Everything on the Fall Radar Right Now

Everything on the Fall Radar Right Now

Fall trends used to arrive one at a time, and now they show up all at once, from funnel-neck jackets to sweaters with personality. What connects them is a move away from the anonymous neutrals of recent seasons toward clothes with texture, pattern and a point of view. This edit rounds up what Moda Operandi's stylists are spotting on every It Girl, grouped so you can pick the idea that suits you.

Coats and jackets

Jackets lead the season, especially leather, pony hair and funnel-neck shapes that zip right up to the chin. The high neck is a small detail that makes a jacket feel new.

More coats and jackets

Bombers and plaid jackets bring a slightly sporty, slightly schoolboy energy. The suede bomber in particular has become the easy jacket of the moment.

Knitwear

Sweaters with personality are exactly that, argyle, crochet, florals and oversized shapes. It is a firm move away from the plain cashmere crewneck toward knits you can recognise across a room.

Skirts

Skirts go long and fluid in silk and organza, or short and structured in leather. Both work with a chunky knit, which is how most people will wear them.

Shoes

Ankle boots are everywhere, in suede, python effect and polished leather. The shape is sharper and slimmer than the chunky boots of recent winters.

Jewelry

Chunky necklaces and cuffs are back after a long run of delicate layering. Statement jewelry suits a season where the clothes have more going on.

Tops

Sheer chiffon, organza and plaid shirting sit side by side in the tops. A sheer layer over a camisole is still one of the big ideas for evening.

Beauty

The beauty picks lean heavily toward the lip, with matte lipsticks, glazes and liners. A strong lip is the fastest way to make a simple outfit look deliberate.

Dresses

The dresses are long, fluid and ready for an occasion, from a fringed metallic maxi to jersey and gauze styles. Floor length is becoming the default evening length again.

Trousers

Flared legs, pleated wide legs and a pair in zebra-print pony hair show how varied trousers have become. The flare in particular is having a proper comeback.

Bags

A slouchy hobo, a lace clutch and a pony hair mini cover the bag trends. Soft shapes and texture are winning over stiff, structured bags.

Accessories

Acetate optical frames are being worn as an accessory in their own right, not just a necessity. Square frames are the shape of the moment.

The rest of the edit

More from the trend report, including velvet flares, a woven leather bag and a cape trench.

Our honest take

Nobody needs to wear all of these at once. Pick the trend that feels most like you, whether that is a funnel-neck jacket or a strong lip, and let it carry the season. Trends work better as a menu than as a uniform.
