Fall and winter fashion doesn't have to mean another season of wearing the same sweaters, jeans, and neutral colors on repeat.
Some of the best trends this season are familiar classics with a little more personality. Think colorful cashmere sweaters, patterned cardigans, rich seasonal colors, and outerwear that goes beyond your usual neutrals.
Whether you love classic styles or enjoy experimenting with trends, there are plenty of options to explore this fall and winter.
1. Colorful Sweaters
If your sweater collection is mostly black, gray, and beige, this is your sign to have a little fun with color.
Pink, turquoise, lime green, and other brighter shades are making their way into fall and winter wardrobes. And you don't have to reserve them for spring.
A colorful sweater can change the entire direction of an outfit, even when you're wearing your usual favorite jeans or pants.
Don't be afraid to explore colors outside your typical fall palette.
2. Fair Isle and Patterned Cardigans
Patterned knitwear is one of those fall and winter trends that keeps coming back, and I'm not complaining.
Fair Isle patterns, multicolored knits, and button-front cardigans give you another option beyond your everyday solid sweaters.
The key is paying attention to the styling. You can wear these traditional patterns without your outfit looking dated, especially when you pair them with current denim styles and accessories.
3. Chocolate Brown and Rich Colors
Chocolate brown is a color worth exploring if you love your classic neutrals but want something different from black.
And it doesn't stop there. Burgundy, forest green, and other rich colors bring plenty of options to your fall and winter wardrobe.
Try mixing these deeper shades with lighter neutrals or even adding an unexpected color combination.
Your fall wardrobe doesn't have to be brown from head to toe.
4. Classic Plaid Shirts
Plaid shirts aren't going anywhere, but how you're wearing them can make all the difference.
Instead of automatically pairing your plaid shirt with the same jeans and boots every year, explore different denim silhouettes, layering options, and color combinations.
Plaid is a classic fall print, but that doesn't mean your outfits have to look the same every season.
5. Argyle Sweaters and Preppy Fashion
Argyle sweaters are another classic making their way into fall and winter fashion.
And if you love a little preppy style, this is one trend worth revisiting.
From traditional burgundy combinations to more colorful options, argyle gives you a chance to introduce patterns into your wardrobe without stepping too far away from classic styles.
The difference is in how you put the outfit together.
6. Statement Coats and Jackets
Your outerwear doesn't always have to be black, camel, or navy.
A powder blue coat, a chocolate brown jacket, or another unexpected color can make your fall and winter outfits much more interesting.
And remember, your coat is part of your outfit, too.
If you're wearing the same basic pieces underneath, changing your outerwear can give you a completely different look.
You can still love classic fashion while having fun with the trends.
