, the poofy statement sleeve we saw pop up in summer's sundresses is most definitely here to stay throughout fall and winter.

Purple Reign
Of all the colors to make their way to the Fall 2019 runways, purple—mostly pastel and pop-y shades of lilacs and lavenders—reigned supreme, and were seen on the runways of Tibi, Sally Lapointe, and more. Considering fall's typical color palette consists of neutrals and deeper jewel tones, we're all for this vibrant, refreshing color bringing us into the colder, darker, and gloomier season to come.

Cozy Quilting
This fall, puffer quilting goes beyond just outerwear. From the runways of Oscar de la Renta down to Rachel Comey, we saw quilting take the form of pants, coat and blazer lapels, and even cocktail dresses! Welp, this season is about to be a pretty damn cozy one.

Snakeskin Is The New Black
Forget the basic black ankle boot. This fall? Snakeskin is our new neutral. With the animal print trend still going strong, snakeskin printed boots in shades of taupe and gray, ranging from ankle- to calf-length, have become to new footwear essential, appearing all over the runways of cool contemporary labels such as Staud and Maryam Nassir Zadeh. We'll be sure to snag ourselves a pair to start wearing post-Labor Day.

Teeny-Tiny Bags Are Here To Stay
Unfortunately for those who like to carry their lives with them everywhere they go, the teeny-tiny mini bag is still having a moment for Fall 2019. In fact, it's quite possible that they've gotten even smaller. While most of the bags we saw on February's runways, from Jacquemus' infamous Le Chiquito to the tiny styles seen at Brandon Maxwell and Carolina Herrera, are ridiculously tiny, the shoppable minis outlined below should *at least* be able to carry your smartphone (which is all one really needs, right?).

Tie-Dye Is Still Going Strong
One of Spring 2019's most significant print trends is following through into Fall 2019, appearing on the runways of Prabal Gurung, Collina Strada, and Creatures of the Wind, just to name a few. From psychedelic to California-chill, there are tons of tie-dyed, cooler weather-appropriate goods to snatch up this season.
