Last Updated on March 7, 2024
Since I bought that black and red heart sweater, I keep adding the latest fall fashion trends to my cart: a new quilted bomber jacket, chunky gold hoop earrings, a denim oversized blazer, and a dupe for that gorgeous gold Tiffany’s chain necklace. My wallet is slightly paying for it…literally. But my wardrobe needed a refresh in a big way. So, today, I thought I’d share the new fall trends I love for 2023.

10 Best Fall Fashion Trends 2023 — A Complete Guide
After scrolling Pinterest for OOTD inspo (outfit of the day inspiration), I found nothing but basics. A white tee paired with jeans and sneakers. Over and over and over again. The only difference was ripped jeans versus cropped jeans. Much to my dismay, my closet looked the same. Where did all the personal style go? I needed to find new fashion ideas to infiltrate my closet of basics for the fall season. Let’s begin with the newest trend for the upcoming season: the bomber jacket.
Did you know that many of the round-ups from large online publications consist of products submitted by PR firms? Yup, the brand pays for their product to be included. You won’t find this deceptive practice here on HOH. I sometimes use affiliate links and may receive a small commission based on your purchase, but I do not accept paid brand submissions for round-ups like this.
1. Olive Green Bomber Jacket
While shopping for the new season, I spotted this olive green bomber jacket — a collab by AGOLDE x Shoreditch Ski Club. It’s one of my new favorite things! This particular fall jacket runs on the pricy side, but I love the inside straps that allow you to wear it like a backpack if you get too warm. The good news is that with the latest fashion trend hitting stores, I’ve noticed the quilted bomber jacket is dominating, and so many other affordable options are popping up.
The closest dupe I can find for the AGOLDE x Shoreditch Ski Club jacket is this colorblock jacket by Topshop that I found on Nordstrom. Macy’s has a super cute quilted bomber jacket for $50. For $10 less, try this army green quilted jacket from Amazon or this one by Levi’s for under $100. The classic look of this jacket will be the easiest way to update your closet with the latest new trends.

1 – AGOLDE x Shoreditch Ski Club: this one is selling out fast
2 – Nordstrom colorblock jacket by Topshop (it’s presently on sale for 50% off)
3 – Macy’s quilted bomber jacket by Levi’s
4 – Amazon army green quilted bomber jacket (look for less)
5 – Amazon Levi’s non-quilted Bomber Jacket
I snapped this poorly lit pic for an LTK post the other night, but hopefully, it helps give you a real-life look at the AGOLDE x Shoreditch Ski Club quilted jacket. You can check out more of my LikeToKnow.It posts here. Oh and those boots are list below in #10.
2. Gold Tube Hoop Earrings
Selena Gomez was recently rocking a pair of chunky gold tube hoops, and they immediately caught my eye. The timeless classics are back, but these hoop earrings have a bit more heft than the old-school ultra-thin hoops. Even if your entire outfit is giving an outdated vibe, on-trend accessories can hold it together. You can find this fall trend everywhere, from fancy jewelry stores to Amazon, making it easy to update your fall wardrobe.
And for you clip-earring girlies, I found a genius pair of clip-on gold tube hoops here. They have a pull-back clip fastener, so no one has to know they’re clips! I purchased them in the larger size, but they also come in a medium hoop and a mini size.
Shop This Fall Jewelry Trend
1 – Madewell Chunky Large Hoop Earrings
2 – Amazon 14K Gold Plated Hoop Earrings
3 – Revolve Annie Hoop Earrings
4 – Wolf & Badger Gold Large Hoop Clip-On Earrings

