2024 Fall Fashion Trends: Must-Have Pieces You Already Own!

Lately, every time I scroll through TikTok, there’s no escaping the flood of fall fashion trend videos. From “the must-have shoes for fall” to “the trends you’ll be seeing everywhere,” it’s clear that people are buzzing with excitement about the 2024 Fall Fashion Trends season. But here’s something interesting—I’ve been noticing a pattern in the comment sections too. When asked, “What shoes are we wearing this fall?” many are responding with, “The ones already in my closet” or “The same shoes I rocked last fall.”

As a fashion enthusiast, especially when it comes to fall, I can’t imagine a new season without a wardrobe update. But with inflation soaring and the “underconsumption core” trend gaining momentum, it’s no wonder people are looking to shop their own closets this fall. The good news? Many of 2024’s fall trends are likely already hanging in your wardrobe.

Leopard print, bold reds, and metallics are once again dominating the new arrivals at every major retailer. The quiet luxury pieces you snagged after Sofia Richie’s wedding and your coastal grandma or cowgirl-inspired items are still perfect for 2024. And let’s not forget the timeless fall staples that never fade: rich denim, suede, cozy knitwear, knee-high boots, a classic trench coat—you know the essentials.

With all the fall fashion buzz out there, it can be overwhelming to sift through and pinpoint the trends that are truly wearable. That’s where I come in. I’ve done the legwork for you, diving into this year’s autumn/winter runway reports, analyzing trend breakdowns from top fashion magazines, and checking out what’s trending on social media and Pinterest. The result? A curated list of the eight must-have fall fashion trends for 2024.

Denim on denim –

Denim on denim is a timeless trend, though its variations have evolved over the years. This season, the classic combo gets a Scandi-chic upgrade. Think an oversized denim button-up paired with relaxed-fit jeans, accented with red or animal print ballet flats and accessories—this is the go-to look for fall 2024.

Turtlenecks and High Necklines –

This trend is straight off the runways. High necklines and turtlenecks were standout features in many designers’ autumn/winter 2024 collections. While turtlenecks have always been a classic, they’re taking center stage this year. When you’re piecing together an outfit that calls for a tee, reach for your favorite turtleneck instead and layer it with your jacket of choice. We’re also seeing turtlenecks appear in unexpected places, like sleeveless dresses, adding a fresh twist to this timeless style.

Animal print –

If you’re ready to bring out your favorite leopard pieces or even dig deeper for some vintage zebra prints, you’re in luck—animal prints are making a strong comeback this year. Snakeskin, which had its heyday in the late 2010s, is also back with a fresh, elevated twist. If you’ve held onto any animal print accessories like belts, bags, coats, or shoes, now’s the perfect time to dust them off. These prints are a fantastic way to add a playful touch to your outfit while still keeping things neutral.

Earth tones –

Earth tones for fall? Maybe not revolutionary, but undeniably stunning. This season is all about rich, deep hues like burgundy, olive green, chocolate brown, and navy blue. The beauty of this trend lies in its versatility—these shades are practically neutrals, making them effortless to style with anything in your wardrobe. They also pair beautifully together—an olive green jacket with a burgundy bag is a perfect combo. And if you’re in the mood to experiment, try mixing chocolate brown and navy blue in a single look for a bold statement.

Corporate chic –

If you’ve got pieces in your closet that scream Blair Waldorf, it’s time to bring them out again. Your blazers, button-ups, pleated skirts, Mary Janes, and ladylike jackets are making a big comeback this season. For a chic yet relaxed look, pair a blazer with wide-leg jeans and ballet flats. Pleated skirts are perfect with an oversized sweater and sneakers, especially as we transition from summer to fall.

And if you’ve been holding onto a stash of corporate wear from your pre-Covid office days, shift those pieces to the front of your closet. Tailored trousers and suiting-style items are now stylish beyond the office, giving you an instant fashion boost this year.

Boho-

Are you getting nostalgic about Vanessa Hudgens at Coachella? Don’t worry—2024’s boho style is more refined than the 2013 version. This season’s take on boho features tasteful, ’70s-inspired elements like fringe, suede, dark florals, and lace, adding a special touch to your fall outfits. Think of this modern boho as a series of subtle outfit updates. Swap a small shoulder bag for an oversized suede tote. Trade your sneakers for the cowboy boots you’ve been eyeing. And choose a playful quilted or patchwork jacket over a basic neutral one.

Red Shades-

Whoever is handling PR for the color red deserves a big raise! It’s sticking around as the “IT” color for another season. From vibrant cherry to rich burgundy, red is set to be everywhere once again. Keep rocking your red ballet flats, shoulder bags, and cardigans. Meanwhile, I’ll continue saving every red-themed outfit I spot on Pinterest and Instagram for future inspiration.

As we embrace fall 2024, it’s clear that this season is all about blending timeless classics with fresh twists. From the enduring charm of denim on denim and the resurgence of turtlenecks to the playful return of animal prints and the sophisticated allure of earth tones, there’s something for everyone. The revival of corporate chic and the refined boho style add even more flair to your wardrobe. And, of course, red remains the standout color of the season, infusing every outfit with vibrancy. Whether you’re shopping your closet or exploring new additions, these trends are sure to elevate your fall fashion game.
