I know we’re in the dead of winter, but I have to admit, fall is the best time of year to get dressed. Yes, spring and summer have their perks, mainly, being the peak season for wedding guest dresses and ultra-cute (but affordable) swimsuits. And sure, shedding all those heavy layers in favor of something more appropriate for days with a forecast of 75 and sunny is great, but I’d wager that the best fall 2024 fashion trends will have you thinking otherwise.
Not convinced yet? Scroll down to see the biggest trends my fellow ELLE editors and I have seen strut down the fall/winter 2024 runway shows. And if you’re keen on adding any to your collection of 2024 fashion trends, you can shop them all right now, too.
Fluffed Up
Think mob wife style and faux fur coats are just an of-the-moment type of trend? You might want to reconsider. We spotted big fluffy coats and other ready-to-wear items across the globe, with standout styles from 16Arlington, Bottega Veneta, David Koma, Simone Rocha, Marni, and Sandy Liang, to name a handful. Perhaps you want something on the neutral side, but if you’re feeling inspired by the runways, opt for a pretty pastel shade for a more playful touch.

Luxe Leather
If you’re asking me, leather weather is an every-season type of thing, but there’s nothing quite like fall to bust out these wind-blocking pieces. Whether you want something that screams downtown cool like the pieces spotted at GCDS, Ludovic de Saint Sernan, and Luar, or something on the more polished, sophisticated side, as seen at Proenza Schouler and Brandon Maxwell, there’s undoubtedly a style out there for you.

Retro Femme
Prepare to see pretty, prim, and proper pieces reminiscent of the 1960s this fall. We saw feminine, tailored staples at shows including Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, Erdem, Michael Kors, and Jil Sander, among many other runways this season. In other words, tweed, twill, and wool will become mainstays in your sartorial vernacular, guaranteed.

There are some trends that come and go, and others that become so popular, they turn into classics. Sheer materials are one of those trends-turned-staples, and I’m not one bit upset about it. This time around, we’re seeing it in the form of button-down shirts at Christian Cowan, dresses at Gucci, and skirts at Michael Kors and Fendi.

Ultra-High Necklines
It seems that designers are preparing to provide the world with a little extra protection this fall in the form of boxy, ultra-tall turtleneck sweaters and snoods. I was delighted to first see these at the Proenza Schouler show and later at Bevza, Acne Studios, and Balmain. Other brands building up some fashionable necklines include Khaite, Ferragamo, and Helmut Lang, which assures me that this is one cozy trend worth the investment.

Wrap It Up
This trend isn’t necessarily a novel one for the colder months of the year, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less important—and given that I saw it during Copenhagen Fashion Week, I’m starting to think we’ll all need a little extra comfort during the fall/winter 2024 season. Lenny Kravitz and his oversized scarf may not always be on the mood board for cute, cozy outfits, but the looks at Ferragamo, Del Core, Alberta Ferretti, Jason Wu, and Christian Siriano might be. So, do yourself a favor and grab a stylish, oversized scarf or cape to start wearing now, while the temperatures are still on the lower end.
