Although fall is arguably every fashion lover’s favorite season to dress for (the chunky knits, jackets, layering, hats… I could go on and on!), it can undoubtedly become a bit monotonous. It’s time to refresh your fall wardrobe and I’ve rounded up some of the newest trends that we will be seeing everywhere this season!

Corduroy
Corduroy has been revitalized for Fall with modern silhouettes, and according to the Fall/Winter runways, will be everywhere this season.

Checked Print Blazers
The piece of the season that can elevate everything from your favorite denim, tee or dress, a checked print blazer should be on your Fall must have list.

Metallic
Go bold or be subtle, metallic is in for Fall. I love the idea of a pair of silver metallic booties to complete an outfit.

Baker Boy Hats
Baker Boy Hats topped the outfits of all the fashion “It” girls this past NYFW and are perfect for adding that last minute touch to your Fall outfit.

Belt Bags
This is not your Mom’s fanny pack! Belt bags are a chic alternative to you lugging around a purse all day. It will fit all your essentials and adds an extra accessory to your outfit.

It seems like everywhere we look this fall, there’s some fashion girl rocking bold red hues on their Instagram or style blog. Let’s face it, red is the unofficial “it” color of fall 2017.

Master the art of wearing red this fall by following these fail-proof shortcuts!

Dive into the red trend by styling a red pantsuit with a graphic tee. 

Nail impeccable cold weather style this fall by investing in a red coat. Finish with details like a plaid scarf to make your outfit even more stylish.

Looking for a way to rock the red trend past fall and into winter? Start with something small like a red handbag or bright red lipstick.

If you’re wary of donning a power-red shade from head-to-toe, go for something more subtle like a pair of shoes to make even the most casual of outfits pop.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match red patterns with a plain red staple piece. Try adding unexpected details to your outfit, like a sweet red bow on your ankle.
 

With a classic red dress like this, there’s no doubt you’ll be standing out on date nights and special occasions. *Cue dancing girl emoji.*

Fall is all about sweater weather, listening to Sam Smith’s new song on repeat, and wearing boots all seven days of the week (because, why not?). Boots with heels, stiletto boots, thigh-highs, over-the-knee, ankle boots – there are so many options to choose from.  With that being said, here’s our six-point guide to style boots this fall:

Even the rain can’t put a damper on your fashion game when you’re rocking your favorite rain boots with a dress and trenchcoat.
 

Nothing says model-off-duty like an all-black outfit foundation styled with a pop of color. Top off this look with some tall, black stiletto boots and sunglasses and you’re good to go.
 

Going for a more casual style in your boots? No problem! Wear long boots over a pair of ripped skinny jeans, and style it with a light colored blouse. We suggest anything with ruffles or lace, for a more romantic feel.
 

Besides pumpkin-spice everything, the best thing about fall is that you can wear sweater dresses and knee-high boots all you want.
 

As proven by Kate Ogata, the style blogger behind The Fancy Pants Reports, all black outfits will never go out of style. Add a pair of pointy-toed black boots to toughen up this look.
 

Velvet booties will keep you looking effortless this fall. Forego the neutral colors and opt for a shade in millennial pink for a nice change of pace this fall.
