8 Key 2023 Fall/Winter Style Trends

My September Wednesday Wardrobing Live Series is all about the most important trends of the season, so you can be your best fashionista! Last week, I covered the key colors for the season. If you missed that blog post, grab that here.

This week, I will be covering the important style trends of the season. It isn’t enough to know what the key colors are if you don’t know how to wear them. That is where the style trends come in to play. Style trends are essentially “how to wear it” guidelines for the season.

So let’s dive in:

  1. All over denim: Gone are the days when you needed to match or contrast your denim. This season, do whatever you want. Pair up various shades of vintage wash or light and dark denims. Or, if it is your jam, match your denim head to toe. The key is to wear denims together. Pair your denim jacket or vest with your jeans. Wear a denim shirt with a denim vest.
  2. Power Dressing: All hail to the return of the suit!! Blazers, pleated slacks, and matched suiting are all key looks this season. Go old school and get super trendy with a matching blazer, menswear vest and slacks!! Girl it up by adding a feminine blouse with ruffles and ties. Remember those 80’s oversized blazers? They are BACK!! Roll the sleeves to show a contrasting print and pair them with a skinny slack to balance the shoulder pads.
  3. Uniform dressing: If you love monochromatic and cozy pants, tops and cardigans, you are going to LOVE this new trend. Think head to toe snuggle that you can wear to work. This trend offers knit basics that can be paired together for an office worthy look and then broken apart for a more casual style.
  4. Wardrobe Basics: Love me some staples!! How about you?? If you like classic button down blouses, easy to pair blazers, sleek and dressy leggings, and wide leg jeans, you will love this mix and match trend that is all built around closet staples.
  5. Head To Toe Leather: As a fabric, leather is key this season, but as a style trend, wearing it paired up is the way to go. You will see leather and vegan leather blazers, dresses, skirts, pants and coats. Wear them together to up your style and edge.
  6. Classic Black And White: Cruella Deville would be in love with this trend!! The combination of these two colors is timeless and seasonless, and we love it because not only is it classic, it is classy. Be sure you have some staples in both colors this season and wear them together!!
  7. Oversized Outerwear: Look for your favorite puffy jackets to have larger baffles and squares and to be super puffy. You’ll love wearing this trend when the snow flies!!
  8. Colorful Knits: There are lots of key colors from this season’s palate that are “pop” worthy, and for winter, you will primarily see this in bold sweaters used to brighten up your wardrobe. Whether it is Blue Atoll, Sparkling Grape, Lacecap Hydrangea, Sharp Green, or Fiery Red, there are ample options to amp up your color game this season.
