Cozy knits, luxe leather, all plaid everything–it doesn’t get more fall than that. But this season, the classics come with a bold twist. Runways were brimming with modern, statement-making styles designed to steal the spotlight. From Saint Laurent’s sharp tailoring to Gucci’s jewel-toned showstoppers, this year’s collections prove fall is nothing short of a sartorial celebration. Ahead, five trends to embrace for a runway-ready entrance into the season.
Leather is fall’s undisputed fashion hero. From sleek mini skirts to oversized bomber jackets, designers leaned into the material’s edginess. Look out for buttery-soft textures in unexpected shades like burgundy, forest green and even cream.

Whether it’s a velvet blazer, satin slip skirt, or statement accessories, jewel tones instantly add a touch of opulence to any outfit.
