These forward looks are more than enough inspiration for getting a head start on the trends ourselves.
From the It shoes insiders are behind to the color that will be taking off to the designer defining fashion in 2019, we can only expect to see more as we move closer to fall. Ahead, see how fashion insiders are already wearing the biggest fall trends on the streets of Paris, and shop my edit to wear each of them for yourself. And yes, this editor is 100% behind each of these trends for the season ahead.
Leather-on-Leather Looks
There's an entirely new way to wear leather this fall. Instead of throwing a leather jacket over an outfit, we'll see head-to-toe looks dominate.
Square-Toe Heels
Though square-toe shoes will be one of the biggest trends for fall, they're already being embraced by everyone in the fashion community. Here's a fall trend you can 100% start wearing now.
Designs by Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta
While wearing one designer isn't a trend per se, Bottega Veneta's ultra-modern pieces were spotted everywhere on the streets of Paris and have quickly risen to cult status among the fashion set.
Oversize blazers
Blazers continue to come back season after season, but each time with a few tweaks. This fall, blazers will be seen in oversize silhouettes with strong shoulders.
Butter Yellow
There's typically a dominant color that defines the street style scene each season. While beige took over this spring, moving ahead to fall, we'll be seeing butter yellow everywhere.
Slouchy Boots
If you're looking to invest in a pair of boots for fall, you can't go wrong with a slouchy silhouette. Style them with a maxi dress or skinny jeans.
