As the days are getting shorter and the cold wind is slowly starting to creep in, we’re beginning to whip out some of our fall fashion pieces. While we still have a month left until autumn officially commences, it’s never too late to hop on this upcoming season’s fashion trends! What are we going to leave behind, and what’s the one piece of clothing EVERYONE should add to their closet this fall? Spruce up your cozy weather attire with these autumn outfit ideas I personally can’t wait to explore in 2023!

What are the Fashion Trends for Autumn 2023?

If there is one thing we should remember 2023 for in the world of fashion, it’s the revival of the 90s. The “old money” aesthetic phenomenon skyrocketed and completely changed the trajectory of casual dressing. Pieces of clothing such as suits, loafers, linen shirts, and silk dresses, which were once perceived as formal attire, can now be seen casually worn in an everyday street-style manner. This elevated way of dressing intertwined with more sporty elements is going to be a prominent theme this fall. The color palette remains rather neutral with subtle pops of color introduced mostly through accessories. In terms of outerwear, long oversized trench coats and capes are set to be a huge trend that everyone is welcome to explore. Combining tailored pieces, basics, and standout accessories is the formula for success for fall 2023.

Autumn Outfit Ideas 2023

You can never go wrong with a two-piece baggy suit, a pair of sneakers, and an elegant leather bag! When it comes to building a seasonal capsule wardrobe, a beige suit is something that you incorporate into your everyday style regardless of the weather. There are numerous ways to style the pants and the blazer on their own, or you can go for a business casual look by wearing the two together. If you want to elevate this look you can style it with a pair of stilettos. Or if you want to have a more dressed-down casual appearance, you can pair them with classic Converse sneakers. What’s really going to bring your outfit together is your bag of choice. I personally think that leather bags have this incredibly alluring and versatile flair that gives you a little zhuzh even if you’re wearing a more sporty outfit.

Casual & Comfy Long Skirt and Sweater Fall Outfit

Long skirts have been an obsession of mine this year! They are the perfect transitional weather clothing piece that’s so feminine and elegant and can be styled for any weather and occasion! For an everyday effortless look, you can simply pair it with some sneakers, white scrunched socks, a basic white tee, and your favorite baggy sweater on top. It’s comfy, it’s trendy, and you can wear it anywhere from the office to brunch and even a casual date night!

Monochromatic Fall Office Look

Not everyone likes or feels comfortable experimenting with colors in their closet, however, this doesn’t mean you can’t build a stylish monochromatic look! When you’re wearing clothes of the same color or shade, what’s going to bring some character into your outfit is the use of different fabrics. Here we have a simple cashmere sweater tucked in a high-waisted asymmetrical cotton blend long skirt. They’re both black, however, the material they’re made of and the interesting silhouette of the skirt create a beautiful distinction that elevates your look. Loafers in any type of leather are a great piece to add to your capsule wardrobe, as well. They’re comfortable, timeless, and chic in their own unique way. Now, because we have a matte finish vegan leather handbag, the glossy patent leather loafers are a perfect touch that stands out and brings together the whole outfit.

90s-Inspired Autumn Look for All Ages

Grece Ghanem has cemented her position as the ultimate all-age fashion icon! During the Copenhagen Fashion Week, she debuted this incredible outfit that highlights 3 of the biggest trends of the season – denim, Bermuda shorts, and clogs! I know that people are probably going to have polarizing opinions about these trends, but you need to be prepared because the hard-hitting 90s are here to stay! The bottom line is comfort and versatility. There are hundreds of modern variations of the clogs and thanks to their unique design they can easily elevate even the most simple of outfits. Tailored Bermuda shorts are another fun spin on the classic 90s oversized suit. Instead of the high-waisted straight pants, you can pair your blazer with the comfy baggy knee-length shorts. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that denim can be styled with *almost* anything! Especially if you’re staying within the same color scheme, a denim jacket can really bring some edge and effortless cool to your look!
