The Vogue Shopping Report: 11 Trends to Incorporate Into Your Fall Outfits

When designers presented their fall collections earlier this year, several trends were born. Now, ’tis finally the season to see how these fresh ideas are fully ready to be integrated into your fall outfits for 2023. 

Quiet luxury may have been the buzzword(s) heard round the world and shouted through the multiverse (not so quietly) on TikTok, and designers embraced the spirit of the social media movement by putting craft at the forefront of their wonderfully wearable collections. Still, that’s not to say there’s no fun for the maximalists. From metallics to polka dots, brands embraced a new point of view on print, texture, and color; all of which work strikingly well with the more neutral basics that are so ubiquitous right now. Fall is a time for new ideas and cozy dressing, and the runway certainly gave us range. Ready to go shopping? These are the 11 key trends to incorporate into your fall outfits 2023.

Real Clothes for the Real World 

Fashion has set its sights on the every day, with pieces that are incredibly wearable and intrinsically easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Think: wear-anywhere freshened-up staples that shine bright and make the rest of your wardrobe happy. Opt for Prince of Wales wool dresses from Gucci, or maybe comfortable cashmere from The Row. Either way: think of it as elevating the basics. Denim maxi skirts from Victoria Beckham and draped crepe t-shirts from Proenza Schouler make real-world minimalism exciting.

Pinstripe Power Dressing

Power dressing has returned, and on the top of everyone’s list is the once humble pinstripe, now reinvented with modern shapes that are so effortless to wear. This trend is also a classic and never tires. Saint Laurent went all out with the pinstripe–but a midi skirt version is an incredibly fresh way to add a little bit of power play to your closet. Rule of thumb says there’s a pinstripe for everyone. Choose a tailored vest or an oversized blazer; throw it over anything, and you’re good to go.

Fall Classics

Back to school or back to fashion—either way, the hallmark fabrics, textures, and classics that come calling each fall have never felt as prevalent on the runways as they do now. Dries Van Noten’s luscious padded corduroy button-downs are a good place to start. But you can also load up on Burberry’s checked wool skirts, or a tried-and-true buffalo check shirt. These sorts of things look equally as stunning worn for picking apples as they do in the office.

Going Gray

If you invest in one color for fall, make it a regal sort of deep gray. The hue was seen everywhere from Prada to Loewe, and it looks especially chic when worn in monochromatic doses. For starters, try an oversized cashmere sweater. Paired with a little wool midi skirt in a matching color gives it a sweet and subversive sort of schoolgirl vibe. Or, you could also always make power moves in an oversized gray suit.

Everyday Metallica 

The runways have been singing the praises of bold metallics from Coach to Gucci. You don’t have to pick a side with this trend; any color will do. Are you gilded gold, sensual silver or more of a copper or bronze fan? Start with a pair of metallic jeans and layer on the charm with shining sweaters. Top it off with a silver trench coat. The more metallic accessories you add, the better.

Polka Dots

From Marni to Miu Miu, polka dots are on the mark for fall. This once slightly sweet and retro print has now become subversively chic through cool silhouettes and unexpected textures. An airy, light, and sheer Miu Miu skirt is an instant hit for colored tights worn underneath. Elsewhere, a button-up or turtleneck top scattered with polka dots makes a style statement. For an op-art effect, pair polka dot pieces of different sizes and hues together.

Long and Lean Dresses

The maxi dress has returned. But instead of the once-loved bohemian shapes and silhouettes, the new look is longer, leaner, more minimal, and ultimately, more streamlined. Take a cue from Chloe, Gabriela Hearst, or Rabanne and choose a dress made of cashmere or merino wool with minimal adornments. A pleat or two here or there adds a hint of romanticism, if it’s all too minimal for you. All you need is a good book and a great fireplace.

Futurist Florals

Florals were deconstructed, blurred, and made into delicate 3D forms on the fall runways. Embrace them with open arms in floaty textured tops by Comme des Garcons paired with purple Dries Van Noten slip skirts covered in a collage of watercolor florals. Printed mesh tops from Jean Paul Gaultier are the perfect layering assist to transform sleeveless dresses or to add a bit of texture play to a chunky knitted cardigan.

Layerable Lace

Layer on the lace and textured embroidery for ornate dressing that feels totally opulent and feminine, but not overdone. Whether you choose a white lace maxi dress from Rabanne or a black lace midi skirt from Sea New York, this look is one that incorporates grunge, girlishness, and bohemian simplicity. Not ready to take the plunge with head-to-toe lace? Add it to your outfit in small flourishes with lace-detailed trousers.

Glam Rebellion

Thom Browne, Marni, and Valentino all explored the dark side of punkish glamor with wayward plaids, ripped denim, and even schoolboy-esque ties. The secret lies in the juxtaposition of styling here. Distressed denim mini + a tailored Vivienne Westwood top with the label’s signature draping = a new punk love story. Cropped blazers and dark flower dresses are also a few essentials to consider.

Tomato Red

The roar of red took the fall 2023 runways by storm. It’s a very particular shade of red too–bright, not too blue, with just a touch of orange, like a ripe tomato. TikTok crowned it Tomato Girl Summer for a reason. Trade your wardrobe staples in neutral hues for a bright tomato red upgrade, like Toteme’s crepe maxi dress or a distressed wool tank top in this surprisingly bright pop of color, which works just as well (if not better!) for fall.