3. Long Denim Skirts
I posted a round-up of long denim skirts for women, so you already know maxi skirts are trending for fall. I just ordered the Sadie High Rise Maxi Skirt by Favorite Daughter, and OH EM GEE, it is so cute! The slit up the front is great because you can rock it with sandals on warm weather days and tall boots for chillier fall dressing. This new trend seems to be selling out fast, so if they don’t have your size at the link above, try shopping for this skirt at Saks Firth Avenue.
Shop More Long Denim Skirts I Love
1 – Shopbop AGOLDE Leif Skirt
2 – MyTheresa Tory Burch deconstructed denim midi skirt
3 – Amazon long denim maxi skirt
4 – Shopbop Reformation Nila denim skirt
The cargo pocket look is also trending for fall, and this affordable long denim skirt with cargo pockets does not fail on the fall fashion report card. Oh, and speaking of, cargos are having a moment. I bought these cargo pants the other day, and they, too, are a new favorite thing.
4. All Things Metallic
All things shiny were on the trend report last year, but fashion designers are taking the metallic trend up a level for fall 2023. Rock silver metallic pants to the grocery store, a sparkly sequin skirt for a girls’ night out, and this gold drop-shoulder top is giving Studio 54 vibes (I’d wear this top with wide-leg pants). I’m also loving these affordable cropped silver metallic pants from Revolve.
For a modern take on metallics, I love the fringe on this shiny silver skirt from Nordstrom (doesn’t it look like a disco ball?). The price point is nice, too; however, for those with a higher budget, check out these winter runway favorites — pink and black animal print by Bottega Veneta or this silver metallic mini skirt by Paco Rabanne. Hummena! Hummena! Hummena! They may be pricey, but they are total statement pieces.
Shop These Affordable Trending Metallic Pieces
1 – Anthropologie low-rise sequin maxi skirt
2 – MANGO silver metallic pants
3 – Wolf & Badger gold drop shoulder top
4 – Nordstrom silver fringe skirt reminds me of a sparkly disco ball
5 – Revolve cropped pants in silver (under $100)
5. Gold Paperclip Chain Necklace
Leave it to Tiffany to make us all lust over the gold paperclip necklace, but spending $10k on the classic or, better yet, $17k on the graduated necklace is not in everyone’s wheelhouse. Thank god for a good dupe. Am I right? While walking around the mall, I found this one at Kendra Scott, and this more affordable two strand necklace at EVEREVE. I also included a couple more I found online and linked them below.

1 – EVEREVE Two Strand Paperclip Tennis Necklace
2 – Kendra Scott 22 Inch Large Paperclip Chain Necklace in 18k Gold Vermeil
3 – Uncommon James Everyday Paper Clip Chain Necklace
4 – Madewell Gold Paperclip Chain Necklace

5. The Denim Blazer
When I popped into FELT Chicago, Cat, the co-owner, styled me in a few pieces. She chose a denim blazer by 3×1, and when I spied it in the dressing room, I was like, oh hell no, but I channeled by best Chevy Chase ala Community and tried it on anyway. Dayum, was I so wrong! That denim blazer was FIRE! Everyone’s head in that store turned and looked at me when I walked out. It has an oversized look with shoulder pads but is not sloppy (and yes, bold shoulders are back). You can shop this denim blazer online at Sak’s or here on Shopbop.
I realize the 3×1 blazer is pricier, so if you want the look for less, check out the options below for a lower price point. I guarantee this blazer will become one of your go-to closet staples.
Shop The Look For Less
1 – GAP has a more structured version with a tapered waist
2 – Madewell has a denim blazer cut similar to the 3×1 version
3 – EVEREVE also has its version of this trending fall fashion
7. Get Edgy With Leather Pieces
Be it real or faux, you saw a lot of leather on this season’s runways, and I’m here for it. Although the classic leather jacket is still on point, as are leather pants, think outside the box with this sustainable faux leather skirt; it’s totally giving Y2k vibes when paired with chunky Chelsea boots.
This t-shirt looks like leather, but it’s actually a polyester spandex blend (I also own it in gold, and it’s on heavy rotation in my daily wardrobe). Dress it up with trousers for work, or give it an edgy look with distressed jeans with one of the quilted bomber jackets from above. And yes, definitely pair it with the gold tube hoop earrings!

