As the seasons change, so do our wardrobes. Keep up on the latest trends with this cheat sheet of some fashion trends to keep a look out for as reported by Elle, Cosmo and Vogue.
Color
Break out your brightest reds, darkest browns, boldest golds and shiniest silver. These will not just be all over the trees this fall, but also be the primary colors of your wardrobe. Try a beige cashmere sweater, this fine-knit sweater in khaki green from H&M. or this red sweater from ASOS.
Staple Pieces
Keep an eye out for these blasts from the past. Fishnet stockings, long trench coats, retro hats, oversized blazers, wide belts, collars and buttons will be everything this fall.

Try this mid-length skirt or this collared shirt, both available at H&M. This trench coat from ASOS meets the collar, belt, trench and oversized requirements of the season. Pair it with a felt bucket hat like this one from Urban Outfitters to complete the look and give the appearance that you just walked off the runway
Design
Keep a look out for deconstructed materials, patchwork fall florals and fringe. You may have thought that florals would be gone once summer was over however it's the opposite.

Fabric
Expect to see a lot of velvet, plaid, faux fur, denim and sparkles come September. Denim doesn't just mean your favorite jeans—instead, try a denim jacket. Your old sparkly UGGs may need to be upgraded or replaced by new sparkly pair of flats. You can't go wrong with a little plaid, and if you live in the Valley, there is a strong chance you already own a plaid shirt. Fake fur and velvet will also be abundant in coats and tops.
