With all the big fall trends arriving at retailers right now, there’s no better time to begin adding them to your closet. Many of the major trends are primed to add into your outfits at this very moment, and the best news? I’ve found them at any price point—whether you’re ready to invest in something straight from the runway or order an editor-approved version for a fraction of the price. So what are the essential fall trends to add to your cart now?

From the most talked-about shoes for the season ahead and the bag style that will be everywhere to the new way fashion insiders will be wearing leather and the print that will be huge, these are seven of the most popular fall trends that you need to know about. Go on to see each of these major fall trends with options you can splurge on or save on.

Leather Pieces

An all-leather (or vegan-leather) outfit will be one of the biggest trends this fall. Instead of wearing a leather biker jacket, try polished pieces like shirting or trousers executed in a leather finish.

Square-Toe Heels

Square-toe heels are the shoe trend to buy for fall. This style from Wandler is available in a range of colors, so you can go for something bold like this red version or stick to classic black. Or you can lean into the butter-yellow trend for fall with this style from Miista.

Houndstooth

Seen on runways from Chanel to Area, houndstooth will be a dominant print this fall. Wearing one bold piece from the pattern is enough to make a statement, but it looks especially fashion-forward when worn head to toe.

A Nouveau Trench Coat

Trench coats are a staple for fall year after year, but this time around they're getting a makeover with added details like ring-trimmed edges on the Burberry runway or a cape silhouette like we spotted at & Other Stories.
