I Can't Stop Obsessing Over These 6 Autumn Trends

I'm that friend who will jump on any occasion to dress up [1]. Invite me to a casual park picnic or rooftop happy hour, and I'll take that as an excuse to get a little fancy.

As the air gets cooler and the leaves start to brown, I'm getting a lot of my autumn fashion inspiration on Instagram. It may or may not be the app where I spend the most time. I regularly check on my favourite brands and influencer friends to stay ahead of what's going on. That's mainly how I discover new trends and find pieces to shop.

From statement cardigans [2] to dramatic shoulders, I've been obsessing over this autumn's trends, so I curated a roundup for you to test them out. Get playful and experiment with bold colours, standout details, and new silhouettes!

Colourful Leather

Leather has long been a recurring fall trend, but this season, we've seen it come back in exciting new ways. From luxe minidresses to wide-leg culottes, there is an array of colourful pieces that are not only fresh but extremely versatile.

Statement Collars

Peter Pan collars and puffed shoulders have brought a nostalgic energy to this season's fashion. Seen on shirts, cardigans and dresses, statement collars give an air of polished to any look.

This DÔEN Rune scalloped embroidered cotton-poplin blouse [7] ($190) is so dainty and elevated.

A Brown Love Affair

I'm here for the head-to-toe brown looks that are popping up on my Instagram. It's such a rich hue that pairs well with other colours, a great addition to your fall palette. The key to this trend is to mix various shades and fabrics together.

Divine Heritage Cuffed Pleated Shorts

Pair these Divine Heritage Cuffed Pleated Shorts [13] ($245) with a maroon cardigan for a fashionable monochrome moment.

Alpaca-blend Sweater

Wear this Alpaca-blend Sweater [14] ($60) over patent leather pants for a luxe evening look.

La Double J Cropped Knit Top

It's all about the artisanal details of this La Double J Cropped Knit Top [15] ($410).

Relaxed Suiting

Slouchy yet still put-together suit silhouettes have quickly replaced traditional workwear, which is convenient at a time when many of us are working from home. Wide-leg pants and less fitting blazers are giving way to a relaxed alternative that can be both comfortable and flattering.

Linen blazer suit

Throw on this Linen blazer suit [16] ($90, originally $130) for a look that's equal parts casual and dressy.

Pleated bermuda shorts

Pair these Pleated bermuda shorts [17] ($40, originally $80) with a neutral blazer for a business look that conveys confidence.

Buttoned soft blazer

Wear this Buttoned soft blazer [18] ($50, originally $100) with casual jeans and slingback pumps for an effortlessly chic fall outfit.

Voluminous Shoulders

I can't remember what there was before statement sleeves because they are everywhere and definitely here to stay. I love the interesting drama and feminine silhouette they add to any piece of clothing, from cardigans to mini and maxi dresses

Mara Hoffman Freya Dress

This Mara Hoffman Freya Dress [19] ($697, originally $995) is a showstopper.

Waffle Knit Wool Blend Cardigan

This Waffle Knit Wool Blend Cardigan [20] ($119) blends cosy and stylish pretty well.

Gozo Dress

This Gozo Dress [21] ($220) has the most flattering back details and dramatic puff sleeves.
