Fashion and trends change like the seasons.
Fall has arrived and winter is just around the corner, which means it’s time for scarves, sweater dresses and peacoats.
According to Harper’s Bazaar, these classic fall staples will still be a huge part of the fashion world this fall.
Other timeless fall styles include leather jackets, long sleeved dresses, blazers, chunky knit sweaters, puffer jackets and knee-high boots.
These styles have been fashionable during the cooler months for decades and they don’t appear to be going out of style anytime soon.
Yet this fall, there are many new styles in stores and on the streets. Elle magazine anticipates that the next four months of fashion will include a lot of leather, fun prints, velvet, turtlenecks, oxblood tones and baroque-inspired garments.
These exciting new trends may not be around for long, so wear them while you can!
