As the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe for the fall season. While trends may come and go, some textures and fabrics remain timeless, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your autumn style. Let’s go over some of the best textures and fabrics for fall–the timeless ones, and the ones that’ll give you that elegant, feminine touch.
Keep in mind as you read this… when you’re curating the perfect fall look, color is key! Of course, I’m all for wearing what you like during any season. But with fall just around the corner, today we’re focused on looks that’ll give you and those around you that exciting fall feeling!
Now, let’s dive into the classics. Here are some of my favorite fabrics and textures for fall, to help you curate the perfect look!
1. Flannel: Nothing says fall quite like a cozy flannel shirt. Plaid patterns in classic fall colors like deep greens, warm browns, and rich oranges evoke the feeling of a rustic autumn day. Don’t hesitate to layer flannel over a basic tee or under a denim jacket for a casual, quintessential fall look.
2. Denim: Denim is a year-round staple, but it truly shines in the fall. Opt for a well-fitted pair of jeans or a denim jacket to effortlessly transition between seasons. Pair your denim pieces with a soft, chunky sweater for that classic autumn ensemble that’s both stylish and comfortable.
3. Knits: Knitwear is a must-have for fall, and the options are endless. Chunky cable-knit sweaters, cardigans, and even knit dresses offer warmth and style. Earthy tones like camel, olive, and mustard are perfect choices for a timeless fall color palette.
4. Leather: Leather never goes out of style, and it’s a texture that can easily add an edge to your fall wardrobe. A classic leather jacket or a pair of leather boots instantly elevates your look. Consider investing in timeless shades like black, brown, or deep burgundy.
Now that we’ve covered some fall classics, let’s go over the textures and fabrics that will elevate your looks with an extra feminine touch…
1. Silks and Satin: For those looking to add a touch of luxury to their fall wardrobe, silks and satin are the way to go. A silk blouse or a satin slip dress in fall-appropriate hues like emerald green or rich burgundy can instantly elevate your style. These fabrics bring a sensual and feminine flair to your outfits.
2. Cashmere: When it comes to cozy elegance, cashmere is a top choice. A cashmere sweater is not only incredibly soft but also keeps you warm without the bulk. Classic fall colors like deep forest green and warm caramel are perfect for a timeless look.
3. Embrace the Trend, Red for Fall 2023: Sure, it’s not a texture… but I’d be doing you a disservice by failing to mention one of the hottest colors for fall of 2023! While classic fall colors like deep browns and warm oranges are always in style, it’s fun to embrace a trendy shade each season. Especially when it’s one you may already have in your wardrobe. For fall 2023, the standout color is undoubtedly red. Whether you opt for a vibrant crimson scarf or incorporate it into other accessories, red will make a bold statement and keep you on-trend.
