  • Chocolate brown
  • Royal purple

  • Butter yellow
  • Juicy peach

Denim

👖 Denim is changing too

The biggest thing I’d pay attention to for your wardrobe is moving away from extremely baggy denim toward more intentional silhouettes.

Think:

  • straight leg
  • bootcut
  • kick flare
  • dark denim
  • barrel leg
  • relaxed—but not shapeless

Straight-leg and cleaner silhouettes are already being highlighted as an alternative to the extreme baggy-jean trend.

10 Pieces to Prioritize

1. Chocolate brown suede jacket

2. Dark straight-leg jeans

3. Leopard-print shoe or belt

4. Burgundy sweater

5. Cream/ivory polo sweater

6. Tailored camel or chocolate blazer

7. Knee-high brown boots

8. Loafers

9. Suede shoulder bag

10. One statement jacket—leopard, plaid or textured

Accessories

Your Fall 2026 accessory checklist:

✔ Statement earrings

✔ Brown leather belt

✔ Leopard belt

✔ Suede handbag

✔ Oversized handbag

✔ Gold jewelry

✔ Silk scarf

✔ Statement brooch

✔ Sunglasses

✔ Layered necklaces

A simple outfit can look completely different just by changing the accessories.

Brooches are the Unexpected Trend

This might be the most surprising accessory comeback of the season.

Don’t think of your grandmother’s brooch.

Think:

modern, oversized, sculptural and slightly unexpected.

Put one on:

  • A blazer
  • Lady jacket
  • Sweater
  • Denim jacket
  • Coat
  • Handbag

It’s a great way to personalize an otherwise basic outfit.

The Fall Outfit Formula That Always Works

When you don’t know what to wear, start here:

The 3-piece formula:

Base + Layer + Statement

Example:

Straight-leg jeans

  • cream sweater
  • leopard shoes

Or:

Dark denim

  • white button-down
  • chocolate suede jacket

Or:

Midi skirt

  • knit sweater
  • knee-high boots

The formula works because it keeps the outfit simple while giving you one intentional focal point.
