5 Trending Fall Fabrics That Will Make Your Wardrobe Look Wildly Expensive

If you're like me, one of the first things you do when shopping online is check the fabric contents of the garment you're eyeing. After all, it's important to know if something is made of 100% silk or 100% polyester. Aside from that, many of the fashion trends for each season are actually fabric-specific, such as satin, linen, mohair, and flannel. The fabrics you choose to wear can change the whole look of your outfit, so they definitely matter.

Fabric also has a big impact on how expensive your wardrobe looks. Nothing says wealth like a cashmere sweater or suede blazer, which leads us to fall 2024's fabric trends. A handful of them are quite expensive looking, so if that's your style goal this season, these are the trends you'll want to invest in.

With that, keep scrolling to shop the top five expensive-looking fabric trends of fall/winter 2024, and see the runway examples that inspired the outfit-transforming trends.

Suede

If you asked me what the biggest trend of this season is, I'd probably say suede. Suede bags, blazers, shoes, skirts, trench coats, and vests are selling out left and right—especially in shades of brown. It'll make your outfits look effortlessly luxe in one fell swoop.

Raw Denim

The biggest, most elegant denim trend of the season is dark denim, which is usually made of raw denim. Raw denim is initially stiff denim that hasn't been pre-washed or distressed, giving it that trademark crisp, inky look. (Don't worry—the stiffness will soften with wear.)

Satin

Satin is one of the prettiest fabric trends of the season, and people are wearing it in the form of everything from skirts to shoes to trench coats. It's a lovely option to wear for a night out.

Tweed

One of the most elegant fabric trends of the season, tweed will forever be associated with Chanel, which continues to find new ways to use the fabric with each collection. More affordable brands like J.Crew and Zara also play their part in keeping tweed fresh and cool.
