Fall Fashion Trends: What’s In and What’s Out for 2024

 Fall Fashion Trends: What’s In and What’s Out for 2024

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is over, but it clearly got us all in the mood for fall fashion because I keep getting questions about the latest fall fashion trends. Everyone wants to know what’s in and what’s out, as we assess our closets and determine what stays and what goes and what we may want to add in preparation for the fall season.

I feel like this fall, we’re seeing a lot of the same trends that we saw last year, but we are leaning into the ones that were on the fringe last season. There’s a lot of crossover from last season’s fall fashion trends list, but some were hard to find in the mainstream stores this early last fall, and I’m seeing those everywhere now. And of course, there are a few fresh new trends as well

A Word About Fashion Trends

As always, I have to make a few disclaimers when discussions fashion trends. First of all, I’m looking at mainstream stores where the everyday women who read this blog tend to shop. Depending on where you live, you may feel like some of these are already on their way out, or you may not see anyone wearing them yet, but they’re all prevalent in the mainstream retail stores such as Evereve, LOFT, Anthropologie, etc.

Of course, just because something is “having a moment” doesn’t mean you have to wear it. This is just information to do with as you will. Stylish women know what’s trending, and then selectively choose to incorporate into their wardrobes the ones that best align with their personal style, body type, lifestyle, etc.

Finally, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list of fall trends. Plenty of items that I don’t list here are still current, but these are the ones that stand out to me so far, and the ones that most resonate with my style preferences.

At the end of the day, you should wear what you love, no matter what the “trend reports” say. But if you enjoy knowing what is current, here are 12 wearable 2024 fall fashion trends for the everyday woman.

Fall Fashion Trends: What’s IN For 2024

The widgets at the end of each section provide more examples of each trend for your shopping convenience, and I tried to include a variety of retailers and price points. You can click through on those for more details. As always, I appreciate it when you support my work by shopping through my links!

#1. Wide Leg Jeans

I mean, you knew I had to start here, didn’t you?? Yes, my friends, wide leg silhouettes continue to dominate the denim departments at my favorite retailers, and I’m slowly starting to see more everyday women embracing them. I’m also noticing more full length styles arriving on the scene for fall, and I’m very happy about that because I find them much easier to style with boots and other closed toe shoes. Plus, they’re elongating and flattering on most women.

We will discuss more denim trends later this week, but if you aren’t a fan of wide leg jeans, pretty much anything goes right now. Looking current is more about how you style your jeans than what style of jeans you wear.

#2. Cropped Jackets

Outfit completing jackets are essential to my fall wardrobe, and this year cropped jackets are making a comeback, probably because they pair so well with wide leg and high rise denim styles. I also like how they look with flares and straight leg jeans. I’m seeing everything from twill to wool blends, and denim is around too.
