A Stylist Told Me the Top 4 Fall Trends to Snag on Amazon From $12

Though it feels like summer just started, it’s officially time to start thinking about your fall wardrobe (gasp!). While some are already lighting candles and brainstorming Halloween costumes, I’m having a tougher time embracing autumn’s impending arrival. So, to get into the crunchy-leaves spirit, I tapped stylist Selby Kosky to spill her trend forecast for the upcoming season. Below, get the scoop on her fall wardrobe tips and shop corresponding Amazon pieces starting at just $12.  

The following finds will kickstart your autumn shopping haul and push your daily outfit rotation ahead of chilly weather. Browse through versatile staples including textured skirts and billowy blouses, plus statement shoes and chic accessories from brands like Sam Edelman, Lucky Brand, and JW Pei. Kosky recommends employing her picks as inspiration and incorporating “different colors, styles, and silhouettes to restyle existing pieces in your wardrobe.” 

Stylist-Approved Fall Fashion Trends

Textured Skirts 

To transition from summer’s denim and poplin skirts, opt for different textured styles that “bring dimension to your looks,” per Kosky. Naturally, skirts have “a way of elevating any outfit” and this styling technique will take your ensembles a step further. Kosky said she’s “all about wool minis” right now, plus faux suede and leather, along with colored denim to add visual interest. She recommends styling textured skirts with a lightweight cardigan and flats or a tee, belt, and kitten heel mules. Regardless of how you wear them, “skirts are here to stay this fall,” per Kosky.   

Studded Accessories  

Looking to level-up your accessory game next season? Well, studded picks are about to become your new best friends. Whether your style errs on the edgier side or not, studs can elevate practically any look—“it all just comes down to styling,” as Kosky said. Dip your toes (literally) into the flourishing fad with studded ballet flats, or for “bold” flair, embrace Kosky’s “go-to look” and pair an embellished belt or bag with jeans and a sweater.   

Boho Blouses   

Kosky is calling it: “Boho-chic is back in the style rotation.” She says that “chiffon, flowy blouses” with “exaggerated sleeves” are bound to have “a fall moment” this year. When it comes to styling the statement tops, Kosky recommends calling upon reliable basics such as “relaxed blue denim” and incorporating chunky gold jewelry to really embrace “that boho vibe.” To give the trend a try, shop options above, including a floral find and gorgeous ruffled style.  

Leopard Print   

Prepare to take a walk on the wild side this fall because “leopard print is popping up more and more,” according to Kosky. The stylist recommends making the bold pattern “the centerpiece” of your ensembles by pairing it with “darker, more relaxed denim” and black slingback heels or flats and accessories. That is, unless you opt for printed shoes like this pair to make any outfit more interesting. Kosky advises not to “overly accessorize” when embracing the animal print trend, but rather “letting the leopard do all the talking.”
