The Fall Trend: Romance
From puffy, almost princess-like sleeves to Victorian-inspired silhouettes and so-pretty prints, romance continue to be a big theme for Fall. While it's warm, opt for a puffy-sleeve top or voluminous mini with sandals and in Autumn, simply swap for boots.

The Fall Trend: Shades of Green
From neon bright to soft pistachio, shades of green ruled designer runways for Fall, especially when worn head to toe. In warm weather, have fun with vibrant hues by opting for flouncy silhouettes or trying a mix of super-colourful shades top to bottom. When temperatures cool, simply layer your green pieces with blazers, jackets, coats, and scarves.

The Fall Trend: Animal Prints
From snake print to leopard, zebra, and tiger, animal motifs have ruled in fashion as of late and — surprise! — they're continuing to be a major print trend for Fall. To refresh your lineup of animal-printed outfits, try a spot or stripe you haven't before, or mix-and-match motifs for a head-to-toe look. As temperatures drop, simply add in layers to stay warm.

The Fall Trend: Darker Denim
Nostalgia has had a heavy influence on denim trends over the past several seasons with lighter washes, "mom" silhouettes, and baggy shapes reigning supreme. For Fall, things are getting darker with inky, indigo washes and shades of charcoal and black (the high waits and straight and wide legs are certainly sticking around, however). While it's still warm, offset these moody hues with lightweight tops and trendy tie-dye. Later in the season, go for denim-on-denim styling and start mixing in chunky sweaters, textured blazers, and coats.

The Fall Trend: Long Skirts
Midi skirts have been the silhouette du jour in fashion and for Fall, hemlines are continuing in the lengthy direction falling both below the knee and hitting at maxi length. Have fun with this feminine silhouette by trying bright colours, jaunty prints, and tiered silhouettes and pair with sandals and sneakers now and your favourite boots come Fall.

Seventies style plays a huge part in Fall fashion trends, but retro sweaters are one of the most fun and easy-to-wear takes on the trend. Whether you're into a ribbed knit, chunky mockneck, or marbled motif, this trend works now with cut-off shorts when a Summer breeze blows by and transitions easily to Fall with everything from denim to skirts.
