13 Fall 2024 Fashion Trends We’re OBSESSED With

Although the first chill of autumn is settling in, fall 2024 is heating up with gorgeous, bold fashion trends. Despite their popularity, these styles are just as timeless as they are trendy. They embody the essence of autumn with luxurious textures, sleek silhouettes, cozy layers, and warm, inviting hues – and that nostalgic fall feeling never goes out of style. Let’s dive into Current Boutique’s must-have fashion essentials for fall 2024.

1. Pattern for fall 2024: Breton stripes

Breton stripes are everywhere this season, and while they’re currently trending, they’ve long been a timeless autumnal staple too. These iconic horizontal stripes originated in France, traditionally worn by French sailors in Brittany (hence the name “Breton”). Over time, they’ve evolved into a perennial classic for shirts, dresses, and sweaters, embodying a light academia aesthetic that’s both warm and inviting.

For fall 2024, they’re being showcased in contrasting colors – like navy and white for a coastal vibe or eggshell and dark brown for fall coziness. Pair Breton stripes with tailored workwear or denim for a sophisticated outfit that seamlessly transitions from the office to apple picking to date night.

2. Fabric of fall 2024: textured knit

Autumn always has some trending variation of knitted sweaters, and for fall 2024, we’re seeing more texture and visual interest than in previous seasons. Designers are embracing intricate details and textured knit patterns, making sweaters and sweater dresses the star of the show. This emphasis on more decorative sweaters strikes the perfect balance between the two seemingly conflicted worlds of quiet luxury and maximalism.  

3. Denim of fall 2024: jean skirts

Midi- and maxi-length denim skirts are a standout trend for fall 2024. Their effortless “pumpkin patch” vibe makes them ideal for fall outings and cozy dates. Style them with chunky sweaters for chilly days or a light tank top when it’s warmer. Complete the look with your favorite fall accessories – think cute boots and playful scarves – for a touch of seasonal charm.

4. Color of fall 2024: fiery red

Red dominated the fall 2024 runways, but this season’s hue is far from the usual muted maroon we see for fall. Instead, we’re seeing tomato girl summer blend over into fall with bright, saturated reds making a vibrant, spicy statement. Go bold with a striking red dress, or infuse a pop of color into a neutral outfit with red accessories.

5. Neutral of fall 2024: chocolate brown

As expected, shades of brown are hot for fall 2024. But as opposed to the light taupe and beige of recent autumns, this season we’re seeing deep, warm hues that’ll make you want to snuggle up with a blanket and a good book. These luxurious chocolate browns pair beautifully with both dark and light wash denim, satin skirts, and leather accents, offering versatile refinement to your fall wardrobe.

6. Animal print of fall 2024: leopard

Animal prints are always popular because nature never goes out of style. Each fall, one animal print rises above the rest in popularity, and for fall 2024, leopard print is king of the fashion jungle.

This season’s leopard print has evolved to be more refined, with many fashionistas wearing it as a neutral rather than a pattern. It’s less about the bold contrast and more about subtle elegance, a polished take on this classic pattern.

7. Pants silhouette for fall 2024: wide-leg
