Fall 2020 Fashion Trends – Top 10

I am getting the vibe this fall that a lot of people are 100% ready to ditch summer as fast as possible. As for me, I want to hold onto summer for as long as I can. There are many reasons driving those feelings, but when the change of season is approaching, I do find the desire to switch out my wardrobe creeping up on me. It is time to talk about fall 2020 fashion trends. This time around I am discussing 10 total trends, which includes a color palette to get you started. By the end of this post you will have a direction for your next shopping trip or adventure to your closet. As always, I am providing shoppable selections to further assist. Grab your favorite seasonal drink, perhaps a pumpkin spice latte, and let’s hop to it.

Fall 2020 Fashion Trends

1. Fedoras

I am starting the fall 2020 fashion trends list off with fedoras. While I am not a hat girl, I am really getting into fedoras! They have the magical ability to upgrade your outfit instantly, and they will make you look that much more stylish. The material is more so made for colder months, but you can honestly get away with fedoras all year round, making them a closet staple and good investment piece. I recommend starting out your collection with some basic colors like black, taupe, brown, gray, etc. and then you can move on to specialty colors.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Camel Tan Fedora + Faux Suede Leopard-Trim Fedora + Felted Wool Hat + Chic Burgundy Hat + Black Chain Trim Bowler Hat + Retro Wide Brim Fedora + Wesley Fedora

2. 2-piece sets

Second, two piece sets are becoming quite popular. The benefit to these are that the outfit is already made for you, which minimizes effort on your end and ultimately saves time. Additionally, they provide a good opportunity to layer your style, and overall will make you look like a style expert.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Brown Snake Print Pant Set + Ribbed Tee & Skirt Set + Black Plaid Oversize Blazer Set + Long Sleeve Floral Open Front Cardigan and Pants Set + Crop Top and Pants Set + Surplice Wrap Layered Ruffle Sleeve Knotted Top & Pants Set

3. Hair Accessories

Third are anything but ordinary hair accessories. You probably accessorize your hair for function, but I urge you to incorporate pieces that are solely to make a statement. We are seeing large, puffy headbands and head wraps, claw clips, bobby pins with words and shapes, and hair scrunchies are sticking around from past seasons. Besides throwing something onto the hair quickly, I recommend wearing a hair scrunchie or two on the wrist.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Butterfly Bobby Pin Set + 5-pack Velvet Scrunchies + Tortoise Hair Clips + Silver Sexy Love Kiss Girl Four Clips + 6-pack Headbands + Bowknot Satin Scrunchies

4. Booties/Ankle Boots

Fourth are booties or ankle boots. Really, short boots are trending more than tall boots right now. I am seeing a lot of pure black or stark white boots, and plenty of crocodile or snake prints. More often than not the booties will have some sort of a heel. The material is typically shiny and polished instead of velvet or suede.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Block Heel Booties + Circus by Sam Edelman Hadden Boot + Faux Leather Pointed Toe Booties + Mid-Calf Booties + Patent Ankle Boots + Red Faux Suede Ankle Boots

5. Denim Jackets

Fifth are denim jackets, but denim in all forms is highly appropriate. During transitional weather I like to grab my denim jacket before I head out the door, but you can also incorporate it into your outfit as a layering piece. My denim jacket collection starts with a medium wash blue denim that I am covering with cute pins, and now I am adding on with black and white. Denim comes in many colors, and even patterns, so do not be afraid to try something new.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Women’s Denim Jacket + Wrangler Stretch Denim Jacket + Studded & Faux Gem Denim Jacket + Rumors Washed Black Denim Jacket + STS Blue Crop Boyfriend Denim Jacket + You’re Not a Tone Denim Two-Tone Jacket

6. Kimonos

Pressing on with the fall 2020 fashion trends are kimonos. My Walmart is completely inundated with kimonos, and I am finding them in other stores as well. They seem to be harder to come by online, but they are definitely all the rage. Kimonos scream layering for a polished style, but they are also great for transitional weather. You can throw on a kimono earlier in the day when it is too chilly to walk around in your favorite t-shirt or cami, then take it off later as you warm up. Consider wearing a kimono over everything, from jeans and t-shirts, to even dresses.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Foil Graphic Kimono + Chunoy Women’s Chiffon Kimono + Open Printed Kimono Topper + Printed Kimono Overpiece + Magic Dance Border Print Kimono + Crinkle Print Wrap

7. Cutouts

As you shop this season, keep your eyes peeled for pieces with cutout sections. We are seeing a lot of geometric cutouts, but anything goes. You do not have to show a lot of skin, but cutouts add interest and can spice up what might be an otherwise boring or ordinary piece.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Cutout Dress + Active Crew Cutout Top + Puff-sleeved Blouse + Elegant Cutout Rib Knit Top + Country Line Dress + Cut-Out of It Twist Open Back Blouse

8. Colored Leather

Leather is popping up everywhere this season! Leather skirts seem to be the most prominent, but leather can be worn in all formats, from coats, to shirts, dresses, and more. Basic black leather is always in style, but you cannot go wrong by picking up some colored leather. As far as color choice, that is up to you, but I do have a color palette at the end of this post that you can refer to for some inspiration.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Ankle Length PU Pants + Faux Leather Mini Dress + Chic Wine Red Pencil Skirt + Faux Leather Moto Jacket + Side Zipper Flare Pleated Faux Leather Skater Skirt + Chocolate Faux Leather Bodysuit

9. Animal Prints

It is safe to say that leopard has been trending for many years, and there is no end in sight. Besides leopard print, any animal print goes this season. You can try going out of your comfort zone with a zebra piece. We are also seeing a lot of crocodile and snake print popping up on boots, but snake print is coming back in multiple formats.

Shop the trend:

Featured | Long Sleeve Peasant Dress + Snake Print Slip Dress + Tan Crocodile Pointed Toe Mid Calf Boots + Leopard Print Long Sleeve Turtleneck + Wide-cut Blouse + Snakeskin Print Satin Midi Skirt

10. Fall 2020 Color Palette

I am ending this list of fall 2020 fashion trends with a color palette for the season. None of these colors should be a surprise, especially when we consider previous fall seasons. For the most part, these hues are jewel tones. We are seeing a lot of chocolate brown, black, olive green, mustard, navy blue, and a terracotta or even rusty red.

Conclusion

Now that we are at the end of this fall 2020 fashion trends list, you should have a better grasp of what pieces you want to buy, or how to best mix or match pieces you already own. This season is bringing us plenty of sleek and shiny materials to pair with free-flowing pieces for a structured aesthetic. So far, my favorites are the fedoras, colored leather, and booties. There are abundant ways that these trends can be combined to keep you looking super cute. Many of these items will become closet staples for years to come. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
