As we walk into October, fashion enthusiasts can look forward to a plethora of exciting trends straight from the runway. One standout item is the classic trench coat, reimagined in bold colours and unique textures, offering a stylish way to layer during the cooler months. Turtleneck dresses are also making a significant impact, blending comfort with sophistication. These versatile pieces can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for both casual outings and formal events.

As opposed to fantastical, the new fall season is all set to make its debut with the unifying message, ‘making a monument out of the everyday’," says Neeraj Singh, Head of Design, Fashinza. “Keeping it real all the way, fashion enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the arrival of faux furs, leather, and yarns that hug tight in a cusp of softness. For that ultimate wardrobe refresh, make sure you don’t miss out on the trendiest Fall 2024 staples,” adds Singh.

Drawing inspiration directly from the runway, Singh shares key trends that are poised to define the fall season of 2024:

• Quintessential trench coats: Nothing says fall quite like a trench coat. This wardrobe staple, known for its effortless style and functionality, is undergoing a major revamp this season. Designers are embracing bold updates like oversized lapels and colourblocking. While the traditional khaki remains a classic, daring hues like plum, navy, and even deep burgundy are making waves. Perfect for layering, the trench coat is both sophisticated and practical, keeping you warm while offering endless style options for any occasion.

• Must-have denim jackets: Denim jackets are timeless for a reason; they're the ultimate versatile layering piece. Whether you’re dressing down in jeans and a T-shirt or adding a rugged edge to a turtleneck dress, this iconic jacket is ideal for transitional weather. With its casual charm and ability to elevate just about any outfit, the denim jacket remains a must-have for fall wardrobes. It's the perfect blend of classic and cool, adaptable to minimalist or more fashion-forward looks.

• Flaunt style and comfort in turtleneck: This fall, turtleneck dresses are making a strong comeback. Blending warmth with elegance, they are the perfect piece for transitioning from day to night. Whether you opt for a fitted ribbed style or a flowing midi-silhouette, these dresses are effortlessly chic and cozy, making them ideal for braving the chilly temperatures. Available in various styles, turtleneck dresses strike the right balance between comfort and sophistication, suitable for casual outings or evening events.

• Pullovers, make them oversized: Oversized pullovers are the ultimate cosy essential for fall. Voluminous yet chic, these sweaters can be styled with a pair of jeans or layered over a dress for added warmth. Chunky cable-knit designs and soft cashmere textures add a luxe feel, while the oversized fit offers both comfort and a stylish silhouette. Experiment with textures and proportions to keep your fall outfits versatile and on-trend.

• Sleek leather everything: Leather is no longer just for jackets; this season, it’s taking over the entire wardrobe. From tailored blazers to midi skirts and wide-leg pants, leather is being reimagined for everyday wear. Choose rich tones like deep burgundy, olive green, or classic black to add a touch of luxury and edge to your fall looks.

• Maxi skirts with a modern twist: Maxi skirts are a major trend this fall, with modern updates like asymmetrical cuts and daring slits. Available in fabrics like satin, wool, and denim, these skirts offer both drama and practicality. Layer them with chunky sweaters or tailored blazers for a chic autumn outfit.

• Statement blazers for sharp sophistication: Blazers are no longer just for the office, this fall, they’re bolder than ever. With oversized fits, structured shoulders, and striking patterns, statement blazers are a key trend. Whether in plaid, pinstripes, or vibrant hues like cobalt blue, they instantly elevate any ensemble, making them perfect for both workdays and weekends.
