5 Fall Trends Worth Investing In and 5 We're Leaving Behind

Out with the old, and in with the new. Every season, our editors look forward to seeing what everyone's buzzing about. As we're heading into the fall, there's been an abundance of chatter about pulling the storage bins out from under our beds and opening up our drawers so we can rewear our favorite knits, jeans, and jackets. Although it's still hot in New York, you can never be too prepared when it comes to planning your fall wardrobe, especially if you're stocking up on the latest fall trends.

As fashion editors, it's natural that we cycle through trends like clockwork. Although there are dozens of new designs we're excited to wear this season, we have to prioritize what's in our daily rotation to make the closet space. As such, we decided to break down all the trends our editors are investing in this season and the ones staying in storage. Below, shop all of the items and silhouettes we're dreaming about for fall and beyond.

Investing In: Suede Jackets

Storing: Fur Jackets

Suede is set to be one of the most desirable fabrics for fall. With an abundance of suede belts, boots, and bags flooding the market, more and more of our editors and friends are reaching for chic suede jackets for a full-on statement suede look this season.

Investing In: Oxblood

Storing: Pastels

Although deep shades of red are certainly not new, the color seems to always make an appearance as soon as the weather starts cooling down. This season is no different, and bordeaux-colored bags, accessories, and shoes are coming back into the closet conversation.

Investing In: Studded Accents

Storing: Bows and Rosettes

Embellishments are one of the trends editors and stylists are excited for this fall, with round studded accents cropping up on jackets, leather purses, and, most notably, belts. Although you'd think this trend is a bit daunting to pull off, you can keep your outfit simple and relaxed while letting the studs do all the talking.

Investing In: Barn Coats

Storing: Moto Jackets

Is there a jacket trend quite as exciting as barn coats this season? Prada, Miu Miu, and the "old money British countryside" crowd agree. A boxy, oversize work jacket complete with a leather or suede collar is the silhouette to go for this season.

Investing In: Oversize Totes

Storing: Micro Bags

Although I do love a small statement bag, I'm all about slouchy, oversize tote bags this season. Ahead of the fall, there are a few that have already gone viral. Coach's Brooklyn tote and The Row's elegant Margaux tote have both been the bags to get this year. If you're in the market for an option that's a bit more affordable, Madewell and Reformation have put out their own versions too.