8. Mary Janes (one of the best trends IMO)
Shoe trends are always my favorite, and the Mary Jane shoe is on my radar and coming in hot for fall! I’ll forever be a Mary Jane girlie, so I’m definitely here for a trend when it’s a timeless classic. Not to mention, they are one of the most versatile shoes because they come in every heel size.
These silver chunky heel Mary Jane shoes remind me of the Miu Miu shoes I almost wore to my high school reunion. These shoes also get bonus points for rocking the metallic trend, but if you want a classic look, don’t sleep on these classic black shoes from Madewell. Wear them both with a pair of wide-leg jeans (still one of the denim trends that is here to stay).
Throw it back to the Tumblr girl days with these chunky Dr. Martens — I think I still own my Mary Janes from my Shippy Shoes college days, circa 1997, and will be digging mine out and hitting the reset button on them as soon as I hit publish. Because these are chunkier shoes, I’d pair them with straight-leg jeans.
These rhinestone studded Steve Madden ballet flats are giving punk rock balletcore and a nice dupe for the Miu Miu mesh ballerinas (these tend to sell out quickly, so I’m also including this similar looking flat by Jeffery Cambell), while these gold ballet flats will go with anything and everything, even a pair of jeans.
Pair These Trending Mary Janes With Your Fall Outfits
1 – MANGO block heel metallic shoe
2 – Dr. Martens Crazy Horse Leather Mayr Jane Shoes
3 – Anthropologie gold ballet flats
4 – Madewell The Nettie Heeled Mary Jane
5 – Steve Madden Vinetta Rhinestone Mary Jane Flat (dupe for the Miu Miu ballet flat)
Don’t be afraid to pair these shoes with fun socks like these lightweight metallic socks. Yeah, I said what I said. Rocking an eye-catching detail for your ankles will give you a downtown edge

9. Add A Pop Of Color
Tomato Girl has headed into fall, and she says forget the traditional, earthy, rich colors this time of year and jazz up your fall clothes and cozy sweaters with a bold color, which can be as easy as red socks with loafers or popping on a red sweater like this one — BTDubs, you probably already own these essential pieces, so look in your closet first before heading out into the fashion world to refresh your wardrobe. Bold reds are my personal favorite, but a Barbiecore pink sweater paired with wide leg jeans is a classic style.
Shop Cozy Sweaters For Fall
1 – Garmentory red “Oui” clutch by Clare V (shown below)
2 – Tibi cashmere convertible sweater (comes in different colors). See all the different ways to style it below
1 – Revolve red turtleneck sweater in a boucle knit
2 – EVEREVE red sweater with soft shaker-style knit
4 – Revolve Barbie pink sweater
This bold clutch packs a punch, and if you want to carry it daily, pop it in a larger tote bag and use it as an organizer.
This cashmere number by Tibi is expensive AF, but think of it as an investment piece. This one, in particular, is versatile with its many ways to style it. Talk about a peak quiet luxury moment. I’m absolutely feral for this sweater.

10. Boots For The Winter Months
The shorter ankle booties worn with skinny jeans have passed into obsolescence on the trend cycle and have been updated to a more substantial boot like the 5050 knee-high boots by Stuart Weitzman. These particular boots have a classic style you’ll wear over and over again — key when purchasing an investment piece. If these are beyond your budget, this similar-looking pair of boots on Tuckernuck is easier on the wallet, while these thigh-high boots from Sezane fall right in between the two price points.
The trend reports are all about cowboy boots this year, and I wasn’t on board until I read this InStyle article, which taught me how to style them. These affordable Jeffery Campbell cowboy boots on Free People won’t break the bank and come in multiple colors, from metallic silver to tan suede to black to pink.
The best boots for my fall wardrobe have been the black lug-sole ankle boots. I have large calves, so tall boots can be tricky for me. I spied these black ankle boots in the Sezané store and had to buy them immediately. The side zipper makes it easy to pull them on (loosen the tie once to fit your foot). Still trending for fall at the Chelsea boots (yes, I do realize these new trends are all throwbacks to 90s fashion—don’t come at me in the comments). This pair has pull-on tabs for easy on-off, and the leather has been treated with a water-resistant spray.
Shop Trending Boots For Fall
1 – Net-a-Porter Stuart Weitzman ‘5050 Lift’ boots have a leather front and stretchy back
2 – Tuckernuck knee-high boots with a lower price point
3 – EVEREVE – black lug Chelsea boot
4 – Free People – Jeffery Campbell cowboy boots (get the silver and hit two trends in one!)
5 – Sezané black ankle boots with gold buckle and side zipper
